Musings

My heart breaks as I know that we are reaching a point where some relationships will be fractured beyond repair. Many got there long before now with others, a few felt that way about their relationship with me, but I have tried to hold off, to listen and understand.

It was hard four years ago. It will be hard now, but the boldness, the willingness of some to share their true feelings, provide deeper clarity, and will bring me peace as I say goodbye to relationships that are not healthy for me, or for my family.

Differences of opinion are fine. Conversation is healthy. Growth can be amazing.

Hatred, bigotry, idolatry. They are not ok with me, and I will protect my heart and mind from them, and that may mean stepping away from one another.

I won't cast stones, but I will cast away lines that hold me back.

Blessed be.

My Tweets, Nov. 7th.

No matter which way you voted, the key now is to work together to restore the greatness of our Nation. I'm willing, are you?

Did your side win? Do not gloat or posture - reach out your hand and say to another "WE can do this together."

Did your side lose? Do not stonewall or pout. Reach out your hand and say "WE can do this together."

We have spent too many years as a nation divided. You want to know why we're in some of the messes we're in? Because we chose to be.

By refusing to work together, by taking a position and stating "My way or the highway" we're getting nowhere.

So I ask of all of us - be open and receptive to new ideas. Work as a team, we share common goals! Not identical, but similar.
