TGIF

I found out that the former President was convicted yesterday afternoon while I was working on a bunch of other stuff.

I should say “trying” to work on other stuff, because Verizon went down and I couldn’t call who I needed to call or be called by people who needed to call me.

My mom is scheduled to move into a memory care center next week and I was trying to coordinate finding what she would need there, getting it purchased and getting it placed.

I needed to consult with her doctors and with all the senior services agencies involved….and control my own emotions, which are pretty ragged at the moment.

I have to get my own situation squared away…the bookcases arrived at my new home and that’s about all I’ll need….I only need to move my books, my cat, and myself….still, there is much to deal with because much will be left behind.

Eventually, I lost my salvation while dealing with VZW’s “customer service “and threw in the towel as far as my efforts went.

I tell you all this to tell you that Trumps conviction didn’t elicit much of a response from me, as I have far bigger issues to think about.

Bigger in my world…and that’s the place the Lord has called me.

After repenting for offering the last Verizon employee I spoke with a free colonoscopy with my phone, I began to consider the matter that would be a hot topic everywhere…on this site and in my own family as well.

I felt little but more sadness.

Sadness that most people I  know have views about the man that are impervious to debate or reason.

Sadness, because I know that half the country thinks the other half fools and vice versa.

Sadness, because what I think about Trump seems to mean more than what I think about Jesus.

Sadness, because even a fool can see that everything that held our society together is broken…and none of the politicians have an answer to fix anything.

I scan everywhere looking for true leaders…men or women that care about something other than being elected…people with vision and empathy and common sense…there are none to be found.

We do not seem to notice this void…we are blinder than we think.

This void precludes me from being involved in partisan politics or any politics at all…I don’t need one more thing to answer to God for.

God has given us over to what we want and it won’t be long before, like Israel of old, we are begging Him to save us from ourselves.

What should we do?

Well… I’ll be working on getting the works set before me completed…and hoping for rest before the Lord gives me more to do.

I’ll work on loving my people well and my enemies as much as I can.

I’ll be thankful that I have a place to go and Liam can go with me.

To be concise, I’ll shift my focus from what’s out there to what’s right here.

I think judgment is coming, but today has enough trouble of its own.

I’m going to try to redeem the time.

Liam says I can start by brushing him to the glory of God…now.

So… I will.
