Extremely well put, dearest brother in Christ! I couldn't agree with you more.
Perhaps you are right that the rabble will take us all down in the end. But it seems to me nothing in the reality I experience ever moves in a "straight line." So as far as I can tell, the jury's still out on this question.
Meanwhile, I pray to God — for spiritual renewal, for another Great American [Re]Awakening! There have been two major ones in the history of America, going back to the colonial period; and each changed the course of the subsequent American future. The first fed the spirit that culminated in the American Revolution; the second fed the spirit that culminated in the abolition of slavery....
Both seemed intended to form "a more perfect union."
Be of good cheer, dearest brother in Christ! For Christ Logos reigns eternally, from the Beginning to the End and all "places" in between.
