After the events I witnessed last week, I felt compelled to focus on a couple of things that were discussed everywhere. Topics that I feel strongly about and try to provide each week within our pages. First up, we are all on God’s time. The expression that we are all day-to-day is one I commonly use. That is really a little inaccurate — we are all really second-to-second.
There is a plan for all of us, whether we want to admit it or not, and those with the strongest faith often face the most unexpected hurdles. See, that faith in God and belief in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, if you are a Christian like me, doesn’t prevent bad things from happening. It should, however, provide you with the comfort and love guaranteed by God to help you deal with life on mortal Earth.
Now, here’s the really difficult thing. No matter how strong your faith is, things just flat-out hurt; there’s no getting around it. This, of course, until that second-to-second thing happens to you, and you leave the mortal world. When your work here is done, hopefully, you’ve earned your way to the peace you deserve.
I should also mention that no matter how strong your family and loved ones’ faith is, your absence will be felt. This is even more true if you answered God’s callings and loved your fellow human beings as instructed, including those who may have totally disagreed with you about everything.
It’s pretty easy to understand why one may lose or fall away from their faith during their journey. Life has a way of wearing you down, and we all need a love and support system. My prayer for you is for peace and hope. I pray that you have folks in your life who can help you understand God’s will and God’s time and that you make the most of them.
The battle of good vs. evil has reached a fever pitch, and mortal deception is at an all-time high. Please apply common sense, no matter how passionate you are about politics. There are bad intentions hidden within all that appears good. That is just how it works.
That gets me to the lack of common sense. I don’t care if you’re driving a car, shopping at the local Walmart, or just observing. I bet you could give me an example of somebody displaying this right now.
The common sense I will focus on involves the presidential election campaign and the assassination attempt on former President Trump.
Let’s begin with President Biden. I don’t want to get into all the hows, whats, and whys, but just the obvious. His physical and mental health are compromised; he can’t do this job. The top people within the Democratic Party have stated this. By the time you read this, he may no longer be their candidate due to the rising temperatures of those who once swore by him.
What is in the best interest of our Nation, the American people, and the free world is to have a better choice. I thought I’d stated this in a very respectful way over the past two weeks.
I could provide a list of more qualified democrats, including the vice president, our governor, and Gavin Newsom of California. My motive for doing so has nothing to do with money, power, or political gain. Can the same be said for Congressman Adam Schiff, and many other high ranking Democrats?
President Biden is now sidelined from the campaign trail by COVID. If his wife, Dr. Jill, has any common sense, she will encourage him to announce he will complete this term but cannot run for re-election due to his weakening health. It has been painful to watch the President and what he has gone through recently.
I would also like to cover what took place in Butler, Pennsylvania, last week. Someday, I may have the facts, but for now, I’ll hit common sense. The Secret Service failed to do their job. They then complicated the problem with a lack of information and transparency. This cannot happen.
Most importantly, it needs to be corrected immediately to protect those deserving of Secret Service protection. What occurred is completely unacceptable and shows our vulnerability to all who want to bring harm to our Nation, including homegrown domestic terrorists.
My heartfelt prayers to the family of former Buffalo Township Fire Chief Corey Comperatore, as well as the other victims of the day, including President Trump. We all understand this is the world we’re living in, but would never expect it to happen in what should be one of the safest spots on Earth. Talk about the attempted silencing of freedom of speech.
My hope is that out of this horrific moment caught on camera, we now witness a divided America coming back together to fight as one. Whether or not Donald J. Trump returns to the Oval Office will be decided between now and Election Day. The Democratic Party now has the ball in its court to figure it out and convince Americans who to vote for. Common sense tells me whoever wins has a tough job ahead. Please keep things in perspective.
May God Bless and Help America.
