Election 2012 Post-mortem: Still looking for the Silver Linings

This is the last post I expected to write on November 7, 2012. But life, often gives unexpected results. As opposed to 2008, when I went to bed early already knowing the outcome of that election (and wrote about those "silver linings" the next day), this time around, I was much more optimistic that Americans wanted to oust this fraudulent leader. A friend even invited me to an election night party with other like-minded Conservatives, and I was excited to go and have a room full of people to potentially share in victory. So I prepared to stay up late, but be happy in doing so. The stay up late part came to pass, the happiness and victory, not so much. President Obama was re-elected for a second term, and this grieves me beyond measure. After watching the demise of the America I thought I knew last night, I did what I do in good times and bad: look for God's perspective on this. For my life, this is best found in God's word. So my comments will be interspersed with scriptures that come to mind or that fit the focus of my thoughts. Take it for what it's worth. I will start off my rant with railing at the storm clouds first, because that's always the first thing you. But take heart, after gazing at the dark clouds, if you look deeply enough, you can still find silver linings.
