Why We Shouldn't Be Worried About Who The President Is

Whether you're a Christian or not, you're probably asking yourself this: Is there a possibility of peace or reconciliation in this fractured world?

The answer is yes. Even with Donald Trump as president of the GREAT United States of America.

Here's why: (and it's without taking a side of a political party)

No political party is perfect. That's right. Neither Democrats or Republicans or any Third Party has all of it right. In addition, neither party equals Christianity. There is no "Jesus" Party. Both sides lean away from biblical principles, adopting more worldly principles in their platforms. This may leave some Christians scratching their heads... then what are we as Christians called to do or support?

We are called to follow Jesus first.

If you follow Jesus first, there is no reason to stress or be upset about this election. The worldview of this election is hounding you with artificial emotion, saying that you should be scared, that you and your family have now been placed in danger, that Donald Trump will personally seek you out and kick you out of the country. Do not believe this darkness. This fear is not of the Lord, it is the devil devouring an opportunity to wreck a country that is "One nation under God." This division has been created by an evil we cannot see, it was not created by Republicans, and it was not created by Democrats. It is a darkness we cannot see, and we are fighting an enemy that is not human. That's why this fracture is running so deep.

In this time of uncertainty, we must turn to truth, not the media.

Romans 13:1 says this:

Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.

Therefore, if we're rebelling against the government in a manner of hatred, we're rebelling against God. It shows a lack of trust.

The Lord has placed Donald Trump into power for reasons we possibly may never be able to see or understand. If Hillary Clinton had been elected, these words would still ring true. The president is the authority that has been placed in power by the Almighty Lord. We must trust the Lord, knowing that He has a plan to heal this fractured nation with Donald Trump as president.

If you're upset over this election, as many are, I encourage you to pray and inquire about what the Bible says about the situation. Only the Lord will give you the peace you're looking for. Only the Lord will show you the love that this nation is capable of. No divide is too big, evidence being not even sin could separate us from Jesus. He calls us to be one, let us unite and trust that our Lord will bless this great nation as He has infinite times.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
