Storm? Where?

It’s election night 2024, and the votes are coming in. In the past, I was very tense on election nights. Tonight I just feel stuck.

I have been through lots of hurricanes, and one thing I’ve noticed is that during the few days before a storm hits, the sky seems grey, everything seems still, and there is a sense that nothing is happening in the world, as though we were all waiting quietly for a big, unpleasant event. Today has felt this way.

I didn’t feel like doing anything. I should have done some work on the tractor. Instead, I sat around watching Youtube and eating leftover takeout food.

I am waiting for whatever is going to happen, to happen. And be over.

If Harris wins, I will not be distraught. Maybe it’s because I already know the world is lost. A Harris victory would be more about the scheduling than the trajectory. Things will be moved up 4 years.

It’s astonishing to me that half of America could want to vote for such a stupid, transparently dishonest, empty, incompetent woman, or for her disgusting polcies, but I have to admit: this is who we are. Our national character has deteriorated, so presidents like Biden and Harris are starting to be what we should expect. A Dwight Eisenhower or a Ronald Reagan would be too good for us.

Many of us are voting for the woman who filled the country with illegal aliens. That, alone, is proof we are on the verge of becoming incompetent to govern ourselves. Who’s next? Kim Kardashian? Charlie Sheen? Rupaul?

If Trump wins, great, but we have to take notice of the fact that a country that will give half its votes to Kamala Harris is washed up.

Incidentally, I have the Fox News Youtube channel on, and it’s really funny to see a presidential candidate represented by a little photo almost identical to his mugshot.

Speaking of distractions, I just noticed that AP has Virginia leaning red. That’s really something. If Trump gets AP, Kamala will be working at McDonald’s again in January.

Remaining calm after a Harris victory would be proof of the Holy Spirit’s intervention in me. I could not do it alone.

Back when Trump was elected, I said I felt God was giving us 4 years of delay so we could get ready for the apocalypse. Then Biden came along and pushed us closer to the abyss. Maybe we’re getting another 4 years.

We have to learn that God, not the government, is our provider and protector. The Bible says God is our refuge and our strong fortress, over and over. It says the righteous run into him and are safe. I feel as though God has made this knowledge part of me, and that’s why I’m not anxious. I would hate to see Kamala Harris win, but I have learned that as long as I pray in the Spirit and spend enough time with God, everything will be fine regardless of what happens around me.

This is how you get favor.

Psalm 91 explains how favor affects you in bad times. A thousand will fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. You will only witness the reward of the wicked–the people who aren’t part of God’s family–with your eyes.

Most Christians don’t know these things. They haven’t spent time praying in the Spirit, and they have not received revelation. It’s not enough to know things are true because you read the in the Bible. You have to have God enter into you and make them part of you.

I’m very glad God has gotten me to this point. I don’t know anyone else who has made it this far, except maybe my wife.

Anyway, I will see if I can get the wife to sit down to pray, and I guess I’ll turn off the news and get ready for bed.
