Whoa, this thing still exists?

779 page views.  This thing is still here.  Kind of miraculous that the views have grown even though I haven't written anything in forever.

I'm sitting here at a coffee shop....  Wait wait, I'm sitting here at the coffee shop also known as Coffea.  I'm watching my beautiful fiancée close down the shop here.

I wanted to reflect upon the last few days and how the election seems to bring out the worst in people.

Disclaimer:  I am a registered Democrat who votes with whatever candidate aligns with most of my views.  I will change my voter registration to whichever party has the more interesting Presidential primaries, and I tend to put more emphasis on the majority party in both houses of Congress than I do on the Presidential election.

I am beyond sick of seeing and hearing people talk about leaving the country because President Obama was elected to a second term.  Ladies and gentlemen, if we ran and hid until we got our way, where would we be in life?  That is not the answer.  Now, I'm aware probably 98% of those people were kidding, but seriously, lets think for a minute.

The thing that bothers me most about this election is the fact that a lot of people were talking about how God needs to "save us" from this.  And America made a "stupid decision".  Well I have news for you people.  First off, America made a majority decision.  That's the joy of a democracy.  Secondly--God. Ordains. Governments. (Whatever that means).  Just because President Obama is in office doesn't mean we cannot continue to serve our Lord and Savior.  In fact, some of the things the President Obama wants to do will make it easier to do so!  Ladies and gentlemen, this post may be rambling, but I feel as though thats ok--its kind of the nature of politics.

Long story short--trust in God.  Trust in His perfect plan and His faithfulness.  This country will survive.  We always have, and we always will.  If we continue to look to the One who gives life, we will never fail.  We will run and not grow weary and all that other good Isaiah stuff.

Look up.  Look to the light.  Look past the head of our government to the head of the entire world.

God is in control people.  Even if there is a "muslim" in office.
