It is hard not to focus on this darnable race. Nothing deserves this much attention and certainly not a political match. I can remember the day when all politicians were to be suspect, “the man” we use to call them. But today we seem to hang our hopes on them. Don’t get me wrong, I fully understand what’s at stake in these races, the life and death issues, the morality that will or will not be upheld, the idea of America. I talked with my daughter again early this morning. She is reading Kings now and said it was “you know dad, kinda dry” and so she is supplementing with a Psalm. She then quoted from the one she read today, “the Lord is still in his holy temple; he still rules from heaven.” I thought how good it was that even this young she was still learning to think and see clearly. I thanked her and she said, “Thank David.” We went on talking, she got to school, I prayed for her and both of us signed off with love yous. I refilled my coffee cup and turned to the Psalm she had read. That verse ended with this, “He closely watches everything that happens here on earth. He puts the righteous and the wicked to the test…for God is good, and he loves goodness.”
