Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ
This will be a very simple and very short blog. Here is a simple and yet a complicated question. With all of the turmoil going on in the world today, and with the United States coming up on a presidential election. What do the Christians do if their chosen one is not elected? Whichever one that may be? Many who call themselves Christian are deceiving themselves and have no clue what it is to be Christian. The so-called body of Christ is disgustingly divided on who Jesus the Christ actually is and what He represents or what we are even expected to do in this day and age.
Obviously something needs to be done, but what? Think about it, pray about it. What will we do?
But first let us take a look at a couple more fables.
The Kingdom of the Lion
THE BEASTS of the field and forest had a Lion as their king. He was neither wrathful, cruel, nor tyrannical, but just and gentle as a king could be. During his reign he made a royal proclamation for a general assembly of all the birds and beasts, and drew up conditions for a universal league, in which the Wolf and the Lamb, the Panther and the Kid, the Tiger and the Stag, the Dog and the Hare, should live together in perfect peace and amity. The Hare said, “Oh, how I have longed to see this day, in which the weak shall take their place with impunity by the side of the strong.”
And after the Hare said this, he ran for his life.

The Wolf and the Crane
A WOLF who had a bone stuck in his throat hired a Crane, for a large sum, to put her head into his mouth and draw out the bone. When the Crane had extracted the bone and demanded the promised payment, the Wolf, grinning and grinding his teeth, exclaimed: “Why, you have surely already had a sufficient recompense, in having been permitted to draw out your head in safety from the mouth and jaws of a wolf.”
In serving the wicked, expect no reward, and be thankful if you escape injury for your pains.

As before I will ask again; what can we learn from fables? What will we do Christian?
