"If the world is going to be renewed it must be renewed in sanity."
John Main, OSB
Fully Alive
I think when a leader professes to be a Christian, but then proceeds to take actions that increase the burdens of the old, the ill, the impoverished, or children needing a decent education, then he or she is neither. This is a time of learning, and re-learning for us all. Let us not despair, but rather tend to our lessons, and one another, with careful, loving obedience. A quote from Clarissa Pinkola Estes, is showing up with regularity, and I must include it here: "I urge you, ask you, gentle you, to please not spend your spirit dry by bewailing these difficult times. Especially do not lose hope. Most particularly because, the fact is – we were made for these times."
