Not as the world gives
by chuckofish

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
John 14:27
Do you need to preach truth to yourself today? This post addresses this: “I don’t know about you, but despite my best efforts not to get mired down in the election bruhaha, a sense of dread has seeped into my psyche as the day draws near. From political texts blowing up my phone to interminable campaign commercials zipping by as I fast-forward past them and even comic strips, I can’t escape the ever-present signs that the event is barreling down on us.”
“Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree.”
–Martin Luther

I try to remain philosophical. I will vote — that’s all I can do.
Great thoughts. I love the Luther especially 🍎
