Election Season

The party conventions have been now been gaveled to a close. The race and the political rhetoric are about to take on new dimensions as we travel the road to November. (That road is a WIDE road, I thought I should mention that!)

I am finding value in taking the back roads as much as possible. Those roads are narrow, and strewn with frequent stops. The effort is greater since the way is not always well signed. While moving slower on these narrow paths there seems to be a friendlier collection of travelers. Folks who will smile and wave as you drive by. Yesterday, a fellow actually slowed down when he saw my turn-blinker so that I could move over. You don't find that much, out there, on the Big WIDE Road.

The towns I drive through, on the narrow highway, actually have a palpable pulse. Life lives and flows right there in front of your eyes. The pace is just fast enough to validate motion, while slow enough that one can appreciate the beauty of the caring spirit and evidence of the hand of GOD.

It is remarkable how much quieter it is, traveling the more difficult route. The TRUTH is easily heard above the noise. Not hidden in the clatter of the dollar, the Mighty God of the Interstate Highway.

We really need to pray and pray hard and long that repentance will come to those who will be selected, then elected, and finally anointed into leadership of this gasping land of ours. Gasping because she has been sorely wounded by the crass, the crude, the lewd and the vulgar. Our Lord is at the door. The time is quickly drawing nigh.

Tell your story, tell it often. Tell it to all who will hear. Tell them the TRUTH. Be a part of the harvest not the chaff. Some will listen, most will not. Share the WORD, then move on. They will either hear or they will not. The rest is up to Jesus.

(Act 28:26-27) …..GO TO THIS PEOPLE AND SAY, YOU WILL KEEP ON HEARING, BUT WILL NOT UNDERSTAND; AND YOU WILL KEEP ON SEEING, BUT WILL NOT PERCEIVE; FOR THE HEART OF THIS PEOPLE HAS BECOME DULL, AND WITH THEIR EARS THEY SCARCELY HEAR, AND THEY HAVE CLOSED THEIR EYES; OTHERWISE THEY MIGHT SEE WITH THEIR EYES, AND HEAR WITH THEIR EARS, AND UNDERSTAND WITH THEIR HEART AND RETURN, AND I WOULD HEAL THEM.

Share the TRUTH, share the LOVE. The clock is ticking!
