Thank you, Diana. As a German-American this is frightening to me. I could not imagine that American Christianity would bring this over us. I am angry with those leaders, like Franklin Graham or the catholic bishops. But I try to continue breathing and to continue writing.

Thank you for this pep talk! At TBC we experienced so much welcoming belongingness, feeling so hopeful going into November. The election was such a shock back to the realities of the powers and principalities. You replaced the nightly news in our house tonight. Improving Dinner!

Thank you, Diana. I lead a Bible study on Zoom tonight, and I am going to borrow your ideas as we grieve together and gather ourselves for what is coming. My group is interstate - including several from Arkansas, who are, I am sure, devastated. Thanks again. Peace.

Thank you. As it happens, Psalm 146 was one of the psalms for Morning Prayer on October 13. I missed church that day for health reasons, so read MP on my own. It really sat me up and helped prepare me for this week (even though at the time I was hoping very much for a different election).

Thank you. I think of Fran McKendrees song Times like These. Rise up in times like these. I put my faith in the one who brings the rising sun…

Thank-you for such a heart felt personal message. The will of God is that we persevere in our faith no matter what happens and it is so encouraging to be with other people who will not waver in standing strong for the love that never fails.

Thank you. I live in Canada and we are deeply concerned. Your video message helps. We are praying for you as our neighbours, and bracing for tariffs, and Russian invasion of our north. We use to count on our neighbours to help provide security to the Canadian north but I fear this is no longer a reality. Glad to be part of this community. Thank you Diana!
