This is my post for freewriters 2548 prompt less division hosted by @mariannewest

It is now time for everyone to come back together, your person won or your person lost either way, we have our President and like them or not, that is the way it is and we should respect it, (respect was a hard word for me to type) but we have to do that for the person who won the Presidency. There is no other way.

We have to have less division between us and come together as a Country. We all need to forget about being Democrats or Republicans we just need to be Americans. I did not get anything I wanted passed in this election including the President but now he is my President and I have to come to terms with it and accept him as The President of the United States of America.

Enough of that!!! I want to talk about the best ever gardening tool and my best bud, Rudy.

Rudy has 5 pots of Romaine lettuce 2 of another type of lettuce, and 5 pots of sweet potato vines. He has two pots of carrots and I still have to buy veggies for him because he can eat this faster than I can grow it. For such a little fellow, he sure can eat.

My husband is a little upset with me because I have been stealing some of the leaves from his radish plants for Rudy.

I do not know why he cares, he has 4 pots of radishes, and taking a leaf from one is only going to help the radish grow.

Maybe this tool was made for gardening, I am not sure but it is what I use for planting seeds and weeding. I planted some more veggie seeds for Rudy, it was a mixture that came free with an order. I put the entire package in this pot, as fast as Rudy can eat, I think they will not be overcrowded.

My best garden tool is also great for loosening the roots of carrot weed and other weeds. I stick it in the soil a wiggle it around following the roots and by doing this I can get the entire root out of the ground.

I can also put it between the bricks to get less division to pull weeds out. Any time I see this tool at a yard sale or thrift store I buy it because I am sure this one will be lying in a pot or on the ground somewhere on these 2 acres with the others I have lost, I lose them, I have even painted them red so they will be easy for me to see and I still lose them. I used to get them for 25 cents, the last one that I bought cost a dollar.

He will be the president of the United States of America come January. He was not nor shall ever be my president ... however, the respect he will have in that position is ordered by the Lord in Romans 13. Because my Lord and my God commands my love, and my highest honor, I will obey Him down to respecting anyone who sits in the office of the president.

Y'know, there's a lot to unpack when it comes to Romans 13. I have little faith Trump will exhibit the characteristics of a just ruler described there or elsewhere.

Neither did the Emperor Nero, who was on the throne then. The command is absolute but in one area: the minute a ruler orders obedience to him that contradicts known commands of God, God is to be obeyed. This is where Martin Luther, Martin Luther King Jr., and many others stood, and it is a firm place to stand now. Respect does not mean WORSHIP, in word or deed. When a ruler oversteps that bound, he or she is not to be obeyed in that area.

According to a number of commentators, "obey" isn't quite the right translation from Greek. It's more a sense of "comply to maintain peace." And yes, their laws cannot compelmus to violate God's laws.

That is a distinction without much of a difference, simply because "comply" is gentler, but still assumes active acquiescence to authority. One cannot get around that ... unless said authority presumes to contradict God, at which point compliance and obedience are both off the table.

What you said is what I was trying to say. You said it better than I did. Praying for us to get through these 4 years and for him not to become a Dictator.

You have the advantage of having lived through six years of Richard Nixon ... God was good then, and He's got this for us now!

I was a teen ager during Nixon, I was into watching soap operas and was so mad because they interrupted them for the hearings on TV.

Well, you missed all that horror ... but you and yours MADE IT ... and, Lord willing, so will we!
