​We’ve probably all had the experience of being around someone who constantly harasses and berates others. One day, after this had happened to me a number of times, I said, “That’s enough!” The behavior stopped that very day, at least toward me.

I feel the people of the US have just said “that’s enough!” The behavior won’t stop, but the people have made it clear that enough is enough. 

I respect the Democrats’ diligence. 

I respect the Conservatives’ awareness that the president isn’t even conservative. Those who have remained conservative see it this way. 

“His policy positions and actions reject traditional Republican principles and the US constitutional order.

He does not promote post-Reagan free-market fiscal conservatism. His tariffs choke off global trade.

He uses taxpayer dollars to take government stakes in private companies, which smacks of socialism.

His approach to Russia and Ukraine moves away from historical Republican values. It shifts support and financial incentives toward Putin rather than standing up for democratic alliances.

His willingness to challenge election results, pressure institutions, and use or excuse political violence to stay in power, represent a departure from the rule of law and the constitutional framework.”

He’s made a mockery of our values as a nation. We now have the opportunity to wrestle them back. We need political health. Balance. 

Christians, this is also our opportunity to remember that “evangelical” means “in keeping with the gospel and its teachings.” What a great time to dig into the teachings of Jesus, now more than ever.

​I hope we will all take this opportunity to run the race set before us…and run it really well.
