[Faith-talk] False Accusations

[Beth Kats]

I agree with you, Linda.  I wasn't pleased with the election.  We all need
to remember that God is in control.  Our Pastor said that God gives us what
we need even though it isn't always what we want.  I need to work on
remembering that God is in control even though his plan is not what we had
hoped.

Hi Julie,

I'm sorry, too.  I'm not against our president elect because he's 
black.  Fact is, he's half black.  That's neither here nor 
there.  It's mainly because he's the most liberal of all in Congress, 
and I believe that a lot of our rights will be taken away once he is 
sworn in.  We'll see what happens, but I'm praying for him, and all 
the rest in authority over us.  I sent those things to you because I 
knew you wouldn't find out from the mainstream media.  But the 
election has made history, and God's people need to be more vigilent than
ever.

Blessings,

Linda
