Big Game, Bigger Inauguration

     So, after four-plus months of college football competition, the championship game is set, 7:30 Monday night, January 20. By that time, President Trump will have taken oath, many executive orders in the playbook, and various fans celebrating victory. It wouldn't amaze me if he sneaks out to attend the game in Atlanta, but we don't expect it.

     Political parties compete 12 months/year, and numerous Democrats won seats in Congress in November's election. Most of them will not consider Republicans as teammates.  

     The 77 million people who voted for Trump are looking for new rules to tackle wokeness, high inflation and border security. Christians among them want more constitutionalist referees on the team, fumble free religious liberty, and left wingers blocked from their infractions.  

     As coaches have duties throughout the year, voters also have work to do. Tony Perkins, of Family Research Council, says, "The government protects our freedom and our ability to do the work only the church can do. That is to change the hearts and minds of people through the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ."
