This afternoon, having come home exhausted, I napped a few minutes, got up and made some coffee, sat down and read this article. Peggy Noonan is a favorite writer of mine. She was a speechwriter for Reagan, and has opined conservatively (and beautifully) for the Wall Street Journal for years. So go grab a cup of tea or coffee (peach tea, Mamaladybug), settle down and follow the link.
OpinionJournal - Peggy Noonan
And after you've read the article, here's one more thing to savor: In the past few weeks, more believers have found their way to their knees to pray for the country than we've seen since post September 11th. Many prayed for a Bush victory, some prayed for a Kerry victory, most prayed for God's will for America. But the point is, many of Christ's people, who are called by His name, humbled themselves, prayed, and sought God's face, and in the process found themselves changed--finding the faults and turning away from them. Haven't I heard that somewhere? What's the rest of the verse? Oh, ye-a-h--IF they do that, "...then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and heal their land." Savor.
And Selah.
