Considering how hard I’ve found it to connect with those who voted opposite me, and so figure out what happened, I went to a workshop offered by Braver Angels (braverangels.org). The point: politicians and the media have a vested interest in dividing Americans. BA works to bring us together.

I hate, with a visceral hatred, when advertising emails tell me to "Hurry." Especially during the "holiday season," most of which contains Advent, the period of waiting.

I know with certainty that there is hope for the darkest of stories because the Light of the World has come. His name is Jesus, and He brings life to dead places, forgives sins, and heals the broken and wounded.
