We don’t have to live in fear even though the world is a scary and terrible place.

I remember who I am and prayerfully, Whose I am. That gives me strength and hope. If only for a time because of 'then my humanity'. And thus, the process begins again. "I got this, then--uh-oh, I'm gonna succumb."

Peace and health be to you.

Yet it certainly doesn't apply to Trump, does it?

In the U.S. (and other places) right now, it's hard to apply to anyone, actually.

With Trump "in charge," we're in for a lot of fear, a loss of power, love went out the window a few years ago and Trump is not of sound mind.

But thanks for the uplifting thought on a bleak Sunday morning.

Peace, sprinkleeninow.

Just 'cause I have my chosen Faith as a 'vehicle', don't mean I have no sessions of freaking out.

But then I recollect, and that peace that passes understanding washes over me.

Love you...
