We visit, hopefully for the last time, the recent unpleasantness. But out of the ashes, we look again at the future. We re-center ourselves. Remember, nothing can thwart the plan of God for the ages. We just have to stomach some things as we wait. And as we wait, it is good to remember we have work do. A judgment of service awaits us. Let's try to focus on that eventuality as we encourage our Christian brothers and sisters in this time of decay.
