It's really impacting me strongly right now front and center.

Showed the panel on CBS Overnight News. Rep. Jim Himes CT...

My heart for our Democratic representation. And for the true patriots namely Lt. Col. Vindman.

Lord God, protect them, impart Your wisdom so they speak truth in strength, scramble the tongues of those who choose to work iniquity. Keep our representatives standing and not succumb to weariness. Be merciful unto them and grant them Your ultimate and perfect favor. Amen.

I personally use meditations both from various sources and some of my own making to help bring a bit of peace to my over-active far-too-detailed mind.

Whether or not these go anywhere beyond the sound of my voice, I don't know. But, I do know they provide emotional relief for me when well repeated, as do mind quieting exercises.

Each of us needs every single tool we can have in our spiritual toolbox today just to survive the turmoil of Trump and the GOP.

Thereby, we are never "owned".

to my spirit. Civilization/civility is in reverse.

You are so correct in saying we will not be owned. The operative word being 'will'. We will ourselves to not have 'them' drag us down to their pit.

Reminds me of this---

1st we learned 'Peace on earth, goodwill toward men'

Then it was 'Peace on earth to men of goodwill'

Then in a German Bible the German that translates

'Peace on earth and goodwill toward those who allow themselves to be loved by God'

Sending His, taking on the form/nature of humanity at the Nativity/Incarnation.

Not proselytizing, only saying what is my voluntary and not-coerced belief for 71+ years.
