Honestly, I think it’s the curse of everyone being “too busy.” Just like that story about how Satan will keep people from hearing God and doing his will by keeping people busy, busy, busy. Don’t you think his hand is in all of this. Satan hates everything and anything that has to do with God’s son and America, regardless of one’s faith, is a country founded on Judeo Christian values and principles and has built its society on this. Unlike Europe who slipped into darkness years ago, America is on the precipice.
We need to remember the scripture that says we are to redeem the time for the days are evil.
I’m sorry I got so “religious” but I do see this as a greater spiritual battle. For we are wrestling with principalities and powers in the heavenly realm.
No need to apologize. I’m not used to seeing things couched in these terms, but I have been having the same thoughts - as are many others.
No matter what happens, I can take comfort in the fact that conservatives, by and large, are far more likely to call upon God for blessings and guidance than to mock and deny Him, which many on the left seem to enjoy. Not that God is automatically on our side, but that we seek to be on His side!
PS I am in a DAR family also (SAR, I suppose, for me). I shudder to think what our ancestors, who fought and died for us, would think.
“Beware the barrenness of a busy life.”
