2013

The election of our lifetime is coming close enough that my thoughts are running to the days after it takes place.
For the past year, polls are increasingly pointing out a majority of unhappy Americans, but in the last few weeks, the in-fighting between conservatives plus the naysayers predicting Obama can 'work his magic' again on the sheep is leaving me with some uneasy feelings.
I, like so many other Christians not only in America, but across the world, have prayed and are trusting that God will guide His people no matter what happens, but I know in my heart that this is our last chance at stopping the socialism and entitlement age that the current administration is fueling and feeding. Once the "goodies" for the masses become so entrenched that taking them away means angry street mobs and dangerous confrontations, we might be truly lost. Once the great light of liberty is extinguished here, there is no other place to go and no great nation to stand up for oppressed humanity.
I will continue to hope, pray, and work for awareness and continue to believe that the true American spirit will come forth and save our nation for our children, but if I let my mind wander to "what if?".......
I know that my faith and beliefs will be greatly tested because I see myself with fewer friends and family members that I can keep in my life. How can we sit across a table and break bread with family members that we know will have caused the downfall of all we believe in? How can we work peaceably and comfortably alongside "traitors" to all we hold dear? I just don't think I will be able to stomach it, because you see....this is no 'normal' election where we can agree to disagree, and then go watch the game.....THIS election is "make or break". This election will change our nation forever...for the better or for the worse. This election will cause mighty splits in families and between neighbors, the likes of which probably will not have been seen since the Civil War.
Please do all that you can to make sure everyone around you knows what is at stake this November....and that is only a start. The Congress needs to be cleaned out and cleaned up. Something has to be done on all levels of government to unravel the mess..But we have to start making people aware of what we have to lose.....in 2013.
