My friend Rev. Michelle Ingalls sent me this quote by Father Thomas Keating. Such a beautiful truth stated by a beautiful and wise man. Let us keep that in mind when we meet people of different cultures, ethnicities, and gender preferences.

GOD loves us all. Who are we not to love one another. Remember this idea during this election year. Which candidate lifts people up, not tear them down? Which one is for ALL the people, not just a few rich ones. Which candidate is willing to take away a woman’s rights, the LGTBQ rights, or the elderly’s pension and social security? Read the 2025 Heritage Report and see how our freedoms will gradually be taken away with one of the candidates.

Our FREEDOM is on the line here. I am not willing to live under an authoritarian government when democracy is the heart beat of our country and our Founders vision.

We just watched the movie “American President,” and found it delightful as always. I love the quote, “Look to the CONTENT of His/Her CHARACTER, as a guide for choosing the right President.

Love one another, serve one another, be kind to one another, lift people up with your words and actions, and make ALL people your friends. Judge with Righteous Judgement.

‘MY PRAYER FOR MY COUNTRY’                                                                                by Dr. Ernest Holmes, founder of Religious Science

“Believing in the Divine destiny of the United States of America and in the preservation of liberty, security, and self-expression, I offer this, my prayer for my country:

I know that Divine Intelligence governs the destiny of the United States of America, directing the thought and the activity of all who guide its affairs.

I know that success, prosperity, and happiness are the gifts of freedom, and are the Divine heritage of everyone in this country.

I know that success, prosperity, and happiness are now operating in the affairs of every individual in this country.

I know that Divine guidance enlightens the collective mind of the people of this country, causing it to know that economic security may come to all without the loss of either personal freedom or individual self-expression.

I know that no one can believe or be led to believe that freedom must be surrendered in order to insure economic security for all.

The All-Knowing Mind of God contains the answer to every problem which confronts    this country.

I know that every leader in this country is now directed to this All-Knowing Mind and has the knowledge of a complete solution to every problem, and each is compelled to act upon this knowledge to the end that abundance, security, and peace shall come to all.

And I know that this spiritual democracy shall endure, guaranteeing to everyone in this country personal liberty, happiness, and self-expression.

And so it is. Amen.”
