Well, the presidential race for the White House began a short time ago with a crowded field of Republican Party “hopefuls” aggressively making mad dashes for the lead. Running down hill always feels easy at the beginning of a race, but this winding path is deceptive and dangerous, as it steeply descends downward and challenges the runners’ abilities to engage its sharp turns to the right, while traveling at faster velocity and greater momentums in the imposing gravity of their surroundings.
Rick Perry, Herman Cain and Mitt Romney have broken-away from the lead group and are now running as a three-men-lead pack. President Obama runs by himself, slightly behind them in fourth place; with each step he inches closer to joining them in this race to the bottom.
As the race heats up the pace of the front runners will become faster, which means that the runners will have less control of their velocity and their momentum and the course’s sharp turns to the right will become more difficult ―if not impossible ― to engage!
The big surprise, however, lies at the end of the race, for there is no finish line! Instead, the runners arrive at the edge of a big cliff after making another sharp turn to the right!
Let’s pray to God for their sake and the sake of all the other runners that are following them that they will be able to stop “in time” to avoid going over the edge, and taking their followers with them.
God know: I am praying for them and our nation of followers.
