Here we are, November 3. Many things shaking, people running to voting booths for hope (not that I'm against voting in the least way). Foundations tested, priorities checked, double-checked, triple-checked.
One thing I have been slow to learn and given many doorways towards understanding: the solution to fear is not fearlessness... thats an idealistic bully who will trip you up and tie you down. The answer to fear is courage. The right choice in the midst of said fear. Where are the leaders calling us to sacrifice, to love righteousness? They are few and far between, and I'm thinking they would not be voted into place were that their message.

Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy. Fullfill all your will for this nation, and call us back to You.
I hear 3 simple words from the Living God, He whose Name is the Desire of the Nations, over and over again:
RETURN
TO
ME.
RETURN
TO
ME.
RETURN
TO
ME.
