WHY CAN’T WE JUST GET ALONG?

History repeats itself often enough? I was reminded of a democracy long ago that because of its prosperity was a threat to the monarchs of other nations. They were attacked on all sides but prevailed in many battles. Sadly their nations history is tarnished by what happened internally. Political infighting., misinformation, riots and mob rule caused many good citizens to loose their lives. It destroyed their economy, cohesion and harmony. They almost lost their nation because a few in power contrived with the country’s enemies. Hate was the prevailing mood at this time and coupled with fear many evil deeds happened.

Today I was given the opportunity to share my perspective on the current political climate. I have shared many of my views previously in this blog but this time I had a check in my spirit not to respond. Realization dawned on me that their minds were made up. Nothing I could say or online information shared could persuade them to think differently. My best bet and only hope was to pray for them. Do I really know the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Many on both sides of the political realm thread an element of truth amongst the lies. Only the truth giver can help those so firmly set in their ways but I also need to be better prepared when the spirit leads.

One of my goals is to share our freedom that is so precious. Freedom to work, play, worship and in general live life as we choose. This requires love not hate. Leaders need to find common ground but sadly that has become increasingly difficult. We live in a fallen world and darkness is everywhere. Be the light, dispel the darkness in your corner of the universe. Love and live large with respect, integrity, community and having fun.


Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone.
