I'm officially scared!
My reaction to the results of yesterday's presidential election "looked" very similar to the reaction of Obama supporters in Grant Park last night. I am referring to the individuals with tear streaked faces clinging to their loved ones. However, I wasn't crying tears of joy. My tears were more of the panic and pain variety. I am actually not joking. I am officially scared. Have we reached a time in American history where the majority of the people are choosing evil instead of good? It certainly seems that way. Forgive me for being an alarmist, but we will soon have an executive and legislative branch controlled by individuals who are pro-choice, pro-gay marriage, pro-big government and pro-socialism. Obama will most likely also have the opportunity to appoint three new supreme court judges, which means that the same type of individuals will also be controlling our judicial branch. Why am I feeling like the end is closer than I had been anticipating? I listen to many Obama supporters and they honestly feel that he is going to save them from all of their problems and despair. People are so lost and confused. Everyone is looking for a Savior but no one is turning to Christ, they are turning to the democratic party. Are we going to take four years of this nonsense and then regain our moral compass and elect people who also have some principles? Or are we going to be mislead further by Satan and his minions who currently have the majority of American's thinking that all of this feels good? I don't know the answer to these questions, but I know I am going to take the counsel of our church leaders a little more seriously. I am going to work harder to be physically and spiritually prepared. I am going to pray like crazy that this country is protected from the debauchery of our elected officials. And to quote our new president-elect I am going to "cling to my guns and my religion."

Well, you were up early. I share your sentiments in this regard, but I am further discouraged by the feeling that things have to get worse before they will get better.
The single bright note of the morning is the passing of Prop 8 in California. That will delay (and re-ignite?) the effort to erode the definition of a family, at least for a few months.
I worry, like you, that all of this is just a harbinger of the inevitable direction we're heading. And as far as Obama's Supreme Court appointments? We have already seen that Judges are asserting themselves as Makers of the Law and not stopping at Interpretation.
And I'll just add that we have not seen the last of Ms. Rodham Clinton. Have a Happy Wednesday!
I second your thoughts! We were just discussing how "the end" may be sooner then we all anticipated. How sad. Do not procrastinate the day of your repentence means a lot more now!!!
My thoughts exactly! I miss you and wish we could commiserate over an ice cream sundae together.
I am trying to keep postitve and hopefully he will do some good-hopefully! I know its kind of scary though!

It was given before we had any kids and it brought great comfort because we know the world will go down hill but we don't need to fear!
