From Whence Redemption Comes

It’s said that it is darkest before the dawn. If that’s true, the sun must be fixing to rise any moment now.

Torrential floods over here. Raging wildfires over there. Killer heat waves where it is normally cool. Weekly if not daily mass shootings. The lives of school board members and teachers threatened for holding the belief that teaching history should involve telling the truth about actual events. Judges in the highest court in the land ruling in ways that reflect the will of the dead, not the wishes and needs of the living.
