So, What Now?

I will admit that I truly fear the Obamanomics of the next four years...but, it is what it is. McCain lost, and we now have a new president, and we need to make the best of it. If you were for Obama, congrats... Time will tell.

So, what next? Let's get back to work. Let's get back to buying and selling, and living, and loving. This is America, and whether we like the president or not is irrelevant. We are Americans and we agree to disagree and move on. We get back to business and go after our goals. There is no room for hatred, angst, or regret. We should pray for our leaders, hope the very best for them, and then, keep an eye on them.

I will say this for all to see: I will admit I was wrong if Obama does a good job. I will watch his administration, pray for him and all of his staff, and hope that he implements good ideas and sound policies. And, after all is said and done, if we prosper, and taxes do not go up, I will admit that I was wrong. I will begin trying to see the "center" a bit more clearly, and seek to understand.

The following has nothing to do with real estate....

I will also say this regarding the social issues of Homosexual rights and abortion - he is dead wrong. I have no problem with any person living they way they want to within the law. If someone chooses to pursue relationships with the same sex, that is their decision. But I do not have to agree that it is normal, or equal to the way we were design to relate sexually. Homosexuality is a deviate choice just as much as pedophilia and adultery, and alcoholism... it is a choice that a person makes, and it is a deviate choice. And they will face God someday... that is their choice. If someone were to ask me my opinion, I will express it. But I also know some homosexuals and I get along fine with them and I care about them. It is not my place to pass judgment. I am called to love all people, and pray for them, and be available to tell them about Jesus, if the opportunity arises.

As For abortion - that is dead wrong - literally. Life begins at conception. It is not arguable.

The reason I bring this up is because I really do not think that you can simply separate social issues from economic ones. If we believe the Old Testament, and I do, we see that God judged His people when they turned from Him. He allowed ungodly leaders to take His Chosen People into captivity and be destroyed - the good with the bad... Some were spared, but many people suffered incredibly. America has been very prosperous, and I believe that we have decided as a whole that we do not need God butting into our business. It is possible that Obama is part of the judgment... we may suffer greatly due to our rejection of holiness and righteousness. Prosperity has made us selfish and arrogant.

Well.. that is enough ranting... I really hope I am wrong, and I hope Obama makes right decisions and the country is blessed. Either way, I am going back to work, and I will keep praying for prosperity AND righteousness. I hope you will all join me in that task.
