Opus 2025-016: Happy Faces

I am finding people who are sharing that they are feeling optimistic about the future.  They are smiling when they say it.  I talked with another one Sunday after church.  He brought it up out of the blue.

I wonder why.  Could it be that they are starting to believe that Trump will make it to office?  Do they see Americans being Americans?  Do they think we will see the Electoral College do its job?  Have they upped their meds?

It is okay to think things will get better.  At the same time don’t stop praying.  Don’t stop being salt.  Keep speaking up, standing up and, if you can’t push back, don’t be pushed into a corner.  Keep in mind that they are used to traditional people going back to minding their own business, assuming they have won and forgetting to lock their doors at night.

Find a way to tie a string around your finger so you will remember.  Find something that reminds you of the evil that is out there waiting for you to look the other say.  Maybe a picture of Ashli Babbitt as wallpaper on your computer screen.  Put it where you see it every morning when you make your coffee.  Remember what was.  Embrace what is.  Commit to live the day the way God would want you to and let Him worry about the big issues.
