No matter how you vote, you are welcome in our church. I just ask that you would commit to see politics thru Jesus & not Jesus thru your politics; that you would be curious about why your brothers & sisters see things differently. And that you would live humble, prayerful lives.

I keep thinking about Neil Postman’s warnings about what would happen when a nation’s news ceased being a public service done for the sake of informing the voting public and became a product. His warnings were dire, but he still underestimated its havoc on political discourse.

Oh when the veil of dreams has lifted And the fairy tales have all been told There's a kiss at the end of the rainbow More precious than a pot of gold. Thanks for the many, many laughs, #CatherineOhara - Rest in Peace.
