We had the grandchildren over today and I was drafted for a game of hide and seek. The four year old didn’t have a clue. He told me to hide behind the door, counted to three and then came and found me. We switched roles. He went and hid behind the door, while I was still watching. We both screeched when I “found” him. My granddaughter walked by him in his bright green shirt when he was playing turtle on the floor in front of the couch. She did not see him. Needless to say we all had a great time.
It also taught me something about our American population. Like my grandchildren, they don’t have a clue. They don’t see things in plain sight. They never look in corners. They are as mature as those kids were and they often have just as good a time. The polls say that a third of Americans still would rather have Biden in the White House with prices that have doubled than to have someone who posted mean tweets which effected them just how?
If you live next door to one of that third, or have one in the family, you need to realize they will never understand what you are talking about. They believe Joe when he says he as endorsed by the Border Patrol. They think the devil wears an orange suit. It is about that simple.
That means that the other two thirds have to step up to the plate. It means speaking up. It means taking a stand. It also means getting right with God and living a life of repentance. That is actually the hard part.
November is coming. We keep saying the current election is vital. If you don’t believe it is true then just look at the condition of the country compared to four years ago. It is hard to believe anyone could destroy things so quickly. They did. Once again, it is the most important election of our life time. Maybe they all are.
I hope to be seeing you on the other side. I pray that the rule of law will be revived. I know that a lot of people need to go to jail. I dream that violence will not be necessary. It was a good life while it lasted.
