Okay boys and girls... the choice has been made... you have spoken... you have had your moment of negativity or pride... you have ended this day with either sadness or elation... you have practiced the cherished right of freedom laid before you by the choice of those who laid down their lives for you... you have either acted with respect or regret... this is a day of healing or wounding... i choose to be a healer... to move forward... lay aside your words of negativity and praise... we need to get back to love... love for the lost... sad... lonely... homeless... veterans... sick... sore... outcast... unloved... it is also our work to build this country into greatness... not just the one who is sitting in the big chair... there is one winner and one loser... you are all in the field to participate... how you choose to play the game is about you not anyone else... so how will you impress the future with your behavior... will you be a preacher of opinion that cause derision... or will your choice be to bring positive result... will you still stand in your disbelief with jaw dropped and sorrow for your country and what you say is the future... will you with your word and action stand as though you blame others for what you think so a failure... or call it in the name of your children or the future... someone i respect very highly said to me these past days... this world is not going to hell in a hand basket as so many of us use as excuse... we are not with respect to the world situation of only the past in 6 decades... worse off than those of the past generations as our fathers saw of their same fear... if not the more... i lay my head down again this day with praise in my heart and trust in a power that is greater than all the evil of this and days of past... i still choose love... as the greatest of all I know is to love... this i choose...
It is hard waiting for the other shoe to drop... this can apply to so many areas of life... financial security... job security... health... children... family... all of these things are difficult enough in their own way... what is most difficult is waiting for another to twist the knife... we as human are such flawed creatures to begin with... with the three fingers that point back as we call out the failure of others... it is enough just to keep the eyes in the back of the head open wide to protect us from the inevitable... often we know that which is about to happen... yet there are times when we never see it coming... it is not always about doing what is right... it is more often about doing what is necessary that gets us into trouble... and there in lies the rub... we do what we feel to be right to make the wheel turn and others just can't bare the thought of not having control... whether gained or earned... and as the aftermath of what is left behind... the question remains......
