He is risen indeed! Thank you for lifting up Tennessee for prayer, after our almost solid Republican House Legislature kicked out two Democrats for standing up for stronger gun control legislation. The third Democrat, Gloria Johnson, who was almost kicked out represents a district in Knoxville, not far from ours in Oak Ridge. Knoxville is one of my hometowns. We are seeing what happens when one party totally dominates the legislature. Their angry reaction is that of people incensed that their almost total authority was challenged, with no remorse (How dare they!). I am an independent in my approach to politics, but when there are only two choices, my husband and I usually (lately always) find ourselves voting Democrat. Our nation does need prayer, that all of us learn to listen to each other, in hopes that we can learn to live with each other in peace. May we Christians learn to be salt and light, showing the love of Jesus to a hurting world!
