The day that George Herbert Walker Bush left the White House was....politically speaking....the beginning of the end of America as it had always been known....for there was in that election that brought Bill and Hillary Clinton to office a paradigm change....from common sense and reason to personal interests and greed. No I don't put George W. Bush into that category but the dye had been cast.Although Bill Clinton had been reasonably sensible....he and particularly his wife....had opened the floodgates to the 'fundamental change' of Barack Obama....and what we have in Joe Biden and this Democrat Party of today. Donald Trump needed handlers....who probably steered him away from a few disasters....but they were by an large over time replaced by enablers....who failed him miserably on the whole....for they were totally unable or unwilling to attempt to reign in or even inhibit his serious psychological disorders. Joe Biden on the other hand needs caregivers.
Reagan was far from perfect....but he was so decent....that it was hard not to love him....and we had Margaret Thatcher....to support him on the other side of the pond....and there was John Paul II....but all of that sensibleness is gone.
Donald Trump was judgment on the church....on evangelicalism....and on conservatism....as he destroyed not only his base....but most of his wingmen with his erratic flying. Joe Biden is judgment on the rest. Have you ever noticed how when Kamala Harris was interviewed that she inevitably would break out into laughter....as if she was a Miss America contestant? I don't know that she understands the seriousness of what she has gotten herself into. Joe Biden got what he wanted for longer than Hillary Clinton wanted the same thing....but he won't get to enjoy it.....for we do not live in the same world as we did not that long ago.
As for us....we are in need of pastors....who unlike our legislators....are willing to put their job in jeopardy....and who unlike our former president....are not concerned over their own success....and individually....we need to be unlike those who went to the voting booth....(figuratively speaking).....who failed to look inwardly....as to how much we ourselves brought on these great catastrophes....and plead with God....to open our eyes....that we might know how to pray....and what to pray for....all the prayers drenched in humility....and all to bring forth His glory alone.
