Dear editor:
I admire those who trust God enough to not be worriers.
I sat at the medical clinic the other morning and watched people coming and going, most in horrible physical conditions. I thanked God for my health.
Then I got home and listened to the uproar by some of our people over terrorists being scared into thinking they were going to drown, the same people who have been silent over our Secretary of State Hillary Clinton refusing security for our Americans at Benghazi, resulting in our of them being brutally murdered -- by terrorists! And I worry.
I heard this morning that California wants to do away with celebrating Washington and Lincoln's birthdays, replacing it with May Day, a communist holiday! And I worry.
POTUS Barack Hussein Obama exchanged five terrorists for a U.S. deserter soldier, Bowe Bergdahl, then honored the traitor's parents at the White House and got away with it. President Donald Trump was able to gain the release of three Americans held in North Korea and received criticism. And I worry.
If one U.S. political party has their way, we will become a socialist, then communist (one produces the other) country. And I worry.
One political party thinks it is cruel to get rough with terrorists, but defend with all their might the right of a mother to allow a "doctor" to kill her unborn child and discard it like garbage. And I worry.
We have Maxine Waters, multimillionaire, living in a multimillion dollar mansion, pretending that her heart bleeds for poor black people. She gets away with that hypocrisy! And I worry.
We have one political party, known liars under oath, conflicted politics, going after President Donald Trump, breaking into people's homes and offices, using crooked illegal shady tactics to operate a yearlong investigation in hopes of overthrowing our president, refusing to turn over material to our Congress, a former secretary of state interfering to try to save a bad deal he made, on and on and on, and seemingly getting away with it all. And I worry.
When one law officer makes a mistake, the entire law enforcement, brave men and women, get stoned and hated, and get away with it, I worry.
Many don't get so involved as I do in all these wrongs. Maybe some do trust God enough to be quiet and wait on Him. If so, God bless them!
God has never, nor ever will, make a mistake. He knows each of us better than we know ourselves. Thank God for His mercies that are new every morning.
God knows I'm a worrier over the things that I see and hear that do not agree with the good traditional American ways of life and that I will probably keep voicing my concerns. And He still loves me, just as He loves those who choose to stay out of the fray. He's the only one who can do this! He loves the quiet ones and, thankfully, He loves the noisy ones like me.
