Post election

I don't know about any of you but I am so glad this election is over. I am sure that there will be arm chair quarterbacks who will debate ad infinitum about what went right and what went wrong for their candidates. I would like to propose a sabbath from political discussions for at least one day. Instead let us focus on what we can do to bring about healing in a hurting world, peace with justice, and most of all sharing the blessings of grace that have been given each one of us. The presidential campaign has gone on too long and has been so negatively run that it has done more to split and polorize people than to speak to issues that we are facing as a nation. It is time to cease and become the great nation that we can be.
Join me in this cause for at least one day. I would propose that this Sunday be a day of Thanksgiving and healing. For one day let us not talk politics for one day. Maybe it could catch on and we could take a sabbath from political statements and work towards becoming more involved with our families, our churches, synagogues, temples, and even to spend time enjoying this world God has created for us.
We could start early and spread the idea.
