It was a grave mistake to give unlimited power to a man the Bible has shown us to be a fool.  Read the Books of Wisdom, Proverbs, Sirach and Ecclesiastes.  We are are officially out of our minds.  We now have a pseudo-king with ways that directly contradict those of Christ.  To my fellow Christians, Jewish friends and all who believe in our Lord's just ways I ask:  How could we have voted this man in?!?  Everything he stands for legitimizes self interest over all else!!! We knew going in that our United States had been perfectly divided by the end of his first term, but now it's so thoroughly corrupted that even the integrity of our justice system has been compromised.  Indeed, nearly every noble principle that once made our country great has now been compromised in some way.  Yet, an entire political party still adamantly caters to his every whim and defends everything he says and does no matter how reprehensible.

I deny this reality.  God must be so saddened by our nation's adamant rejection of His ways by choosing this leader!  I didn't know if I'd wake up after our 2024 election!  Surely He'd wipe us out!  But no, He still loves us!!!  It's absolutely incredible!  To others like me who are hopeful for the next life, yet despairing at the loss of all sanity in this one please remember what we've been told:

"Happy those servants whom the master finds awake when he comes."

Prepare now!  Deny yourself and simplify.  Fast if you can.  Confess past transgressions and atone for them.  Pray to be delivered from evil as in the Lord's prayer.

To Ukraine - my heartfelt prayers are with you.  Your cause is so obviously just that any nation denying you aid must be considered a force of darkness.  That includes my own country.  May the Lord be close to you.

Lord, I surrender my life to you.  This is no longer a world I want to be a part of, yet your will be done.
