There is absolutely nothing of significance whatsoever happening today.

I have decided to be a man about things by plunging my head in the sand and going in full on news blackout mode for say, the next four years at least.

Because the world my friend, is in a drunken stupor of epic proportions, and rather than get upset it, or dwell on the fact that more than half of my fellow Americans are dumbasses with their hands held out waiting for Sugar Daddy Government to coddle them, I have decided instead to focus on more important things. Like cupcakes and 80s music. Mostly cupcakes though.

There’s really no sense in getting upset over things I have no influence over and can’t change. But more importantly, this is the time to realize that whereas I am but a mere speck in the sand, God is above it all, and is more than capable of keeping me in a haven of protection from some of the awful things that’s sure to come. I’ve seen it over and over before, and I’m sure it will continue on for as long as I have faith in Him. And that’s all that He really requires of me really, is to have faith that He will take care of me through the good times and the bad, whether we good presidents or bad ones (or really, REALLY, bad ones).

It’s strange that in spite of everything that’s happened in the past, after being trodden down of family members who either left me or betrayed me, that I could still believe without a second thought God’s infinite ability and desire to put a wall of fire around me, for no other reason than because He is full of grace and mercy. And if He be for me, then what have I to fear? Obama may be the president now, but God reigns above him and all the nations of the earth, which all together are as a drop in the bucket to the Lord of hosts.

When that knowledge becomes real to us, then we can rest in it and truly know what it means to have perfect peace in troubled times.

And cupcakes.

Amen.

Funny you should mention cupcakes. I just got back from the grocery store. Usually, I bypass the baked goods. Today, for some reason, I picked up some Bavarian creme filled heart shaped donuts with pink sprinkles. So, I kinda trump your cupcakes, but you’re welcome to a donut – if you get here in time to nab one for yourself. Great comfort food on such a day.

You will have to read my latest blog. It should cheer you up immensely. Scarily enough, my husband posted it on two gun forums and it started making rounds around the internet.

I get your Twitter updates all the time now! I don’t know how to send my own from my cell phone yet, though. It’s nice knowing what you are up to. :-) I would bother to figure out how to use it, but I leave for Japan in March. My cell phone won’t work anymore over there. Blargh!

@Kelly: That’s hysterical. :rofl: I still can’t believe you’re going to Japan, either. :wideeyed:

You’re right. So many people had been Tweeting that it would be like Disneyland in America today.

But it ain’t.

Cupcakes and 80s music ftw!

It’s been like a funeral at some Obama-friendly places I’ve been to recently, which really surprised me. You’d think everyone would be reveling on the streets or something. :blink:

I’m with you on cupcakes and politics. Aside from yours and the Radical Woman one, cooking blogs are about all I can stomach. :nolisten: Truthfully, the funeral atmosphere is likely present in the White House as well. There’s a reality check going on. He’s going to need a lot of prayer, and that’s something we can all do.
