Well, it has been awhile since I posted anything. I went on vacation and never came back, so to speak. And then there is the crazy state of the world. It has almost been too much to comment on. It is huge. The import of the election is almost more than I can take in and process. First it is scarey; second it seems hopeless, and third it appears to have spun out of the control of everyone except those with evil intent for our country and unscrupulous methods of achieving their ends. If Machiavelli was alive, he would be proud to see his methods being put to such effective use.
But it is not over til it is over, and ultimately God is in control, sovereign to HIS ends, not ours. So to that truth I will add these encouragements:

Ephesians 1:18-19 (NIV) "I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened inorder that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of this glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe."

Psalm 139:16 "All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be." (emphasis mine)

My point is this: God knew what is coming before we were born and his power and riches are ours and they are our hope in all that lies before us. We do not have to worry or be scared or even be angry about the outcome of this election because God has it all in hand.

However, that does not mean we sit back and do nothing. We have to vote. We have to talk to people and get them to vote. We have to try to convince people to vote the right way by showing them to what the wrong vote will lead.

As I have already written, Amity Shlaes' The Forgotten Man is a must read to understand that what the Democrats want to do to this country is no different from FDR's New Deal for the 21st century. it did not work in the 1930's and it will not work now.
A book I have to find is The Road to Serfdom by F.A. Hayek. This is suppose to be a difinitive explanation of socialism and how we get there.
Got to go now. More later. A lighter note perhaps.
