Since Mike has been gone, one of the hardest things for me is to face being in this world all alone, trying to sort out everything that is happening. Please stop and think of all of the major things that have happened to our world since July 4th, 2016. We all have been shaking our heads at some point during the last four years. Sometimes in approval. Sometimes in complete disagreement. Often in disbelief.
I have wanted to share so many times, all of the exciting, good points of what has happened in our country with him. I know he would have been so happy about many good things. But, on the flip side, I know he would have been so sad, and mad, about the things that have been so detrimental to the good of our country.
I so miss interacting with him about the news, reflecting on what’s happened, and facing the future with him. Since I don’t work outside of the home now, I often have days that I don’t talk to another living soul. Many days the talking is just by texting or a phone call. It’s easy for me to not even know what’s happened in the world on a particular day. I have never liked to have the TV or radio on as background noise, or to keep me company. I still don’t most of the time. But, I do like to turn on the news each evening and try to catch a little bit of what’s happened in our world that day.
Truth can hurt, but it can set you free. I really think this guy is telling it like it really is. Some of you don’t know that because all you watch is the mainline channels, or as someone we all know has called them, “The Fake News”.
I record Tucker Carlson’s daily show and a few others, so I can watch them whenever I want to without all of the commercials. On days that I don’t see anyone else, my meal times are sporadic, because I just eat whenever I get hungry. So, usually whenever I decide to sit down to eat something for dinner, anywhere from 4 to 8, then I usually eat it with Tucker. I laugh with him. I get mad with him. I empathize with him. I question things with him. I guess I feel like I know him. I call it my “Dinner with Tucker” time.
And I’ve listened long enough now to believe that he’s telling me the truth. I’ve watched his record. Yes, he’s made some mistakes, but he will admit them, unlike many others. But, for a news reporter, I think he has a pretty stellar record of telling the unbiased truth about our leaders, and the country and society that we live in.
Some of you are probably going to stop reading. Some haven’t even read this far. But, since I’ve already had to rework my contacts list during the last four years, since I’m on the widow’s network now instead of the couples network, I’ve already had some experience in facing that, I guess.
I’m so concerned about this world that is rapidly becoming an unsafe place for our children and grandchildren. I know all of you are, also. But, I’m pretty sure that some of you are still fighting what you know in your heart is truth. Yes, it boggles my mind when I think of certain people I know who are still defending things that are going to come right back and suck the life they treasure right out of them and the ones they love.
You can call me the Widow Watchwoman on the wall, I guess. But, this old world is shaking with evil forces that want to destroy every good thing you and I hold dear to our hearts. These evil forces want to make a world controlled by socialism for our children, and it will be one that our grandparents and many of our parents who are gone, would not recognize at all. And dare I say, that you and I will not recognize or like it at all, either. We and our children are very close to losing most of the freedoms you and I have likely taken for granted.
Yes, I pray that Jesus comes back soon. I do believe that He will return for His people who are ready, waiting, and watching for Him. But, until that day, we need to stand up for God’s truths and proclaim them to this lost world that is self-destructing in sin, and so many are headed in the opposite direction from Heaven!
