I am going to pollute my dear friends blog today with a slightly political post. Please, don't stop reading simply because you read the word politics.
I am annoyed with the people of America. Not because of who won the presidential election. I am mad because all of those people who are now currently complaining and whining about the evil that will face America in the next four years believed their vote had power. They believed their voice could make change. Now suddenly, they have reverted back to believing the President holds the key to how a culture lives. If a voice can truly make a difference, why don't you take it one step further and believe an action can make a difference?
I don't mean go protest at abortion clinics, using your voice to sound your irritation and anger. I mean, go live with the people who need hope. Find individuals who feel lost, stuck, lonely, and hurt. Love them. Take all of your energy you seem willing to pour into facebook posts, picket signs, and soapbox preaching... now use your energy for that Truth you keep saying you believe in. Stop waiting for our country to do what you think best and start being the difference you want to see.
The President, Congress, or any government official does not determine what you choose to do with your every breath. Stop using your breath to disrespect others and to spread fear. Start using it to fill your lungs with fresh air as you take a step off that fence of apathy, anger, and self-indulgence.
