The World Is Changing Overnight

By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

 

Every American who cares about the future of our magnificent nation needs to read a sobering if not scary article by one of our greatest minds, Newt Gingrich.[2]  Some patriots would argue that we are doomed, and overrun by problems.  And that our fate was sealed by having Comatose Joe Biden as our titular President, even though others were actually making decisions that were effectuated by autopen-signed documents.

All of that is yesterday's news if we don't survive as a nation.  Historians write about the lifespan of nations in antiquity; and some posit that our "time in the sun" has passed.  Others predict global chaos, essentially a new "Dark Ages" in terms of a historical antecedent.  I respectfully submit that nothing is written: our future is not preordained.  Indeed, who would have thought that Donald Trump would be our President again?

The "bottom-line," so I believe, is that God controls our destiny, and gives us the tools (e.g., faith, free will, intelligence, love) to make our dreams come true.[3]  If we give up, we are doomed.  Clearly, the tasks before us are enormous.  There are intense divisions that are dividing us, both domestically and globally, which appear to be morphing into chaos.  Some shudder to think what the next 12-to-18 months have in store for us.
