Atrocious timing......

    Most of my life I have been happy.  I think partially
because of my complete un-involvement with politics.
Oh sure I voted .. campaigned for a couple of local
politicians that I felt deserved my support and even
marched and protested in DC a couple times when I
felt we weren't getting a fair shake.  But I can't ever
remember actually following a Presidential election
from start to finish like I have this year.  My mistake!
  Please tell me this year is an exception and not the rule.
I can not believe what my eyes and ears have witnessed
over the past few months.  Total chaos!  I wish I could
say one side is to blame but there is more than enough
blame to go around.  One side astounds me with moral
and unconstitutional issues and the other is a circus
complete with a Ringmaster extraordinaire.  But enough
already. Everybody has seen this and there is no sense
harping on it .  On to the reason for the post.
   Fear.  For the first time ever I laid awake last night
thinking about what this country has in store for us.
and I have to admit, it scares me.  Maybe I've been
watching too many doomsday videos or dwelling too
much on survival situations lately but I can really start
to see hints of trouble.  It's not too much of a stretch to
envision a government shutdown.  Not likely I'm sure
but with a possible party split and a complete refusal
to work together where does that put the people of this
great country.  Hell we can't handle a civil rights problem
without half or the country plunging into looting and
destruction.  And how would the world look upon us
in a time of government turmoil?  I'm guessing they
would see us as pretty vulnerable.  The sad part is
there is nothing we as individuals can do except  watch
the train gather speed as it heads toward the wreck.  I
do hope I'm wrong, no.. I pray that I am wrong.  I pray
that these so-called *leaders* we have chosen can come
to their senses and look at the big picture before it is too
late.
     Every day I am bombarded with posts on the social
media from both sides and I sooooo want to explain to
these people the damage they are doing by stirring this
boiling cauldron but I know that would just add to the
problem so I sit quietly and pray.  It gets harder every
day, but at least I get the satisfaction of knowing that
the *leader* that I'm praying to knows of my concerns
and has the power to rectify the situation if it is to be.
I place my faith in him for I know he has a plan much
greater than either party .........................
