Sanity has returned!  However, it may well take us decades to recover from the damage done when we re-elected a blind narcissist to unchecked power in 2024.  I suppose there should be some separation between church and state, but religious principles should never be completely ignored.  Neither should they be redefined by an egotist to suit his own purposes.  The Books of Wisdom, Proverbs, Sirach and Ecclesiastes should have alerted us to the amoral disaster of the last two years (and arguably the last decade entirely).  There are many obstacles our country should overcome, but I think we can now fully appreciate the old saying:  "The ends never justify the means."

Please remember what we've been told and join me in praying that our nation can regain and retain it's moral compass as well as it's standing as one of the world's most honorable nations:

"Happy those servants whom the master finds awake when he comes."

Prepare now.  Deny yourself and simplify.  Fast if you can.  Confess past transgressions and atone for them.  Pray to be delivered from evil as in the Lord's prayer.

To Ukraine - my heartfelt prayers are with you.  May the Lord be close to you.

Lord, I surrender my life to you.  This is no longer a world I want to be a part of, yet your will be done.
