A Dark and Cloudy Day

For the first time in weeks this morning, the sky is overcast, the day is rainy and gray.

Many of us feared this day would come. We could see it coming. But we were powerless to stop it.

America elected Donald Trump president last night.

Not since the Civil War days has the country been this divided.

Not since the Israelites wandered the desert searching for the promised land has a people been so misguided and lost.

It could happen I said to many, who simply laughed it off.

Many bought the brain washing corporate main stream media message that both candidates were equally horrible choices -- and didn't vote.

There's the usual talk of unity after an ugly election. That's good, but really that's the least we should expect at this point.

It's going to be up to people to stand for their rights like never before. We must hope and pray for the best.

Of course, that doesn't change the fact that as it stands now, a man who has lived his whole life so far as a ruthless, vindictive bully, is moving into the White House in January.

There's plenty of blame to go around for Trump's victory.

The inexcusable FBI James Comey effect. The cable news channels that gave Trump unlimited free PR.

Republican Voter suppression? And DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz for tripping up Bernie Sanders' candidacy, which was our real hope.

For all the pre election talk about possible election rigging and voter machine hacking vulnerability, the mass media has been remarkably silent on the issue.

Was there foul play? This isn't poor loser talk. It's based on Trump's track record of never playing by the rules.

It' based on his suspect Russian ties and our Intelligence's advance warning that Russia had accessed voter registration roles in numerous states.

Clinton was polling several points ahead. And Trump seemed to come out of nowhere, as usual.

But it can be very difficult to detect whether vote changing malware was used on certain electronic touch screen machines.

Unless there's a serious   investigation, we may never know if voter machine hacking played a role in the Trump upset.

Regardless, this is where faith in an all powerful God comes into play.

My mother would often quote "Hope springs eternal."

Let's reach down deep and keep the faith. Let's keep fighting the good fight.

Scripture tells us that "God can take what the devil means to destroy us with and turn it for our good."

Can I get an Amen?
