Wicked spirits v. the Holy Spirit (and miracles)

LEMME JUST start by saying I was born in a lower middle class family. We had very little spending money and I still have most of it. I used to buy cars for 50 bucks. I once drove from Wisconsin to southern Georgia and back on $14 worth of gas (before the Interstate was finished). My phone likes that one. My mother worked hard. My father worked hard. My brother worked hard. On a dairy farm you go to work at age 4. But what does that have to do with election issues, Kamala?

I have a book, "Miracles and Other Wonders" by Charles Sellier. It may take a miracle to overcome the media bias and Kamala's lies. Someone said, "She can't tell time without lying." The border is secure. She's no longer against fracking, and her supporters lap it up. Anyway, I could write a couple of columns just about miracles in my own life, but there's one story in the book I want to paraphrase.

A guy saw somebody throw a dog out of a pickup truck. He took it to a vet and decided to keep it. It was named Lucky. His family was going on a trip from central California to Los Angeles, so Lucky was put in a pet care center. Approaching Fresno, a dense fog developed and traffic slowed down. The wife heard barking and saw a dog running along side the car. It looked like Lucky. The dad decided to take a break and there was an exit right in front of them. The dog kept running alongside them, but when approached it disappeared into the fog. His daughter tried to follow it, but couldn't see in the fog and stopped. The man had been having recurring dreams with that picture of his daughter in it.

The delay was a propitious one. Just as they started the car up again, they heard crashing from the freeway. The chain reaction crashes killed 31 people while more than 30 had critical injuries, with at least 100 more injured. It was the worst traffic catastrophe in U.S, history. "Lucky" had saved them. There are more details to the story that would give you goose bumps, but it's all a true story. The age of miracles is not dead.

I personally know that dogs have spiritual qualities that we don't have. My dog and I were visiting a guy who was complaining about being bothered by demons. Before we left, my dog looked up into a corner of the room and growled. Some years before, a guy took a picture of Brandy and me, and in the photo you can see him turning his head away from the guy. That guy later shot seven people in church. Demons exist, and dogs know it. And this election may come down demons versus God. Do we deserve God's help?

THAT IS THE QUESTION.
