Survival Guide

Dear friend, who is sad this week because of the election, let me give you some excellent advice for surviving the next few years.

This has all been tried and implemented, with complete success, over the last eight years, so it's worthy of note.

Turn off the radio, TV, or electronic device immediately when it plays Donald Trump's voice, or Mike Pence. You don't need to hear it. Those who can stand the sound will tell you everything you need to know.

I did this with Obama and Hillary, and it really helped me.

Make a rule that you will not raise your voice when discussing the politics du jour. It only irritates. Just listen and respond with courtesy. You won't change anyone's mind by hollering at them. A reasoned argument  or article is much more convincing.

Focus on known truth. Stop getting upset at social media claims. The media lies incessantly, so don't get taken in.

Look for philosophical agendas, and see how different groups implement these goals. It's eye opening, but not worth getting upset over.

Stay calm. Conserve your energy for rational activity.

Always look for truth. Jesus said "I am the way, the truth, and the life."

He is truth because he claimed it and has been proven. God is worth pursuing.

Remember, God is in control!

Rejoice.
