Continuing the thoughts from yesterday. I had another one — thought that is.
I am thinking of our world of politics.
I am thinking of all the people who fret about the situations our President has created in our nation.
And yes, I am thinking the loud silent voices of those too cautious, about their own reputations and agendas, to speak out.
I do know that some of my readers may be champions of Donald Trump. And that is certainly your choice.
It is not a choice I understand.
However, that being said, our national pride lives with our right to our differences of opinion. And I am the first one to believe that such differences can make for a whole and healthy environment.
Regardless of what I think.
Dammit!
This thought , I offered yesterday from Cynthia Bourgeault, fills my heart with great hope in the midst of all things different:
“Could it be that this earthly realm, not in spite of but because of its very density and jagged edges, offers precisely the conditions for the expression of certain aspects of divine love that could become real in no other way?
This idea gives me hope because I have great faith in a very present and active God in the realm of all things earthly.
And I choose to think -- believe, have faith -- that what our nation is experiencing, in the last few weeks, is God’s ability to smooth out and adjust some of the jagged edges; that have so clearly disrupted the core values of our historical government of "democracy."
It is my faith that God has invaded the hearts and minds, of some of our elected leaders, with a hidden wisdom that is emerging with a bold willingness to speak — act — against the bullying habits of the President.
And so, like Peter who spoke on the day of Pentecost, God's Spirit is on the move in those leaders who have chosen to stand up and speak.
Thanks Be To God.
