This is why many religious people voted for the EX-president.
In spite of what the news calls immorality and lying, they voted for him.
They wanted someone on their side, to appoint people that would reflect their views, to turn the tide against secular views of morality.
The problem though is that not everyone believes the way a conservative Christian does. We are a nation of many faiths, ethnic groups and viewpoints.Only 30% of our people wanted this decision.
I recently heard a pastor put it this way: We now have two different views of what Christianity is. One says our views are important, and you need to adhere to them too. The other says I have faith, I’m a Christian, but I don’t have the right to control you’re body. And I shouldn’t.
And if you want to adhere to the view of what our founding fathers thought, think again. Many were deists. I’ll let you look that up. Then of course there was slavery.
Normally the Supreme Court goes through a series of opinions and negotiates an outcome. That didn’t happen this time. Extremists on the court pushed the decision through simply because they had the raw power to do so. What does this remind you of? Democracy? No.
I’m hoping that in the future we as a people will make better decisions reflecting who we are, not who we were a hundred years ago. By this I mean not only in elections, but in the way our government is structured. That we can fix the parts that are broken.
That raw power will be limited, and radicalism will not be allowed to destroy us.
We all go through tough situations, all of us. Sometimes though the wounds become just too much.
I’m there now. My wife is ok, although she’s still getting treatments. I won’t go into details, but I am in need of healing. I’ve always been open and honest, so there it is.
The poet needs healing.
It may be days, or weeks, I don’t know. I may share some previous work until then.
If you ever get a message saying this is a private site it just means the break will be extensive.
I have two sources I go to for internal healing: nature and love. Yes of course there is God and faith but for me that is the love part.
I’m convinced God doesn’t have an AR-15.
And there’s my wife. She’s my best friend in the whole world.
So thank you for understanding, maybe the internal healing will come much sooner than I know. One can hope.
