You just said a whole lot of important things! I will try to find the time to listen to that interview.

I protect my peace by not focusing on the nastiness of the world. I keep informed, but I don't dwell on the negative. I sign petitions when appropriate, and write my Congress Critters from time to time. Mostly, I pray a lot, and remind myself that God is ultimately in control, none of the rot that goes on is news to Him, and He is the one I can always trust.
