How to Deal with Post Election Grief and/or Pride

Of all the people I know, I have invested the least amount of emotional energy into this election season.  I just did not make the time to put energy into it.  But check this out: I'm tired!  When I read the news this morning, I felt the pain of the Democrats and I felt the pride of the Republicans.  And I carried that weight with me this morning.  It was an interesting feeling.  I thought to myself, how heavy is THAT weight; namely, to put all of my hope in a person or in a political party only to have my hopes and dreams of what I thought to be a Great America shot down.  That is super heavy and my heart breaks for those who put their faith in a candidate or in a political party.

And I can't help but think what God was thinking this entire time.  I wonder what his attitude was toward those who call themselves Christ followers or children of God.  Was God like, "hello people.  I am in control.  I've been in control.  I got this people!  Ever heard of Hitler, Mussolini, Mao, Stalin, Nero???  All dead.  I'm still alive.  I controlled history back then and I'm still on the throne.  What now?  You people think that it matters to me who is president?  I have things to do and a kingdom to build.  1,000 of your years is how long it takes me to sneeze.  I got this.

Or perhaps little tiny rulers on planet earth do affect how God rules?  No.  Never mind.  That's just too silly.  I'll stick to what I said earlier.

The results are in: Jesus Christ is still on this throne and he's got this....

Be blessed and go kill some sin and glorify HIM.

An Unorthodox Christian Perspective on Hillary and Trump

Something for the "Evangelical Conservative Christian loving Christians" to consider between now and November and for the rest of our time here on earth.

Remember that God is in the business of picking people that you and I wouldn't pick...and changing the world through them...
