Maybe there doesn’t even NEED to be a fuss here.
We don’t take our glory in where we live, at least not if we are wise.
We take our glory in WHOM we live. And that would go to Connecticut or anywhere else in New England just as much as if it were in the most “conservative” place on earth whatever that might happen to be.
And there does seem to be some snobbery going around in FR. I just rebuked Lurker for gun snobbery. And there’s locale snobbery.
I think we need to come round to a viewpoint that it’s God first, everything else second.
We rejoice in the LORD !
