Reflection . . . 45 Days!

Are the next 45 days really about the political battles before us. Or is it really a time of purposeful distinction. purposeful division.

Is it really about Donald Trump -vs- Kamala Harris, or is it really about choosing between good -vs- evil . . .

LUKE 12:51-56

(51) “Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. (52) From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. (53) They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”

(54) He said to the crowd: “When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, ‘It’s going to rain,’ and it does. (55) And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It’s going to be hot,’ and it is. (56) Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky. How is it that you don’t know how to interpret this present time?”

We can all sense it. Even if we turn away to engage in busyness as a distraction, the sense will not subside.

There is a great urgency needed in our communication with our family, friends, loved ones and overall community. Do not negate your righteousness, nor diminish your instinctual value. Do not fear.

Do not fear.

45 days!

Those who speak out are targeted, ridiculed, belittled, alinsky’d and shouted down until they are proved right.

Again and again, and again, and again, we were made to watch, or to endure the crude, bullying tactics of the social playground. Reasoned debate and argument have long since gone over the hill into uncomfortable history.

Now, the next 45 days, we enter one long slugfest, in which the loudest, angriest and most effectively insulting voices will seek to win by volume alone, so often echoed by mainstream media who hold reasoned voices in contempt; apparently preferring to ridicule and diminish rather than provide genuine space for those who had simple questions in need of non-pretending answers.

However, again and again, those shouted down are revealed as having been right all along.

If you are a regular reader of this site, you are generally a person who engages in intellectual discussion on daily events and more than likely a root cause thinker. You do not pretend. Meaning, you are able to grasp events at their cause and not at their consequence.

The challenge for all of us now is . . .
