What color is
the sky on your planet?
We could ask
that question of our news media, our political leadership and all the different
factions of society that we have been herded into. The degree of separation seems to be more
than just talking points, more than planetary but could be represented by our solar
systems. This weekend (7/23/1016) will
give us the opportunity to explore those solar systems through the eyes of the
varied inhabitants of them. Unfortunately,
we have managed to squeeze all of those differences into one segment of one
small continent. We are the United
States which at this point is anything but united.
It’s Saturday
morning at my house and time for the weekly news recaps, salted with ideology,
ready to feed my hungry mind. It would
be helpful if there were just the one language where we would be able to
understand all of these inhabitants of the other solar systems. It seems it is more than just a question of
language. What I see and hear is not the same as what you might see or hear.
I don’t
understand the media attack on Mr. Trump’s speech on Thursday night pointing
out much of what my eyes and ears observe in my world was just plain wrong. The solar system of media says his speech was
dark and foreboding. The media stated
his speech offered no hope or promise of a brighter sky or any path of
improvement. Our President and the
Democratic solar systems say that our world may not be perfect but there is no
cause for concern. The media says the
GOP is trying to separate and divide our country and put the GOP on the track
of racial divide. The GOP candidate is a dangerous bigot who will destruct the
entire universe. Their sky is only dark
if our population chooses to elect Donald J. Trump.
What are we
to believe? Are we to believe our own
eyes and ears? Are we to believe that what
we saw and heard is really what the media says they saw and heard? Is reality
and truth really that different in their solar systems? The administration with the megaphone of the
Presidential office would have us believe that the 80% of those watching and
listening to the RNC were all mistaken. The RNC offered no light to our society
according to the media who saw it differently.
How in their solar system can they see rosy and calm and a canoe on a
quiet smooth lake when over 60% of our population sees us heading toward a huge
waterfall? How can they see and hear
darkness, doom and gloom when most of our population saw and heard a positive
and hopeful statement.
I heard a presentation that held out the
truthful and factual realities of where we are right now, today. Our society is under attack and just not by
radical Islamic terrorists. Our common
beliefs, our common language, our pride of country, our economic success and
freedoms have been under attack from both inside and out. Without seeing and recognizing the problem
and the realities, there will be no cure.
The sky in my solar system is gray and cloudy with glimmers of blue and
sunshine. Granted the sky in the RNC
closing was painted with the brush of reality, but it was clear there are
rainbows and clear skies on the Trump horizon.
That is hope!
God Bless the
USA.
Pray for
discernment.
