Donald Trump and the Heroes of the New American Revolution
We shed a few tears while watching Monday’s inauguration of Donald Trump as the 47th president of the United States. He is only the second chief executive in our history to serve two non-consecutive terms.
The first was Grover Cleveland who led the nation 1885-89 and and 1893-97. Upon leaving the White House the first time, his wife Francis remarked, “We are coming back four years from today.“
She was right–but Cleveland’s second term did not fair well.
There is greater optimism for Donald’s Trump return. He successfully achieved the greatest political comeback in U.S. history against a hostile media and government lawfare against him. It was an amazing accomplishment.
But there are many other heroes behind this new American Revolution.
My View of the World 2025
A new calendar year is upon us, the “Year of our Lord 2025.”
My wife reminded me this morning that it’s hard to believe “Y2K” was 25 years ago. I told her that was because of “OA” (Old Age) with the clock spinning faster than when we were young.
I like to begin each year with my view of the world–what God is doing–and how we can be a part of it. Our lives are never bigger than our vision. What do you see in 2025 for the planet of “God’s visitation” (Earth). What is God up to and how can we join his plans?
Here are my thoughts. I’d love to hear yours.
Giving Thanks for an American Awakening
Though Christmas is upon us, I’m still full of “Thanksgiving” for an American awakening taking place across our land.
I know Kamala Harris received 74 million votes in the past election. The nation is divided. And most elections don’t portend that revival is taking place.
But many thoughtful voices believe a cultural turning is happening in the United States that could become a full-blown awakening (as happened in the 18th and 19th centuries).
Be encouraged–and continue to pray.
