Good morning and Happy Thanksgiving šš¦
Todayās focus for me is moderation, vision, joy, and meditation on Godās goodness. He truly lifted me from the dungheap and has taken me places I never imagined. The word below is always appropriate for believers.
Psalm 37: 3-6
Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. #ThanksgivingĀ #God #Jesus #prayer #Faith #PeaceForAll #love

Here are some of my post-election thoughts about the midterm elections.
What does God have to say about this?
#BibleVerse #Daniel2:20 #worry #hope
Polls Can Be Wrong. Midterm Headwinds Are Real. 2028 Is a Different Election.
Polls and betting markets have several Republican Senate seats looking vulnerable today. The numbers put Susan Collins at roughly a 70-75% chance of losing in Maine, Mike Rogers around 75-80% in Michigan, Dan Sullivan near 70% in Alaska, Roger Marshall in the mid-60s in Kansas, and Ken Paxton around 70% in Texas.
These are just odds. Polls and markets get races wrongāsometimes badly.
Collins herself overcame a clear polling deficit in 2020. Weāll know the real results soon enough.
The larger pattern is harder to ignore. Midterms are usually a referendum on the party in power. Since 1946, the presidentās party has lost House seats in 18 of 20 midterms, averaging roughly 26 seats. Senate losses are less automatic but still common (13 of those 20 cycles). Voters treat the midterms as a chance to send a message. That headwind is real.
It does not, however, decide the next presidential election. The correlation ...
This verse keeps coming back to me whenever people act like their personal sense of morality, justice, or goodness somehow outranks Godās.
Their thoughts are higher than the Creatorās?
That idea is both arrogant and absurd. It leaves me somewhere between an eye-roll and genuine sadness.
āFor my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,ā declares the Lord. āAs the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.ā
Isaiah 55:8ā9 (NIV)
