Election night blues . . .

Well it’s the evening of the election results and unfortunately my predictions are coming true. It appears that January will bring major changes in life in America. I asked Linda earlier this week where in Canada she’d like to move if the election doesn’t go according to our wishes and suggested that Victoria on Vancouver Island would be my choice. Too far north but then that is pretty much true of Canada in general. :-)
My concern with the change will be for the safety of the new president, can’t say his name yet. It will come but not tonight. If some nut does something stupid the result could be real disaster, and Biden doesn’t seem up to coping with that kind of future to me. So, I will begin to pray in earnest for the safety of a man that I didn’t vote for. I will also begin to pray for divine guidance for him in all decisions that he makes.
I’m glad that I don’t feel panic but only great concern for our nation and the direction that it is headed. From my point of view those now moving into leadership represent the worst fruits of our nation, secular leaders with little to no concern for our spiritual direction. It all seems so Old Testament in a turn away from the light of the world.
Enough optimism this evening; I think I’ll watch something on the food channel.
Check back later and make sure I’m still in Oklahoma and not teaching Canadian history.

on a more serious note - I appreciate your post. While the election results were disappointing to many, I try to keep myself from limiting God. Obviously God gave us free will, and currently evil exists in our midst, but we should be careful of putting God in box - of assuming that he cannot work his will through anybody in any situation.

O.K. papa Bill, it's been a week and we haven't seen anything new posted (or heard from you). Does this mean you're in Canada now?
