"If many Americans return to embracing a God who is great, maybe it can happen. Make America Great Again, and let it start with me.

I like what you said and totally agree!

This photo says to me that the woman #1: loves this great nation of America and what it stands for (shown by the shirt she wears). #2: she is putting her faith and trust in God rather than in a man/candidate (shown by her praying instead of applauding a candidate). #3: She is showing that she likes what she hears from Trump (as she is wearing his hat). Personally, I am not ready to say that any particular candidate is ordained or appointed by God to be President. We have already seen how disappointing it can be when one declares himself to be, then turns out to be a liar on a grand scale casting doubt on whether or not he and his "Globalist" wife even understands what it means to be a Christian. I am putting all my faith and hope in God and His plan for America and praying for Him to give us someone who can do the job.

I am also keeping in mind that the someone God uses for the job may not on first glance be a "poster-boy" Christian. But then neither was Saint Paul and God pulled him out of the gutter of the Roman army and .... well, the rest is history. What's the difference in the not-so-Christain-conservative Cruz and the not-so-apparent-Christain-conservative Trump? Trump is being honest. He admits that he has done his fair share of sinning, he admits that he has practiced Democratic leanings in the past (we have to be honest that most of Americans, even we "conservative" ones, can identify with)..... but Trump is showing us in so many ways that he truly wants to make America Great Again, and he understands what it will take to do that, and he has many of the skills necessary to lead us in that direction. If he does indeed get elected, we will all need to continue praying..... I daresay even pray even more fervently that God will control him.

And indeed.... "let it start with me, and HiTech RedNeck, and you and you and you and all Freepers....."

It won’t always be easy. Let’s be ready to hold whatever candle the good Lord may set before us to hold. It’s easy, quite easy, to curse darkness. I’ve been wrangling with the “bathroom issue” people who feel satisfied with a quick, easy swearing off of a place where most of them may hardly ever go anyhow. It is starting to dawn on me that the painful isolation of modern society has a lot (by no means all, but a lot) to do with our problems. Someone acts evilly weird, someone truly menaces, someone suffers in plain sight, and it’s like nobody cares. This is not a new theme. It was lamented decades ago in such songs as “The Sound of Silence.” Where, among other things, the words of the prophets were found in nihilistic graffiti — because other would-be prophets were saying nothing in places where it mattered.

If a new awareness has to start with bathroom awareness, however, then so it must. The Lord who wasn’t too proud to undergo the grit and gore of a crucifixion, surely does not quail at bathrooms. If the gospel has to return to bathrooms first before it returns elsewhere, so may it be. However it isn’t going to happen by faithful Christians just refusing to come near them. Jesus risked getting tarred by association with the tax collector, sinner, glutton, and drunkard.
