Gotta' Get It Together

The nation has a new president-elect.

I’m angry recalling his nasty, mean campaigning.

Forever it seems, he baited President Obama’s ire with unbelievable nonsense questioning his birth certificate.

News conveyed his insult of the father of a Medal of Honor patriot . . . and snarky commentary regarding the dead hero’s mother.   Their young military man sacrificed his life for America, and his never wavering response was to insult them and their culture.

He demeaned women, I think.  He met the negative reaction to reports of his invasive liberties toward women with cavalier disregard for the inappropriate behavior, even piled on more demeaning comment in support of his actions.

To me, he was a shockingly disrespectful, uncouth campaigner.

NOW, he’s the winner of the election process.  

These days I am challenged to forget all of the emotional terror he caused and respect him.  My common sense mentality rankles at this responsibility to do so.

They say he will change; latest interviews give a glimmer he may.  If he doesn’t ease up on a few dire promises, millions will be devastated.  I want to believe he will bring all of us, this world, this planet a better presidency than his campaign rhetoric unrelentingly assured.

Yes, the election is over yet his campaign strategy continues to feed my emotional unrest.  How much was a strategic threat?  

Today I continue to work through ANGRY.   I wait for the latest news born from deliberations led by a powerful celebrity who was marketed, for sure to the masses, as thoughtlessly divisive and self-serving.

It’s another America’s turn to serve this diverse nation. My spiritual undergirding assures God is in charge.   Thus it will be good – painful perhaps, but good.
