Well, I don't know about you - and I don't want to offend anyone's politics - but I am SO SAD over what happened to our country last night. Never in my lifetime did I ever think that I would live to see a Socialist/Marxist voted into the office of the President of the United States. My grandpa fought in WWI to defeat people like this; my uncle and my dad fought in WWII to defeat people like this. How sad they would be today. HOWEVER...I DO know that GOD is still on His throne! Whatever judgement we must go through, we can do all through Christ Who strengthens us. But here is a bright spot in my day - my youngest dd, who is a Senior in our homeschool this year - handed me this impromptu essay that she's going to put on her My Space... Yesterday a man was elected President of the United States. Someone I fear. Someone who approves of abortion, someone who approves of gay marriages and someone who is a Socialist and his name is Barack Obama. I am starting to wonder what has happened to our country. I have a couple of things I would like to say to you all today and I felt like I needed to share them with you. I watched a movie today called "The Patriot," and if you haven't seen it yet, or you have seen it and it's just been a long time, then I encourage you to watch it. Now, granted, the fact that the story of a man named Benjamin Martin (character played by Mel Gibson) and his family's story may not be true; but what they did to his family in the movie, those kinds of things did happen to other families back then; and they probably did things to those people that we wouldn't even want to see on screen. The main thing that I want you all to realize is that they won the Revolutionary War because they didn't take God out of the center of that war. We have taken God so much out of politics that it's sickening. People like George Washington and Abraham Lincoln would be rolling over in their graves over our nation right now. Those two men made a difference in our country because they kept their faith in God! So I ask you now...What has happened to our nation? We take God out of our nation more and more, and let me tell you something, if you take God out of our nation there is not going to BE a nation. I want to go back to that movie, "The Patriot," for just a little bit. That main character, Benjamin Martin, lost so much. But we see him hold on to his unfailing faith. He always knew that God was with him. What a great testimony for those who are struggling. But where has faith like that gone in our nation? We all take so lightly the purpose of voting or just being here in America period! I read an article about what some women went through just to have the right to vote. They were arrested for wanting just to vote! Listen to these true stories..."Lucy Burns was beaten until she could no longer stand. She was chained with her hands above her head to cell bars and was left there hanging and gasping for air...Dora Lewis was hurled into a dark cell, smashed her head into an iron bed and knocked her out cold. Her cellmate, Alice Cosu, thought Lewis was dead and suffered a heart attack. Additional affidavits describe the guards grabbing, dragging, beating, choking, slamming, pinching, twisting and kicking the women." This was called the "Night of Terror" on Nov. 15, 1917. Nobody acts like they even remember what happened at 9/11 anymore. I even forgot about it this year...how sad is that?! God gave us a second chance to change the world on 9/11. There has been so many opportunities for our nation to come together but we haven't taken them. God wants us to witness to the world and how can we do that if our own nation is starting to fall apart with gangs and racial issues?! I think these people would be disappointed in our choices and our actions. I know some of you out there didn't even vote and that always disappoints me when someone doesn't vote. Because the people before us worked so hard to be able to let you all vote and we take it for granted. People want to take God out of public schools completely and that is just not right. I will be praying for our country and our troops. We need to remember that God is and always will be he center of our nation. Not the President and/or Senators. This is God's nation! Last night, after the 11p.m. (est) announcement that Obama had officially crossed the 270 electoral votes, this dd came down and said, "Mommy, I think we need to pray now!" I am so proud of my girls, but - as I'm sure you know - there are those moments that just make your heart nearly burst from love. This was one of them for me. Blessings from Ohio, Kim Wolf<>< GOD IS STILL ON THE THRONE!! |
