We've Got Some Difficult Days Ahead

 We've got some difficult days ahead. Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. 

These six words have been reverberating in my head for a couple of weeks now. We've got some

difficult days ahead. Are you sensing this as well? Can you feel it. In 46 days, we will cast our ballots for whom we choose to be Commander In Chief. It daunting. For most of us, we're experiencing at least one of the following emotions: fear, anger, confusion, bewilderment and resignation. Let's tackle these emotions. I'll be interested to hear, in the comments, which category you find yourself in.

First, there's FEAR. Fear that the current occupant of the Oval will succeed in all his nefarious activities. He has ramped up voter suppression like we've not seen since the 60s. He has handicapped the

United States Postal Service almost to the point of impotency. Can you imagine the long lines ahead? Gathering spots for large transmissions of this virus the country is stuck in.  The mounds of mail-in ballot requests and the ballots themselves just sitting around waiting to be sorted, which will be slowed to a snail's pace, as sorting machines have been broken down and placed in various storage facilities across the country. These scenarios add to the fear of many, whom want to participate in this American institution, but even the positive thought of ridding the country of Covid-45, does little to allay the fear of going to the polls or being concerned your vote may not make it to it's destination on time. There’s also the fear of the reaction of his supporters if he loses, or on the left if he wins. I can 

envision racial and civil unrest like America has not seen in 60 years. 

Next, there's Anger. Anger that so much has been thrown in the mix to make voting far more difficult. Anger that we have a POTUS that cares not for the populace, and would rather, due to his irrational fear of the election being stolen from him, have people stand out en masse to cast a ballot. But of course, what else can one expect from a man who really doesn't care for anyone but himself, and to stay out of the clutches of the Southern District of New York.

Which brings us to Confusion. Many, even at this late date are confused. Double-minded for my Christian friends. 45 has the most confused supporters on the planet. Some don't like his tweeting, nor they way he bullies his opponents, but they like the things he does. They have confused healthy 401Ks and tax loop holds, with affection for him. I am thoroughly convinced, they know better, but they don't care as long as their bottom line remains in the black. Then for his less moneyed supporters, as long as he's putting down immigrants, Black people and BLM by extension, the so-called Antifa, backing the anti-mask movement, trashing athletes who kneel during sports events and generally just holding up his white supremist ways, he's their boy. One more sect of voting age Americans who fit into this group are the undecideds. People who don’t like him, but don’t know which way to go.To vote. Which leads the rest of us to....

Bewilderment. Most of us, from conversations I've had with many of you, cannot fathom the confused ones. How in the world can you support such a nasty, lying, misogynistic, racist being at the helm of this ship called America? They hear the news just as we do. Even Fox news has been calling out his deceptions as of late! He probably lies more than he blinks in a day. His own niece says he pathological.

How many times have you asked yourself how he keeps such a strong hold on his minions??? Some of his adherents know good and well he's mentally unstable and do nothing. The others of his followers are as deranged as he is. How does that happen? Or bewildered that some seemingly intelligent people are willing to vote 3rd party, when they KNOW their candidate has the chance of the proverbial snowball in hell. Standing on their lofty principals while the fiddler is on the roof.

Lastly, Resignation. The quiet acceptance, that this man just may retain his position. I know, it's the stuff nightmares are made of. Understanding that some would rather once again, sit out an election that is tantamount to the survival of these yet to be united states, and there's nothing you can do to alter their opinion. Understanding that some will vote 3rd party and totally insure 45 is returned to his real life reality show. Understanding the 45 probably has far more support than we imagine, keeping in mind that there are those who

follow him who'd prefer not to have that fact broadcast. They could be our neighbors, family members, professional associates, teachers, doctors and the list goes on. His invisible army. THE POLLS WERE WRONG BEFORE!

At this point, all we can do is PRAY AND VOTE. VOTE AND PRAY. We must do what's ours to do and leave the rest to the Great I AM. Because one thing I know, from the outhouse to the White House, God is still on the throne and in control.
