For those of you who read my daily blog you know that I have been involved in recent months in a major local effort to retain our rural heritage in my "neck of the woods" in North Florida. It has been a rough and tumble effort so far but it has yielded some positive results that give us great hope for the future.
While that is our primary goal, there have been some unexpected consequences that are truly joyous and they have shown me that my God truly works in mysterious ways. When I decided to get involved, I knew that a large number of the people involved had political views highly divergent from my own, but I also knew that on this one particular concern, which is critical in my life for the foreseeable future, it was important for me to get involved.
As we got underway in earnest, I found that not only were there a number of people who shared my views, but I also found out that as a group we all had much more in common than I could have imagined had I not gotten involved. And it made me think about life in general and what God has in store for me. I truly believe that the opportunity came from Him and it was provided to give me a chance to understand others with diverse views and to also help them to understand me. This is healthy and so necessary today when we find ourselves fighting amongst ourselves to all of our detriment.
The corporate crony capitalists and their lobbyists, working together with self-centered career politicians of all stripes, work hard to keep we, the people divided and at each others throats. It serves their purpose well as they continue to push forward on things that really provide nothing for us except to put us under more exacting control by those who think they know better. And seeing first hand how when we get together and unify on those issues which are critical to us we are able to exert great power, power which is infectious and grows dramatically in strength. The elite political class and their allies are petrified of this and that's why they fight so hard to ridicule and belittle groups like ours with the help of their media friends.
So I have to thank God for leading me in this direction for I know there is a reason why everything happens. He knows and he just wants us to find out what it is by what we do. And I also want to thank all of my new friends, some of whom I have worked with personally, others who are those that I have "talked" to only through our social media contacts. I know from our writings that we are in sync on this and probably so much more. Let's just keep the positive energy flowing and I think we will all see the purpose and value of our new found community.
Whether you are a believer or not and are involved in this effort with me, I want to say God bless you and thanks for all you do. Have a great week and let's keep the momentum moving forward.
