Hi all,
I was listening to some of Biden's talking points. I have to say, that for me, hearing someone speak about our problems in a calm and even monologue, not calling anybody any derogatory names, is such a delight over what we've been listening to for the last 4-5 years. I'm, of course, also counting the time that Donald Trump was on the campaign trail.
Former VP Biden talks like a man who really will appoint and listen to wise advice. His is such a calming voice in the tumultuous sea of rhetoric we've had yelling at us for the last 3+ years. No one is deemed unworthy. I can just picture him sitting down with both Republican and Democrat and being respectful to listen to all sides. Not resorting to making up school yard names like the elementary school bully who steals your lunch money and then taunts you about it. It was just such a delight to listen to that man talk.
Now, does he know everything? Surely not! But will he listen and speak respectfully of others whether he agrees with their position or not? I think so. Will he be able to re-establish the ties with our allies that have been so frayed over all this trade tariff crap? Again, I think so. Will we be able to move back into our position of being respected not for our meanness, but for our ability to help and support the hopes and dreams of other nations as we also work to gain the hopes and dreams of our own.
America has, for at least the last 80 years, been a great nation among the nations. In my opinion, Donald Trump has not made us 'great again' but has done his best to tear down all the foundations that made us great to begin with. Our willingness to help. That it's not about every other nation paying their fair share, but about the greatest nation helping out across the globe with all the other nations that desire to live in peace and security. That as a nation, it isn't the money, it's the care and concern that we show to people, God's created people that are just like each one of us, to make all of the globe a better place to live. It isn't all about America. If that's what patriotism is supposed to mean, then I readily admit that I'm no patriot.
I believe that fathers and mothers all across the globe are striving to work to provide for and support their families. Chinese people want to work for the same reasons that American people want to work and we don't need to work to deny them that, just because we have some wicked and slanted view of the world that everything in it has to revolve around the United State of America. We're just a nation on the face of the globe along with some 200 other nations. The people in everyone of those other nations share the same hopes and dreams that we do. Greatness comes in helping those less fortunate. Not rubbing their noses in their despair.
May God truly bless America and every other nation on the face of the globe with the proclamation of the gospel of His Son, Jesus. All other nation struggles are secondary to that work. I'm fairly confident that God is only interested in blessing America if America blesses God in all the work that it does as a nation in helping all the people of the earth. I am confident, that God isn't interested in some willful attempt to be a stumbling block to all the other nations.
Let's put a man in charge of our nation who can help us to achieve peace and security through diplomacy and respect. Not some crybaby who can't even use diplomacy and respect for his own people, let alone anyone else.
God bless,
In Christ, ted
