Emotions have been running today. Fear of the future, at a
time when faith would help. Bad news about friends fighting diseases. More quiet prayer requests for many issues – including
mine. A world either falling apart or overwhelmed and aggravated by inadequate, incompetent, or biased
news reporting in the sudden emergence of
the 24-hour news cycle and its myrmidon, social media.
But these are just symptoms of what’s underneath: it is a sense
of something coming. Something coming our way – down a little dirt road through
the dusty countryside. But just over the next hill, so we can’t see it.
But it is coming.
