As the election results come in. People on both sides of the political parties are going to be freaking out. No matter who wins the election they will be upset/angry and challenge the results. Violence and protests could very well break out and innocent lives ruined because "the wrong person won". You can even expect to see calls to abolish the electoral collage. Even though that is what keeps things fair and in balance. It will not be an easy time for days and weeks on end. Sadly this cannot be helped. More so when we are living in a pandemic and people are getting weary of the restrictions and lock downs.
The results don't bother me. As someone who is a bit of a political neutral such things do not change how I feel and will not change how I am conducting my life. Who is president changes nothing with me over all. As a Catholic who is strong in the faith. I will pray for the conversion of hearts for all of our leaders. That they would be guided by the Holy Spirit instead of being driven by the temptations of the world. I will not invest my time in being overly critical. I will include them in my daily Rosary. So in that respect nothing will really change. In fact I will go so far to say that I don't care who you vote for. If your family and friends I will not disown you. I will not treat you with any less compassion. I don't expect people to agree with me and I hope people understand that I may not always agree with them. But that won't change how I feel. For me family is important and that cannot be abandoned.
If their is one change that I will make in all of this. It is the same one that I have been working on. Being even more of an evangelist for Christ in an age where Christ is being attacked and put down. Even worse being minimized by people who claim to be his followers. Seems to be this notion of "separation of church and state" which to me is a fancy buzz term "keep your faith private and out of the public." As a Catholic I cannot do that. I cannot keep my faith in Christ private. We have an obligation to live our faith and we must hold true to that faith. More so now in this current age. I end this post with a verse of wisdom and the best take when it comes to how I will live my faith: Isaiah 62: 1 "For Zion's sake I will not be silent, for Jerusalem's sake I will not be quiet,".
