"A pen is to me as a beak is to a hen." ~J. R. R. Tolkien
As Christians, we aren't following Trump, we are following Christ, and if Christ is finished using Trump, then we should thank him, but continue to follow our maker where He is leading. Biden will be in the White House come January 20th, and we should prepare accordingly by waiting on the Lord...
...even though 2020 had its nasty sections, when I look past the blood and bruise, past the curses and cries, this was a year where I grew as a human, as a woman, and most importantly, as a Christian.
Basking in the goodness and warmth of the wonderful evening, you're ready to call it a night and head home--when your pocket buzzes. It's the U.S. House Speaker, and he wants you to meet him at a confidential location ASAP. Curious and not a little concerned, you arrive to find a whole third of the House there and listening to the House Speaker, who is on a platform, eloquently discussing a subject that the entire room seems to agree with. You find a seat and begin to listen. Then blink once and stare for a moment. Then for two moments.
Christmas music is one of the greatest gifts to mankind, right up there with the Reason for the season and dark chocolate. It has a magical sensation about it that just lifts one's spirits with its sleigh bells, festive harmonies and references to winter wonderlands and fireplaces and baby Jesus all wrapped up in silk (realistically speaking more like rough strips of cloth but silk sounds more lyrical)...
"Help me!” She mouthed urgently. James had nudged Calvin and nodded towards Snow. Calvin’s face lit up and he waved to her enthusiastically.

If death is sleep, Hamlet muses, then there will doubtlessly be dreams in that sleep. And if we have nightmares here, what is to stop death-dreams from being one everlasting horror that causes a cold sweat to break out on our cold brow and our lifeless heart to pound in terror for all eternity??
Representative Cortez is partially correct; just because someone is young does not mean they are stupid. Representative Cortez, however, can no longer pull the “youngest member of the House” claim when someone hurts her feelings, for a new youngest member has taken that title...
With this knowledge, I can say with confidence that if America elects Trump, praise the Lord, His will be done, or if America elects Biden, praise the Lord, His will be done (1 Thessalonians 5:18).
Their laughter is contagious, they see beauty in the plain, Their lives are more than precious, in a drought they are rain
"I cannot believe I'm up here chasing a fairytale!" I yell, knowing that the only reason I'm talking out loud is to keep the slowly growing fear in my stomach at bay. I hike my drenched hoodie over my drenched head and keep plodding along, hoping to find either my guide or a cave or even a mountain lion to put me out of my misery.
