Disagreeing

Protest, demonstrations, the right to assemble. Rather it be the pipe line in South Dakota, or in the streets across other cities protesting the election or black lives matter. We might not agree with forward progress or the results of a election, or if it is in regards to police brutality.  We as Americans have the right to demonstrate what we believe in, or what we stand against.  Even with in our own families we  disagree on diffrent issues, we engage in dialog debating on our own views on current events.  We live in a country were we can voice our views without persecution from the government and we should not be little one anouther because we disagree. We are divided in many issues we can all agree on that.  Some believe in the right of progress for the benefit of the greater good, some believe in protecting what is theirs  fighting to keep it as it has been for hundreds of years. Some believe they were cheated and their freedoms taken away, while others view their freedoms being protected and restored. We need to show compassion, exhibit understanding and patience when dealing with people of different views. We need to come together as Americans agreeing that we don't see everything the same way. We need to learn to compramise when it doesn't go against what God calls sin.  We live in the greatest nation in the world, a shinning light of freedom. But don't use that freedom to harm others or being them down because they view things differently than you.  Show love, have mercy when you engage in a disagreement.

Entitled generation

We live in time where young people believe that they are entitled, and when things don't turn out the way they think they should they throw a fit like a toddler. There is a diffreance in a peaceful protest and all out defiance of law & order.  Just because they didn't get their trophy they now believe they can throw a fit and get what they want. What they should of got was a butt whooping instead of a time out growing up!  They should of been sternly disciplined instead of being cuddled for misbehavior. They should of learned when you lose you lose there is no trophy for participation. But learned you try and train harder for next time. If they don't like the results of the election then you run next time or you get out and drum up support for who you think should win, you don't throw a fit and wine because you lost! Suck it up butter cup and grow up!  There was a time when kids your age where storming a beach shedding their blood sacrificing their lives so that you could protest, but you dishonor their lives with having no respect for other peoples lives or property or that you choose to not only dishonor the flag and them by burning the flag or refusing to stand in honor of the playing of the National Anthem.  There is no such thing as a safe place, you need to grow up and be a productive member of society and stop demanding hand outs and a free ride in this life at the expanse of others. You are a disgrace in the way you are acting! Your actions are laughable to the world. They look at you and don't see the strong America they once feared but a soft cry baby who is easily offended. If you are the futhure of America, than there is no futhure.  Grow up try living your live for someone else instead of your self, learn there is no reward for second or last place. Learn if you want something bad enough you got to work for it, it is not always going to handed to you. I got news for you the world and life is a hard cruel place. Mommy, teachers and professors are not going to be there for you. It's time for you to stop acting like a child and become men and women that can contribute to this Nation, helping it to become a stronger and better place for your children and grandchildren. There is no such thing as a free ride or a free lunch, you want something get off your butt and work for it in a honest and legal way.

God's hand in this election

God showed up!  A nation where millions of God fearing believers and followers of Christ humbled themselves and prayed, the impossible happened!  Mathematically and logically there was no way that Trump should have won the election. Even those of us who planned on voting for him thought the chances were slim.  We were willing to accept the outcome whatever it was but we refused to vote for someone which we saw as pure evil. How do you explain when a nation is so divided blue States turned red,  States he should not have won he won! States that he had to win he won! Trump outperformed many recent Republicans in battle ground states. It seemed as though Millions remained silent not revealing what they were going to do until Tuesday. As we watch the results come in we sat there in disbelief or we set there in excitement shaking our head asking is this real? I will compare this election to this it be on the grounds of a college baseball team winning the World Series or a high school team winning the NCAA championship!  What we think or perceive as impossible or imaginable actually came true!  God uses the simple things in this world to confound the wise. God uses the simple things to let us know that he is in control that it was only through him and his power that it happened.  Everybody can sit down and analyze this election they can crunch numbers they can evaluate but they will never fully understand how it happened until they acknowledge God had a hand in these results. I honestly believe this election was decided because millions of people had Faith as a mustard seed they poured their hearts out to God asking for his will to be done,  and that he would once again bless this nation and that he would forgive us of our iniquities and of our sins that we have committed against him.  I personally give God the glory for the election results I encourage you to do also.
