North and South...

US election results can clearly show a color difference... blue states in the north(and around the coasts) and red states in the south. Obama did manage to turn some of the red states blue, but the trend, since the days of Abraham Lincoln, continues. Nation is kinda split. Lincoln did manage to preserve the union with a war... for otherwise those red states would've been their own countries by now.

Taiwan seems to mirror this in a similar fashion. Same north and south arragement... except swtich the red to green! ;) Wife was saying even in China, for whatever reasons the north part of China seems to have an advantage over the south. Capital is at north part... Beijing.

That is just so weird.

Anyway, I just hope people in Taiwan can learn from US history... to be able to learn to get along without having to pay too heavy of a price... such as a civil war. But who knows? Perhaps that's just not possible? People are just so naturally divisive and can only see the self interets instead of the whole picture... this is how we got seperated from God in the first place... and therefore need Christ to shed blood to reunite us back together...

Whatever happens, may more folks turn to Christ over there as a result. When we're all part of God's family, hopefully there'll be less bickering..., but wait, both the American north and south were Christians!!! Both worshipped the same God and read the same bible and still decide to kill each other over their differences...

Sigh..., may God's will be done I guess. South was into slavery..., there's no way the South can triumph over the north in the end I suppose. After Obama's win, lots of black folks are singing praises to God... few can believe this could happen... God's grace is indeed amazing.

Now, when it comes to Taiwan's north and south issues? Who's more right and who's more wrong? Which side is God more pleased with? I don't know. It's really hard to say. Both blue and green failed to govern righteously. We need a godly man to rule Taiwan. May God rise up that man... in the mean time, may God show people of Taiwan mercy... Read about Nehemiah directed the folks to work together to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. Will there be a Taiwanese Nehemiah soon? Hope so.
