Ever felt out of sync? I can't seem to get in a groove. I feel like everything is out of whack. My sleep patterns, my eating habits, my social activity, and most noticable is my writing regimen. It's almost non-existent. As a contributor to Devotional Christian (an online devotional site), I am completely remiss in fulfilling obligations to my editor. I put my devotional book on the back burner because I just couldn't keep up with the rigors of writing it and editing. I use to be a multi-tasker. I could do several things at once and never miss a beat. But lately, I've lost that smooth control of managing myself and the fundamentals of everyday routine. It's flat-out annoying, friends. I think I will feel more like me when I've cleared out the old house and gotten myself totally settled. I'm not sure.
Sometimes my granddaughters get out of sync. Their daily routines are interrupted by holidays, weekends, illness, or weather. It's hard to get their little minds to settle down and settle in to the normal routine. Is there really a normal? Can we ever really be settled? Isn't there something that inevitably comes along and throws us into a tailspin? I think so. Think about it.
Our economy is out of sync. Our government is out of sync. Our world is out of sync. Our politicians are out of sync. In fact, the President of the United States is "totally out of sync". With businesses, with Christians, with conservatives, with the U.S. Constitution. For a man who supposedly studied constitutional law in college, he seems oblivious to the notion that we have the First Amendment protecting religious freedom. America voted in a president, not a dictator. Where does he get off forcing religious institutions to provide people they insure and employ with something against their moral convictions? Who does he really think he is? Hugo Chavez? Castro? This is America, not Cuba. In 2008, when then candidate Barack Obama rallied his supporters in a stump speech and said, "We are just 4 days away from fundamentally changing America", he wasn't just blowing smoke, friends. He meant it. The changes he has implemented have doubled our gas prices. At this point we can see a fundamental change in everything that gasoline entails. Inflation of prices at the grocery. Less money in our pockets to purchase these things because getting to work costs more. (We won't mention the trillions he's added to our national debt.)
His insane unconstitutional mandate for employers to provide specific insurance coverage and citizens to obtain it, has disrupted the entire economy. People don't hire because they know they cannot possibly adhere to Obamacare's demands. So businesses are out of sync and many are out of business. However, Obama waves his magic wand and gives waivers to his voting blocks...the unions, his political cronies. But not religious institutions. Oh no. That's where he draws the line. They are fair game for his assaults to "fundamentally change America" and destroy religious liberty.
Make no mistake, my friends. Just as Obama's pen has swept across several executive orders to do whatever he pleases, he is a man of his word. He is fundamentally changing our country and the Constitution. Syllable by syllable. Letter by letter. If the President of the United States can "force" religious entities to do anything against their will and faith, then we won't have long to wait before the government enters our homes, cleanses our cupboards of Little Debbie Snacks, and force-feeds broccoli and spinach down our throats.
