What an excellent post! You pretty much read between the lines and expressed exactly what I’m thinking. Praise the Lord!
Old habits die hard-I can’t seem to stop myself from keeping up with politics/current events, but I can go for longer and longer periods without getting emotionally involved, just an observer. More for being aware than for thinking that anything will change, unless for the worse. I’m at the “lift up thine eyes, thy redemption draweth near” stage.
