Roll Tide, War Eagle, Go______________?
I was raised in Maryland. I've been a Washington Redskins fan since I was a kid. Even though Maryland has college teams, I only followed the Terrapins basketball team for a few years in High School. My youngest daughter married a guy living in the Birmingham area in 2004, so we followed 4 years later. My son-in-law told me I had to declare whether I was going to be an Alabama or Auburn fan. Those of you that are Facebook friends know which one it is now :-). I enjoy College Football like many do. We choose not to pay the bigger bucks to go to the harder games, but we've been blessed to be able to go 4 games in the last 7 years. Some of you may even have season tickets. I don't think the Lord minds when we enjoy various sports and teams as long as we don't make an "idol" out of it, or it keeps us out of Church if we're a born again Christian. We're blessed beyond measure, often to our detriment.
Question: Are you ready to lose that? Are you ready for hardly anyone being able to afford to go to games? Are you ready for people to not afford Cable TV or Internet and Streaming TV to watch games? Are you ready for companies to not afford to pay for advertizing so that there is no television revenue for the NCAA, NFL, MLB, NHL, NBA, etc., resulting in shutting it all down? Do you think this is all far-fetched? If so, you may be living in the Twilight Zone. According to Sen. Rand Paul's office, Biden is proposing another $106 Billion that will mostly go to Ukraine, Israel, and the Indo-Pacific. Okay, maybe if I type the actual digits of the national debt, it'll penatrate more brains: $33,834,280,000,000+ at 8:55PM on 11/28/23. Or maybe I should include the national debt in every weekly article? Do you think that it'll just go away? Do you think inflation will just stop? In as much that Trump would be better than Biden or Gov. Newsome, do you really think that he can stop it? Slow it down perhaps.
The thing is, this is just the tip of the iceberg. We've already seen gradual decline. More restaurants and restaurant chains will close along with all kinds of stores. In the early 90s, when I was a union rep, a guest speaker at a conference had the odacity to tell a bunch of us that most manufacturing would go overseas and we would primarily be a service-oriented county. Well guess what folks? We're there! We've been there!!! And if the Lord tarries, when the economic do-do hits the fan, most if not all of these service-oriented jobs will go away. We all better pay attention and think through what this would mean.
We have taken things for granted and been spoiled in our country. Lulled to sleep, distracted, busy, or don't give a rats a$$. Sadly and perhaps worst of all, is so many people won't do or don't think anything can be done about it, when there's more we can do. As I've said before, the Jan. 6th non-insurrection protest followed by going after Trump and few advisers or supporters, was to intimidate citizens from doing what may be necessary to keep our country as we know it. And those 3,000(?) national guard protecting the capitol for months afterwards is because they are scared for what they did and what we might do. The power is still available in the people of our technical "we the people" government.
