Sometimes, still surprised by the sheer enormity of it all, I begin to feel a creeping fear. Realistically, I know that I am only one person who is trying to inform a public kept completely in the dark about the corruption in the local and state governments. The public will be disbelieving because we, as Americans, have an inborn, inherent trust in our government; our trust in our elected officials is so strong – almost sacred - that we can hardly comprehend them breaking that trust.
Yes, it can be scary…trying to convince the public that for the good of our government and the perpetuation of its goodness, it (the public) must investigate what I say, and somehow move to stop the corruption now.
It also makes me very sad; my heart was broken when I realized the initial (as I discovered it) corruption and then the actual crimes within the government’s actions in covering up what they had done. It is a most terrible feeling to lose trust in your government. How can a person pledge allegiance to an entity which places so little value on human life, honor and the truth?
“Perfect love casteth out fear.” God is Perfect Love, and when fear falls upon me, He removes that fear and throws it into a big heavenly garbage can. As His child, I will not let fear stop me from purpose.
Purpose is an interesting thing. If you are given a purpose (a mission, a “calling”) it does not matter who you are. You can be young or old, male or female, strong or weak, sick or well, and if your purpose is there, you will see it through. I always thought that by this time in my life, I would be sitting on a porch, the smell of lilacs and roses in the air, and rocking grandbabies.
With the Grace of our Good God, I will see this “purpose” through. And by His Grace, I will soon be rocking grandbabies. Or walking on a sugar beach somewhere. Or curled up with a good book and a cup of hot tea. So many beautiful life-things to enjoy!
But for now, there is only God and purpose.
