Do You Have Any Idea?

Do you have any idea what it is like

to watch election returns 

while fasting to prep for blood work?

It is pure torture.

As the returns came back last evening,

each one pointing to 

the lessening of my candidate's chances

I yearned to nibble.

There were jellybeans in a bowl

just across the room.

I could have been there

in mere seconds.

One swipe of the hand 

and they would have been mine.

However, 

that was not to be.

Just as my choice for president

was not supposed to win.

However, 

today I am going to go and get 

that bloodwork done.

I'll move on.

And so will our Country.

We will make the best of it.

I'm sad because I believe that so many 

are enslaved to the check that comes in the mail

each month.

I'm sad because the family values that my candidate

would have supported have been discarded.

But, you know what?

This is apparently what "we" want.

I will pray that God will show His people

how we can show His love to those around us.

I don't believe that spewing hate

and despair is the answer.

Somehow

that just doesn't seem Christlike.

Can you imagine?

And so.....

just as I had to put aside the desire for 

jellybeans......

Yes there might be a political implication

if you are old enough to get it.....

I will wait and see what 

God will do 

over these next four years.

God is definitely not dead.

He is at work.

His purposes are never wrong.
