I miss Ohio. I miss the diverse unity of World Harvest Church. I miss all my black friends. I miss the conversations we used to have about how fortunate we were there in that place-the fact that we could sit as diverse people and have the conversations that we were having. About blackness and whiteness and sometimes the non existince of any of it. We thought we were the great generation that would seek His face. One nation truly under God. We were joyful that we had found a place called in His presence where everyone is equal. We were all working towards this one goal-we were all there for one goal. I was not "racist" if I acknowledged someone was a differant race-in fact most of us never even did acknowledge it because for most of us it didnt matter. Who cared? There is no Jew nor Gentile -only children of God who are bought by the blood of His Son.

    I am not feeling that unity anymore. Maybe its the distance-maybe it is the fallen world creeping into our souls. Maybe its the freaking election that has hightened the tension between everything that is human and everything that is spiritual. I just know it  hurts. I would have thought everyone would be on the same side for the same reasons-but I have found that I cant make the same arguments to all my friends because for the first time race has become an issue. I am like what tha? And it doesnt follow up with "Behold..." I was concerned during the primaries because I had heard black friends voice interest in Obama for the soul reason that he was black. I had many women friends who would have voted for Hillary just because she was a woman. This is not right. If women and men are equal then we should for them because of what they offer and the position they offer it in.

    I found a site that had many videos of prominant Christian black people who were quoting Martin Luther King jr. and they were saying that as much as they wanted to see a black American in the White House...it was NOT this time. They were saying essentialy that people were taking MLK jr. out of text and that he would not have backed or supported most black leaders today...I used to would have posted that video-not so much right now-I am white after all. I dont think Susan B. Anthony would back Hillary  either.
   We are people and we are swayed and we have dreams-all of us. It is said that most people "like" a candidate and so they alter their own standpoints to match that of their candidate if that candidate stands with them on at least ONE issue of importance to them. I have seen that happen this year. It concerns me and I have tried to tell people and sound the alarm, but it is like everyone has looked at what they believe and thrown it out the window. I could make the argument that Obama is not just black-he is also white and very much arab-but then thats a whole other can of accusations that I just dont want to open myself up to.

   I learned about the beginning of abortion and how it was originally created for population control over the african american race. We all learned that. We also learned about the spiritual backlash from abortion. The spiritual link between abortion and slavery even. We are going to pay for it-all of us. Men ,women,hispanic ,black and white.

    I think young women felt pressured to vote for Hillary and young people feel pressured to vote for Obama-if you say that you are not voting for Obama down here in the south people naturally assume that you are racist. People in Ohio would be surprised ny the number of middle aged white people I know who are voting Obama. I just want to say again-here in the middle of the post:
  A.Universal healthcare-Hawaii is the only state to implement it and after 18 months are already stopping it because their people have STOPPED paying for healthcare that they could afford so they could get the free healthcare-thus there are overall social/economic problems stemming.

 B. The economic plan would cause small business to STOP growing-you would have to stay in the exact same spot in your business all the time-and God forbid you ever finally acheive what you want in life because then your taxes will be raised.

C. The Freedom  of Choice Act  is a PRO ABORTION act. It is celebrated by NARAL and Planned Parenthood-both of who DO pressure women to have abortions-Obama who is not a woman does not know that.

D. Partial Birth Abortion is abortion while the baby is halfway delivered-the woman is not in danger ever ever ever in this situation. Any one who has ever voted on anyrhing having to do with PBA knows what it entails-any one who could oppose a ban on PBA  I wonder about seriuosly.

E. Abortion was not voted in by the people in America it was handed to us by the Supreme Court and it was unconstitutional at the time but has since been accepted as "constitutional" .

F. All of the above has roots in socialism and outcomes in communism-compare to any other nation in history and see what political regime took over.

 

   It bothers me that this cannot be discussed anymore. All anybody ralks bout is "race" or the economy. So in reality the cards really are being played-I am not at that table though. I am poor-my family has been in poverty most of my life-that was even under the ever so over popularised Bill Clinton. We have always been happy. My father has always been active and has worked. We have been free and I am proud that I have lived in America and she doesnt owe me anything. I am tired of people saying we live in a hell hole. I am tired of people comparing us to other more "progressive" countries. I am sick of it. I was sickened by the "Citizen of the World" speech and I do believe I must be the only one who heard it. Consider the history of the region in which it was told-alot more could have been said in favor of America just given that. I am  white and I am a woman-and I am mid twenties. I am tired of women acting like Palin is an alien because she is pro life. If you are pro choice then where is the "choice" to have life? Palin speaks for me. She speaks for my mother who has two special-needs children. She speaks for the protection of Isreal. (I hold her view on this as well). She is a well rounded woman-no one would know this if they didnt look for it themselves though. The modern feminism agenda that left its roots over thirty years ago doesnt want a "woman' in the white house-they just want their agenda spread. Just like the liberal left is pushing a socialism agenda on the middle class-believe me they dont care about us.

    A good friend evangelist of ours prophecied when I was around ten years old that race riots were coming to America. He said it was a planned chaos-for fulfilling a political agenda. This was years ago-lets estimate 16-17 years ago. He has said it again. I can see this happening wether Obama is elected or not. For some it may be genuine hatred of the other race-but I believe for many it will be  a propagated situation. The stirring has already begun of ancient resentment and embitterment-even among my brothers and sisters.

   I propose that we as Christian people stop looking for a man to be our source-even in the economic crisis-it could be manufactured as well. We have got to be the body again and stand for what we know is truth-stop sounding like the rest of the world. Stop believing that just because we are America that crisis will never come here. Christians have been murdered in other countries. We ar enot Gods cosmic pet just because we are America. I hate to say it but we will get it here as well-and very soon if we do not humble ourselves and pray for forgiveness and pray that our nation repent. Jesus will return but dont bleieve that we wont suffer before he does. Remember in Sudan Christians are killed daily and dismemebered by radical islamic facism. Those Christians are no differant then us just because they live "over there".

   I beg that we unite in our prayer lives and stop looking at this election through secular eyes,otherwise we will still be divided when the election is over.
