There's been a lot of weeping and gnashing of teeth with the election this year. Mostly I hear claims that America is over as we know it, that this great country is doomed to damnation, and that all that made this country good and worthy to be called America will now cease to exist.
I just have a question. This "America" they are speaking of, this country that is spoken of with such reverence and such mourning, when did it exist?
Was it when it stole the land from the natives and sent them to their death?
Or when it claimed slaves for itself based on skin color and heritage?
Or was it when you had to be a white man to have rights?
Or was it during times of war?
Or in any other period in there where this perfect America that we are now losing must have existed?
When and where is this America?
All I'm saying is, we are broken. This nation is broken. This world is broken. To think it ever has been or ever will be anything but broken is simply an illusion.
Put your hope not in man and his promises, but in Christ Jesus and His kingdom.

- It's interesting to look at your life, past to present, and think: "It has all led up to this...." And then wonder where it will lead to next.
