About a year ago I was trampled by three of our horses. Just prior to it happening I saw what was shaping up to be a disaster and yelled “whoa” as I tried to get the lead horse and troublemaker to simmer down. He promptly ignored me and barreled into my chest knocking me to the ground, and then ran right over me as did the two horses that went running after him.
My head hit the ground and it knocked me out for a few seconds. I rolled down a slight embankment and stopped dead still. When I finally regained consciousness, my wife who had witnessed the incident was screaming at me and asking if I was all right.
At that point I really didn’t know, so I didn’t answer right away. I was thinking I might have some serious problems. My tail bone felt like it was broken, I felt nauseous, and my chest really hurt where the horse stepped on it. I didn’t answer and she screamed, “ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?”
I screamed back, “I DON’T KNOW! Geez, cool it already!”
Finally with some help from her I got to my feet, dusted myself off, and though I was dazed, everything seemed to be working properly.
As I was thinking of this incident I remembered sensing that those horses were getting ready to run directly over me, but I couldn’t get out of the way and I couldn’t stop them. It crossed my mind at the time that this just might be the end of old Bob.
I’ve always marveled at how many things I can think of in mere seconds when facing danger. I’ve experienced the same sensation in cars that have turned over multiple times. Each time it flipped I thought I would be squashed like a bug the very next time it crashed into the pavement with a loud BANG. But God was with me and I survived.
This entire scenario reminds me of the upcoming election. I sense danger in Obama being re-elected. I pray that God will be with us during the election and Obama will be defeated. I fear for our country as it turns further and further away from Christ under his administration. I fear for our economy which his policies have devastated, I fear for our national defense as our military is being dismantled under his leadership, and of course I fear that we will lose more of our freedoms which have been taken away month after month. We have suffered heavily in the past four years, but he still has a formidable army of mostly misfits who rabidly support him.
I’ve done my part. I just sent another large check on top of other checks to Romney’s campaign fund, I voted for Romney yesterday, I traveled Florida and stumped for him, I’ve had NOBAMA stickers on all of our plantation trucks for months, I’ve encouraged everyone I can think of to vote for Romney, I’ve argued with Obama supporters and even challenged them to duels under my oak trees, and importantly I’ve been praying every day for months that Romney will get elected and stop the madness.
Basically just like with the horses, I’ve now done all that I know to do and I’m satisfied there is nothing more I can personally do to save our country. I await my trampling or hopefully near miss…
So-o-o Will we be trampled?
Only God knows for sure.
It’s hard to envision four more years of Obama. Just thinking of seeing his disingenuous, smiling arrogant face on television every night for another term makes me want to puke, in fact I think I just spit up a little just thinking about it.
If you feel that this column is harsh today, then think about all those babies that will die horrendous deaths at the hands of the abortionists that he supports. I hear those little babies’ terrified screams and you can bet your bippy that God hears them too. While you may not agree with me on most issues or any issue, I maintain that Obama is perverse and evil for supporting trimester abortions and for being the only senator to vote (three times) to allow doctors to finish killing any child that survives an abortion.
We are told in the Bible to reject perverse ideas and stay away from evil. Reject Obama and vote for Romney and allow the Lord to begin the healing process on our once great God fearing and prosperous country.
Psalm 101:4
I will reject perverse ideas and stay away from every evil.
