"REJOICE IN HOPE, BE PATIENT IN TRIBULATION, BE CONSTANT IN PRAYER." ROMANS 12:12

The Next Chapter Is Ours To Write

It was hard to choose a title for today’s edition of the cleverly named Larry’s Letters but as is often the case the title wrote itself.

Trump won. But really it was our victory as we agreed to be lead by a man who believes in a nation almost lost. It is the nation that the fathers and grandfathers of my generation and their fathers and grandfathers, and their grandfathers and great grandfathers fought and died for. It is a victory for “One nation under God.”

Donald Trump, the unlikely leader of the most culturally diverse nation on Earth , reminded all of us in our moments of near despair that the United States of America — forged in the dreams of our founding fathers, risen to greatness, guided by God —could and must be restored. And so we fought and we prayed. This victory was not just Donald Trumps; it belongs to all of us. We all did our parts whether it was knocking on doors, making phone calls, or putting a sign in our yards; each of us fought this fight.

As of this morning We have won a great political and moral victory. The left is vanquished and in disarray. We have gained the Senate with perhaps as many as four more seats than needed to hold the majority. And it looks like we will retain the House but just barely. And most amazingly Donald Trump and his team mobilized the majority of American voters to cause a change from the old ways of politics to the new way under the banner of new Republican Party of all The People.

The implications of this victory will be “YUGE”. Nation building led by restoration of our economy and our civil rights will be at the top of the agenda. Peace will be brought to the world. How do I know these things? Because they are the things that Donald Trump did as the 45th President of the United States. Greatness is at hand — IF we are willing to continue the fight.

Make no mistake, the left will not ‘go gentle into their good night’. To be sure they will plot revenge and disruption. They will take this loss personally. They may even take to the streets again. But this time if they do Black Lives Matter will not be part of it. This time the violent members of the left will not be allowed to burn and riot without consequence.

And we, The People, will secure this victory by ensuring that the ideals and freedoms that our ancestors fought to secure will be used to restore our state and local governments. To do this requires the same effort that brought Donald Trump back to the Oval Office — devotion to the American Dream and to a loving God who has blessed us anew simply because we asked Him to guide us and to help us in our time of need.

Of all the lessons of this victory that is the greatest.

16Rejoice always, 17pray continually, 18give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 19Do not quench the Spirit.
