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.
Reflections on the Trump Triumph
I first voted for president in 1972–for Richard Nixon. If I’d been eligible in 1960, I would have voted for JFK over Nixon due to his vision and policies (despite his infidelities).
God nudged me to write a book on the 1976 election. Shirley and I cried when Ronald Reagan lost in the primary. We rejoiced four years later when Reagan launched a revolution called “Morning in America.” We were in the crowd near the Capitol Building when he was sworn in on January 20, 1981.
In ten subsequent national elections we voted, prayed, dealt with angst, and felt encouragement in various years. Elections can be like yo-yos (do they still use that name?), but remain amazing tools of free governments to make minor or major societal course corrections.
The day after the Trump Red Wave, here are my reflections on the historic 2024 race.
I Have a Simple Question
Bill O’Reilly of the No Spin News is one of my go-to news commentators. He calls himself a simple man. He likes to articulate simple questions when trying to arrive at the truth.
I’m a simple man too when seeking truth. For me, that means that the 2024 presidential race comes down to a very simple question: Which candidate, Vice President Harris or former President Donald Trump, will point America back to God?
Your answer to that question should determine your vote.
