Tom Brock shares his personal thoughts

Tom Brock

Well we have a new President...Not sure how we feel about all that has gone on. It seems that our media have made sure that he was elected and I'm not too comfortable with that. He is an inspiring man and he looks to bring a new hope to the White House which we have not seen since Reagan.

I am sure that the performance of our present administration has played a major role in bringing in our new President. Over all the Republican Party did not deserve the trust of America and the change across the board proved that. Most everyone felt that the need for change overshadowed the issues and beliefs of the candidates. But in truth we cannot deny the overwhelming bias of the media in all of this and we should all cry out for reform in this area once and for all.

My real problem is the danger that is now on the table for the next generation of Americans. The beliefs of our new President will put millions of unborn Americans at risk. The Bill that he has promised to sign when he comes into office will allow for abortion to move to a new level and go unchecked. What will be the consequence of this? I really don't know, but it concerns me no end.

Just as an example, when Amy my daughter was pregnant with her first child, the doctor told her that from the results of a test they had taken, it was almost positive that the baby would be born with downs syndrome. They encouraged her to abort the pregnancy. Those of you who have met our Bella know that they were wrong! And we have an amazing little girl in our lives who has brought so much joy to our lives that it brings me to tears to think of life without her. What will she become? What will she add to our nation? If she brings any measure of the joy she has brought to us she could be a world changer!

Who will we lose when the law is changed? What will we lose in our nation and in the Church? Who will we never meet?

I was alive when President Kennedy was in office and assassinated. I remember the feeling when we found out he was gone. It felt like all hope was lost.

When I was in school, I was a strong supporter of Robert Kennedy. The hope that he brought to us as a then young generation and the belief we would see real change in our nation was amazing. No war, an end of prejudice, a fair and equal opportunity for us all. This was our hope, this was the dream. The day he was shot was one of the darkest days in our history.

The loss of a life that might have changed the face of our nation in so many ways, never got the chance to reach the platform to effect us. Death is a great silencer and I wonder how many voices we will never hear because of their death that will now be allowed in our nation.

We will now enter a time of "change" and it will be as in the past a time of promises made and broken. Our calling is sure and our agenda is clear, we need to pray for our leaders and believe that God will speak to and through them. So pray for our new President, ask God to guide him in all is ways. And pray for a generation that is not yet born that they too will have a chance to sing His praise. Psalms 78:6
