"Bea." Before I talk about the Election, please pray, if you are so inclined, for BEA (pictured.) In my blogs of March 9th and April 3rd, you may recall that two of my previous "adopted moms" died. The last remaining one is BEA, shown here when she turned 90 last year. See, when being taken to vote on Election Day (NOT by ME, by the way), Bea was struck by a car and is presently hospitalized.
Bea is expected to recover, but at her age, one never knows so please, again, if you are so inclined, please pray for my last surviving "adopted mom." Thank you!!
Now, "The Election."
For any who thought this wasn't a big win for Donald Trump, well, in my opinion you are very much mistaken. If memory serves me correctly, our last three Presidents all served two terms (eight years) but lost both the House AND Senate in the Midterms of their FIRST term. Trump only lost the HOUSE...and by a relatively narrow margin, at that. He now looks like a shoo-in for re-election in 2020, assuming he runs, because he has outperformed Presidents Clinton, Bush and Obama who each served TWICE..
And the Democrats in the House seem intent on (naively) HELPING Trump's re-election in two years because it looks like they are bent on trying to IMPEACH him, even though the Republican-dominated Senate will never REMOVE him. This will accomplish two things...1.) Create a backlash against the Dems as they try to oust a guy for no LEGAL reason WHILE THE ECONOMY IS HUMMING and 2.) Keep the Dems from accomplishing anything ELSE worthwhile...giving Trump a CAMPAIGN theme ("I wanted to continue to do the business of the American people, but the Democrats hindered me at every turn. Re-elect ME, but give me the House AND Senate again.")
In years past, when one Party won the House and the other captured the Senate, it was, in boxing terms, a "split decision" and "everyone" felt good about it, BOTH sides felt represented.
TODAY, sadly, this "split decision" will only "split" us even more as we are under God's judgment, people. It's GOD'S JUDGMENT that has turned us into a "house divided, which cannot stand." My wife and I were watching a new show on network TV the other night. Commendably, this show features a strong, professional black woman in a starring role and she is married inter-racially to a white guy. These are GOOD societal changes that were NOT possible, it seemed, in years past...'least not that they'd be widely acceptable and palatable!! However, this same show featured TWO gay married couples and tried to make THEM acceptable, ALSO. I turned the show off and we'll never watch it again...it is because of America's sin of openly embracing Homosexuality that the Lord is JUDGING us by the divisions and unrest we are experiencing in America. Read Genesis 19 and Romans 1...God is not raining fire and brimstone on us, but He is "giving us up" to our sin and unless we repent and turn from it, I believe we will eventually destroy OURSELVES. It all started, as I see it, 20 years ago when it came out that Clinton committed adultery in the Oval Office and 65% of Americans APPROVED of him, nonetheless. (This kept the Senate from REMOVING him, though he was IMPEACHED by the House, because of testimony regarding the Lewinsky affair.) As a nation, America embraced sin as never before when that happened, and now we are embracing HOMOSEXUALITY as never before. A sad, obvious, and ominous declension.
"In wrath, remember mercy, oh Lord." Only HE (not Trump, who I did vote for and will again) can save us now!! Let us cease from hoping in Democrats OR Republicans, repent of OUR sins, whatever they are and PRAY that the Lord will grant repentance to America.
Thus ends today's Chetitorial!!
