I have attached below an article forwarded to me this morning from the Wall Street Journal. I find it compelling not because I am trying to be political, or am blind to the problems of this administration, but because of the way people have expressed their anxiety toward our President in our unprecedented and very troubled times. I agree with the author’s opinion, who served on John Kerry’s campaign staff in 2004.
I urge you to remember that not one person is responsible for all our troubles. Not one person can solve them. President Bush is not perfect, but he was right when he said we must all work together to make this nation right and safe and prosperous. And when evil and tragedy is out of our control, let us be on our knees, rather than throw stones. I daresay this is true in every aspect of our lives.
May God bless our new President as we Christian Americans come together and show the world that we are unified, strong and faithful to the tenets of liberty, justice, peace and opportunity for all in this great nation and the world. And when troubles come here and around the world that affect our lives, which they have and will under every administration, may we express our discontent with more grace and forbearance than we have seen in recent times. People all over the globe are watching how Christians participate in the political process, and can learn about Jesus in how we submit to our leaders with respect, challenge them with grace, and do all things in love, to the glory of the Creator of the world and Lord of all nations.
