"For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek." ~ Romans 1:16

Good morning and welcome. Today is Thursday, January 21, 2021, and I am thankful to be reporting from my location to yours via this blogging utility. We continue to receive new reports each day regarding folks who are having to deal directly with the Coronavirus themselves or someone in their family circle. I do hope the new administration will aggressively pursue ways to mediate the serious impact associated with this pandemic. What should have been done, could have been done, was done, and all the rest becomes somewhat of a moot point as actions must be taken moving forward. I well remember how that four years ago when Donald Trump became president how those from the liberal world felt about his becoming the leader of the free world. Now the roles are reversed. Many who see things through the lens of traditional values made comments about those unhappy needed to suck it up, remember they are Americans first, and, if they don't like the country then maybe they should consider leaving. We are now seeing the exact same kinds of responses from the leftist winners. Some of them have gone as far as to say those who voted for Trump don't deserve to live in this country. The conservative folks are crying foul, but, I remember when they said some similar things. I am not pleased with the results from this most recent election, but, God, has allowed those in power to rise to their positions.

I find it interesting to read the comments of folks who were raised up in the same world I was. Some of them now say the four-year national nightmare has come to an end and a new wave of enlightenment has come. I can't help but wonder what happened in their lives for them to form these views. However, they are, in America, entitled to have them. People of faith need to be reminded of the ultimate power and how our lives must reflect God's will as we relate to those who differ in their worldviews. When we demonstrate the love of God and the power of the Gospel, hearts, and minds can be changed. Not to get our political views but rather to see the lives of men, women, boys, and girls changed for time and eternity. Amen. .....More later.
