I don't know if this has anything to do with seeing the good, but I have been thinking about it and I wanted to write a bit about the Russian interference in the past election. In some ways, I am writing about what is reported on the news. What the news people choose to talk to us about. The information that we are fed. Is it news or not? Is someone fabricating a story for some reason?
For example, whatever we hear on the news tomorrow, I doubt that it will be about Russia annexing Crimea, Russia building a bridge from their mainland to Crimea or the Russian war in the Ukraine. Why don't we hear about these things? I don't know.
But we hear over and over about Russian interference in the elections. In my opinion, this is not news. This is to be expected. How many elections have we {the USA} interfered with? Giving money and support to the candidate that we wanted to win. Supporting the Contras in Nicaragua. Installing our own presidential choice in Vietnam. Toppling Saddam Hussein. Fighting against one side or the other in Libya, Syria, Panama, Grenada and who knows where else.
Hoping for a leader that is more favorable to your side is nothing new. We have done it forever. Heck, if the French had not intervened in our revolution, we might still be a part of England.
Russian interference is not news. I don't know why we keep hearing about it. Nations enlist spies and use all sorts of technology to work things to their favor. That is just how the world works.
It's a beautiful day in God's world be sure to see the good.
