Being inspired has been my recent experience with studying history, including the historical narratives from your book The Spirit of Justice.
While our present situation is disturbing, and the prospect of the next four years is discouraging, I look to victories in history to inspired my outlook for our future.
I have been writing on my blog and posting to social media perspectives on our times, including trying to encourage people to have zero-tolerance for racism and nonsense within their circles of influence.
For the past couple of weeks, we've been preparing for our annual Christmas outreach through the church I pastor. I've been reviewing requests for help, talking with people who have made inquiry on the telephone, working with my team to purchase gifts and doing all the things involved with trying to help people.
We will be delivering food boxes and gifts to individuals in their homes, as well as supporting children and youth in crisis situations. We will also be supporting 700 incarcerated women through a prison ministry, and their partners, whose director is a member of our church.
Yesterday my 88-year-old father, who is also a minister, accompanied me to a local men's shelter to do a chapel service. I spoke to about 75 men, prayed with about 10 men who chose Christ as Savior, and give them a copy of one of my devotional books.
So these activities have helped to refocus me on the power I have to make a difference in people's lives. This is where I choose to expend my energy.
Thanks for writing and sharing this!

Ok Ignorance and enablers have put us in the current situation where a liar, criminal, and insurrectionist was elected to the highest office in our land. (https://www.bryanhudson.com/2024/12/racism-matter-of-tolerance-or-zero.html)
