Howdy all! It has been a long time coming but it’s finally here!
So,..
God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from God. ~ Ephesians 2:8
I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death. ~ Thomas Paine, The Crisis, No. 1, 1776
So many of you out there have been so busy working to gain the respect of your neighbors, confidence of those you meet in the store, at the train station, in the airports, at work, everywhere. You have walked door to door, called on the phone, networked on social media. You have done a tremendous amount of work. Why? You have been enlightened. You have been awakened. You may have missed what was happening to our republic before but are now absolutely aware, and now you realize that you don’t want it to pass into the dark.
To all this I say well done! There has been so much done by so many with relatively little means except a voice that has echoed through the ages. As Mark Levin calls it, the Paul and Paulette Reveres. Glenn Beck once spoke of the ‘refounders’; those who would be willing to step forward and revive the republic as the original founders had. He said he had 9 committed. I think that if asked now, he would say he had thousands if not millions. They are you. You all are the refounders of our nation. I salute you for everything you have done. So, what do we do now?
Monday. You may have the energy to work just one more day. If so, do it. You may be ready for a break. If so, spend that time in peaceful prayer. Pray for what will happen Tuesday. Pray for what will happen Wednesday. Pray for what will happen up until Jan 20. And pray for what will happen over the next four years. We all have learned that even the best intended citizen-statesmen and women can be co-opted. And there will be efforts to co-opt every single one. Pray they can withstand the efforts against them.
Tuesday? Watch. Watch with every sense. Watch with your eyes, with your ears, with your mind, with your soul. Whatever happens at the polls, be not afraid. Gather strength from distress. Grow brave by reflection. Those who may be present to intimidate or ‘observe’ are people of the business of little minds. Keep your heart firm. Keep your principles close to your heart. And above all, believe in yourselves. Believe that you are full of the strength God gave you. Take credit for your work in this election season, but take no credit for its outcome. That is God’s gift to us all.
Wednesday? Rejoice! I have already taken Wednesday off. A good cup of tea, a biscuit, and a shot of the finest single malt scotch you can find. And a good book. You deserve it!
Take care, God bless and especially at this time in history,
STAND WITH ISRAEL!!!
