This morning, after Flake announced he'd support Kavanaugh

I thought all was lost with the nomination. I tried to figure out what still might be done and thought about calling all the GOP senators on the Judiciary yet again. But I had little hope of any success with that after what we witnessed yesterday.

The only hope I could find was my faith in God and my knowledge of God's tender mercy, and how the proud are brought low and the humble raised up over and over in the Bible. So I got on my knees and prayed about the amazing and courageous Dr. Christine Blasey Ford whose truthfulness and humility was so evident in her testimony yesterday, and the angry bully and hard-drinking Irishman who was so partisan, entitled, and evasive in his testimony. I prayed for God's truth and justice to prevail and that somehow the investigation that needed to be done would happen, and I prayed rather hopelessly that Jeff Flake would change his mind.

I thank God for this miraculous change and for the hope that has been restored that the truth will prevail.

I ought to have known better than to suppose I knew what mysterious plans were in store.
