In the face of hatred and violence, what can we Christians do? First of all, we must pray. It is up to us to turn every tragic news story and image that touches us into a cry of intercession to God. Then, we must help others. But there is moreโthere is witness, our call to remain faithful to Jesus, who conquered evil by loving from the cross.
Listened to a book on the 30 Years War and am reminded that games about historical and fantasy wars never include the decentralized nature of premodern conflicts. So much gets decided by individual players who stall, change sides, or fight personal wars within the larger conflict
We are having a significant rainstorm today. Lots of rain and high winds. I keep hearing fire trucks go by, so itโs definitely dangerous. Hope all the people affected are staying safe
