I couldn’t sleep, so I watched his speech again. And then I made this because, honestly, I’m going to need the reminder. Maybe you will, too. #KeeperOfTheFlame

Oh amen.

So many people have lost their fear of the Lord. When we mock, relentlessly judge & make jokes about people who are suffering so we can maintain our political take, we’ve forgotten there’s a God in the heavens who hears. Humility is recognizing we are all just one disaster from losing everything.
