The sleeper cells have awakened

We’ve heard a lot of criticism of the generation called Millenials. As I watch some of these young people today, I’ve said to myself, “There’s nothing wrong with this generation. They are sleeper cells who didn’t wake up until it was time to engage, time to do what they came here to do.” It certainly feels like some of them have been planted in certain locations and situations that would cause them to  activate suddenly and ferociously when their time had come.

Almost daily, we’re assaulted by destructive actions from some of our elected officials. There’s a lot of handwringing going on, especially when polls supposedly indicate the general public is approving more of some of these people. “How can it be?” we ask ourselves. “How can good people approve of such vile, immoral, selfish public officials who don’t seem to care about the common good?”

While I can’t answer that to my own satisfaction much less yours, I can say this. The sleeper cells have awakened. They are on the playing field now and they won’t go back to sleep. In fact, more of them are awakening daily. It’s our job to support them however we can, encourage more of them to wake up, and do whatever part is ours to turn this ship around. Ships don’t turn on a dime. It takes care, consistency, expertise, and patience to turn a ship like this one around. It can be done. It is being done.

Yes, it’s a bumpy ride, but one we have to take. Hang on, don’t lose faith, keep your eyes on the horizon while knowing the ship will ultimately go in the correct direction.
