Grieved

We are more than sad at how the elections turned out. So sad to see people voting who don't understand the issues. There is such a push now, with the bottom line being, "Just Vote!" We are so less educated in these matters than previous generations. I'm no exception, but at least the biggies are obvious to me.

Also, is the economy really the most important thing right now? (Even if it were, we aren't getting a president who will help matters.) What could be more important than life, family, and national sovereignty?

As I cuddle my sweet newborn, I'm sad to say goodbye to the most pro-life president we've had and hell-o to the most pro-abortion. Our president elect would just as soon have my son destroyed as he was being born, as he would have him laid on my chest to love and nurture...and in the process send his mama into a lifetime of hideous guilt and grief.

I'm currently reading about our history leading up to the Civil War, and I'm dumbfounded at how someone who's heritage was slavery, abuse, and the worst sort of oppression could view life in this way. A century and a half ago, he would have been considered a non-person...and that's what he himself is doing to others now. How can the lesson learned in the bloody tragedy of the Civil War be so easily forgotten?

We take comfort in our God, who is in control, even of the president's heart. Salvation - true salvation - is the only thing that will change our country. I hope the lessons learned in this election spur me on to action and lots of prayer, and that I don't easily forget.
