Political Rant... Again...

This is truly a rant...
I'm getting super sick of hearing that I've settled for "the lesser of two evils" and that is ridiculous to say the least... Trump is not evil. He has said some awful things... Yes. But he has apologized for them!
Was David "evil" b/c he had a man killed after sleeping with the mans wife? No... Was what he did evil? Yes.
Was Abraham evil cuz twice he lied about his wife being only his sister...to save his own butt... No, but was what he did wrong? Absolutely. I can point to a million times in the Bible where someone did something that was evil or wrong, but it was not their nature to be evil!
Same goes for Trump... He has done some awful stuff... But if you dig into my past you will find crap. If you dig into my heart, you will find more. Does that mean I'm an evil person? No! (Saved by GRACE)

Lets contrast this with the "other evil"... Time and again, and again, and again it has been proven that Hillary has an agenda... To do Evil! That is what I would call Evil... Purposefully corrupt, repeated offenses, and unrepentant at what she has done... This is what her nature has proven to be. Proven.

2nd part of the rant... Voting 3rd party... I believe it is good to stand up for what you believe in. And I believe that Donald Trump will do so much good for this nation and for the unborn babies, the middle and low class, the business owners... And by voting 3rd party, and "making your statement" you will increase the chances of allowing Hillary to get into office and TAKE AWAY THOSE RIGHTS.... come on people... Do you not see this?!!! By exercising your right to "free speech" to not vote for a man who has promised to appoint PRO-LIFE people and Judges that will HONOR THE 2ND AMENDMENT.... You are taking us scarily close to voting a woman into office that will TAKE AWAY THOSE RIGHTS! She plans to appoint pro-choice (i.e. pro-death) judges, and your precious FREE SPEECH will also be in jeopardy... How do you not see the seriousness of the situation?!!!

I'm vexed in my soul! It's like you are too scared or too blind to see that real change... Good change could happen! To the generations older than me, I say... Vote for change! What you have been voting for throughout your life... Has not been working well! Look at the debt we (my generation) have been handed! To the generation younger than me... I say... Get off your butt and get involved! You do not realize, (probably because you were not properly taught)... That we are at a cross-roads... The USA is in danger. I was born here, raised here, and I unashamedly LOVE THE USA!

God has not given us a spirit of fear... Let's fight for our nation and our freedom! Trump has been traveling and is listening to the people! Isn't that what the president is supposed to do?! Listen to the people! He is not trying to dictate... He is saying what we are saying! We need a strong person to carry out what we the people are saying!

Election Time!...Why can't we just get along??

The short answer to this question... we are sinners.

I know that I have many Christian friends who want to avoid "the politics" for "fear of losing friends"... But do we use this same method when talking about Christ?  Aren't we (speaking to my Christian friends) put here to be a light?! To spread the Word of God?  I believe that is our highest priority!...

That being said... I believe God uses many people and many ways to do this! The missionary who goes... that is awesome... but I believe that often times, the ones who send them get forgotten!  Who do you think God uses to fund you??!!  I will answer that question... Business owners!! (yes, I know God can get money from trees if he wanted too... but the method I'm describing is usually how it happens these days... so bear with me and don't get side-tracked...)

To be more specific... Christian Business Owners!!  How do I know this? I'm married to one! And not only am I married to one, I know that he has friends of the same... I have seen my husband give... when I (yes, lacking faith) would not have given... I have seen him give Big, and give Often... I do not say this to bring attention to our business... or even to praise my husband... I say this to make a point...

Business owners... we are struggling!  This economy in the USA is hurting and I believe that is the only reason Trump is running.  Trump gets business... Trump loves people....

Trump... (ugg you think... why you gotta bring him up? I just wanna ignore and hopefully they will all go away...) Sorry folks... but I gotta rant just slightly... I cancelled my 12 year old subscription to World Magazine... I was so frustrated by a huge cover story comparing Trump to Bill Clinton... Clinton has been *PROVEN* to abuse and take advantage of woman... Trump *TALKED CRUDELY in private* and has apologized for it... Hillary has been *PROVEN* to break the law concerning her e-mails, not to mention when she allowed our men to die in Benghazi... but where, on World Magazine did they plaster her face and call for her to GO TO JAIL OR STEP DOWN?!!! (end rant...for now)

Fellow Christians... I too like to avoid conflict... but I (for the first time really) am passionate about this election!  Businesses like ours will NOT THRIVE under a Clinton administration! We *might* (my personal opinion is that we will not) survive... but to quote a song I love "we were made to more than just survive... we were made to THRIVE (Casting Crowns)"  I believe this carries into all of life. God did not call us to be weak or wimps... but to be leaders and helpers. (Ephesians 6:10-18)

We employ people... as do so many other small business owners.... Help us save our businesses!
Vote Trump on November 8th!

*If I have offended you (i.e. hurt your feelings) with anything said here... I've come to realize... I'm ok with that... I care more about my children's future, then hurting feelings or skirting around what I believe to be truth. (by all means... if I have said something terribly un-biblical, I always encourage others to call me out on it!... I'm strong enough to take it and *I pray* humble enough to apologize)

I challenge you, STAND UP for what YOU believe is Truth!

God Bless the USA!

Attaining Peace & Joy...?

As soon as the summer is over and fall starts I can feel my entire being... Begin to grouch. I hate being cold, bundling up, cold rain, wind, school, dreary days! So I keep asking myself... How do I find joy when the weather gives me the blues?
Yes... I choose Joy! But I don't feel joy. Is there a way to truly experience joy even when one doesn't feel like it?
