"Dudgeon" is not the sort of word that I feel ought to go with the word "high." However, "High dudgeon" is in fact a phrase, and it describes fairly adequately my reaction upon waking up to discover the results of the election. I have difficulty understanding how Obama, with his record, could get more votes than Romney with his. It boggles my mind. Again let me say, also, that I have heard many people today say that we as a country are doomed, that there is no turning around of America now.
My reaction at first was fairly similar. It was not a good morning.
Until God told me through someone to stop worrying.
A dear friend who we see on Wednesdays came in and announced, "Listen to what God told me on the way over!" She then proceeded to describe how she was distressed and despairing after the results came through, and how God solidly reminded that our faith does not belong in men, and that it doesn't matter who is president - Jesus is LORD.
It was really timely, and put a smile of conviction and optimism on my face, the last thing I'd expected to wear in this situation. Frankly, though, what else should I ever need to wear?
"We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed." - 2nd Corinthians 4:8
