ENJOYING THE OUTDOORS & THE
FELLOWSHIP
Whole families came from all over the state
and some from out of Ohio. Kids brought energy, joy, and enthusiasm. Kids
played on the Capitol lawn while the adults were a bit more sober. Everyone got
into some of the chants led by the leaders on megaphones. “O-H-I-O, Acton’s to Go,” or “DeWine, Tyrant.
DeWine, Tyrant. DeWine, Tyrant.” Several speakers drew the attention of much of
the crowd.
A lot of people were taking pictures, selfies
and pictures of the numerous pertinent and clever signs. Some even took pictures with former President George
Washington who happened to be strolling through the crowd.
PURPOSE
The focus of this united rally of
disgruntled citizens was a demand for the reopening of the Ohio’s economy especially
small businesses and the restoration of jobs lost. Government overreach and overreaction response
to an exaggerated media-hyped pandemic crisis was what caused the people the
most offense. Many small businesses may permanently have to close due to this
unexpected and erroneous government solution to what is turning out to be a
non-crisis.
But there was no one there in authority or
power who listened. No one seems to be paying any attention. Gov. Mike DeWine
with a supposed approval rating of 80% has chosen to ignore We the People. After
all, like many politicians he got what he needed from them, being elected. He
doesn’t need them until at least another three years or so. “Mike DeWine” response,
“Tyrant.”
PRAYER
The people, or at least some of the
people, came and prayed to God. He listened. He always listens. He doesn’t
always answer our prayer according to our wishes. However, He listens.
Interestingly, the leader of the prayer
time at 1:30 p.m. asked believer to come in a circle to join him in prayer and
he asked those who were not believers to circle them and “protect” them. After
a brief time of prayer everyone joined in a march.
The people marched en masse once around
the Capitol square drawing the ire of bicycled police as they walked on the
street to avoid construction barriers at one point along the mini march.
The people left to return another day,
and another, and another…
