Out with the old

I have enjoyed 2017 much more than I have a year in quite some time! There was much hope and change, true hope and change, in this past year. Hope was crushed under President Obama and all his changes were for the worst!

Under President Trump we have seen hope renewed and changes that have brought about positive movement in so many aspects of our society. Economy is no longer sluggish. Steps are being taken to restore freedoms that were infringed upon. Burdensome taxation is being eased. Steps are being taken to protect citizens. The United Nations is being put on notice that America will not be trampled upon any longer. And, much more is happening and in the planning.

So, as we prepare to say goodbye to 2017, I am looking forward to welcoming 2018. I see it as a new step to seeing nasty old things getting shoved out of the way and making way for new ideas. What is kinda funny though, is that some of the new things will actually be old things. Like the idea of allowing citizens to keep more of their own money. That used to be lots more common. Until government started thinking of our income as theirs.

I am also hoping that in 2018 we will see another bunch of old things getting shoved out of the way. Like some of the old government employees that have been in Congress and the Senate waaay too long! So long that they do not even realize they are citizens anymore and think themselves above the law and deserving of royal treatment. I hope we replace lots of those old fogies with fresh new people with a realistic view of the world and ideas for a ways to make life better for American citizens.

There are lots more things to hope for in 2018. But, mostly I am hoping for my family and friends to have hearts filled with joy. I know there has been much sorrow in these past several years. And, while 2017 was an improvement for most, some are still suffering with grief, illness, and other trials. All of it will not go away with the changing of a page on the calendar. I know this. But, nevertheless, my prayer is that the Lord will give them comfort and peace as they face what lies ahead and deal with the consequences of the past.

May a happy new year greet you as you arise on 1 January 2018. May you choose happiness each day. May you face your troubles with a prayer in your heart, so the Lord can help you face anything and everything with strength and peace. God bless all y’all as we throw out the old, ring in the new, and look to a brighter American future with President Trump leading the charge towards prosperity and freedom!

Sayonara,
