Thank you for reflecting and praying instead of either freaking out or shouting as so many are doing. I’m sure it’s not in your nature to curse as I see so many doing on social media. We need calm, level heads about us these days. We need men and women who know God. I believe that we cannot look outside of ourselves for the Kingdom of God. We need to create it inside of ourselves before it will manifest itself in our natural world. Let’s pray too that enough people are on board with living Jesus’ life instead of screaming that Jesus is their savior while they attack the Capitol. God help us.
AMEN to everything you said. I continue to believe that prayerfulness and calm will bring us through this moment more effectively than anything else will. May God continue to support and bless you in your ministry.
Amen.
