When chronically unserious people are also deadly serious about their ill-formed and misguided agendas, and are given serious power, there are serious consequences. God help us.
Once when I was praying, asking God to bless my children, I felt the sense that God was asking me to bless God’s children, too.
So, wringing my hands about this Administration online doesn’t do much. What does it mean for us to actively bless God’s children, and by this I mean all people, when so many are either actively cheering on the weaponization of all of our worst instincts or are ambivalent about it?
How often can serious people of good faith look around and say, in case you didn’t know, none of this is normal? Every week there is a new low.
It’s not enough to post about it online. It’s not enough to say God help us. But I’ll still do both. And I will try to be wise about other steps.
