I spent much of President-Elect Joseph R. Biden Jr.&#8217;s and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris&#8217; first speeches as duly &amp; honestly selected leaders of this nation unabashedly tear-filled. The wave of relief was overwhelming. Hearing kind, vibrant, uplifting, and articulately + professionally delivered words was like the finest symphonic production compared to the ALL CAPS productions that we&#8217;ve been forced to consume for so long.<\/p>\n<p>The outgoing (perhaps a new neologism \u2014 &#8220;unpresidented&#8221; \u2014 should be used since so much of what this person did was criminally unprecedented) loser did damage our nation severely, but I&#8217;m ashamed to admit just how much damage I let him and those that support <em>and detract<\/em> him do to me.<\/p>\n<p>President-elect Biden said this as part of his speech last night:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n  And to those who voted for President Trump, I understand your disappointment tonight.<br \/>\n  <br \/>\n  I\u2019ve lost a couple of elections myself.<br \/>\n  But now, let\u2019s give each other a chance.<br \/>\n  <br \/>\n  It\u2019s time to put away the harsh rhetoric.<br \/>\n  <br \/>\n  To lower the temperature.<br \/>\n  <br \/>\n  To see each other again.<br \/>\n  <br \/>\n  To listen to each other again.<br \/>\n  <br \/>\n  To make progress, we must stop treating our opponents as our enemy. We are not enemies. We are Americans.<br \/>\n  <br \/>\n  The Bible tells us that to everything there is a season \u2014 a time to build, a time to reap, a time to sow. And a time to heal.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He went on to say:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n  Let this grim era of demonization in America begin to end \u2014 here and now.<br \/>\n  <br \/>\n  The refusal of Democrats and Republicans to cooperate with one another is not due to some mysterious force beyond our control.<\/p>\n<p>  It\u2019s a decision. It\u2019s a choice we make.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And, still, further on:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n  We stand again at an inflection point.<br \/>\n  <br \/>\n  We have the opportunity to defeat despair and to build a nation of prosperity and purpose.<br \/>\n  We can do it. I know we can.<br \/>\n  <br \/>\n  I\u2019ve long talked about the battle for the soul of America.<br \/>\n  <br \/>\n  We must restore the soul of America.<br \/>\n  <br \/>\n  Our nation is shaped by the constant battle between our better angels and our darkest impulses.<br \/>\n  <br \/>\n  It is time for our better angels to prevail.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>What President-elect Biden did was socially engineer a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Matthew+18:21-35&amp;version=ESV\">Matthew 18:21-35<\/a> on me\/us since what he&#8217;s calling on us (me) to do is <em>forgive<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Forgive the Resident in Chief.<\/p>\n<p>Forgive his supporters.<\/p>\n<p>Forgive the right <em>and left<\/em> radicals whose severely flawed agendas have brought us to the brink of yet-another antebellum.<\/p>\n<p>Forgive the Evangelicals who sold out American Christianity for a chance to be court evangelicals and wield even greater earthly power than they already did.<\/p>\n<p>Forgive owners of establishments and organizations that showed support for MAGA and the outgoing POTUS.<\/p>\n<p>Forgive the extended family on my spouse&#8217;s side who proudly supported and still support what is obviously evil.<\/p>\n<p>And, forgive myself for \u2014 amongst a myriad of other things \u2014 just how un-Christ-like my hate, disdain, and despair has increasingly consumed myself and my words\/actions over the past 4+ years.<\/p>\n<p>I wish I could say I&#8217;m eager to do this. I am not. The self-righteous, smug, superior hate and disdain feels pretty good, doesn&#8217;t it? It&#8217;s kinda warm and fiery in a wretched country bourbon sort of way. It feels soothingly justified, too, doesn&#8217;t it? I mean, hundreds of thousands of living, breathing, amazing humans in America died directly because of &#8220;these people&#8221; (<em>ah, how comforting acerbic tribal terminology can be<\/em>), didn&#8217;t they? How can I possibly forgive that?<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately \u2014 yes, fortunately \u2014 I have to, and if you&#8217;re still reading this and feel similarly to the preceding paragraph, I would strongly suggest you have to as well.<\/p>\n<p>I have to because it is the foundation of my Faith (which I seem to have let evil convince me to forget for a while) and because it&#8217;s a cancer that will eventually subsume me if I let it (and I already beat physical cancer once, so I&#8217;m not letting a spiritual, emotional, and intellectual one win either).<\/p>\n<p>We all have to \u2014\u00a0on all sides, since &#8220;right&#8221; and &#8220;left&#8221; are far too large buckets \u2014 if Joe and Kamala have even a remote chance to lead America into healing.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I am not naive. The road ahead is long and fraught with peril. We are a deeply divided nation. Repair will take decades if it happens at all.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll start by striving to take <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Colossians+3%3A12-17&amp;version=ESV\">Colossians 3:12-17<\/a> more seriously and faithfully than I have ever taken it before and be ready to perform whatever actions are necessary to help this be a time for myself and our nation to heal.<\/p>\n<p>I say &#8220;strive&#8221; as I had planned to conclude with some &#8220;I forgive\u2026&#8221;s, but I quite literally cannot type anything but ellipses after those two words yet. Hopefully it won&#8217;t take too long to get past that for most of the above list. I&#8217;m not sure forgiving the last item on it will happen any time soon, though.<\/p>\n<p>Stay safe. Wear a mask. Be kind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NOTE: There&#8217;s a unique feed URL for R\/tech stuff \u2014 https:\/\/rud.is\/b\/category\/r\/feed\/.
