I feel like there are no "undecided" people around, and giving my opinion just turns into another argument that raises my blood pressure and tempts me toward extremely uncharitable thoughts (and words). It's gotten so bad, though, that I can't even watch the news for fear of what my young kids will see.Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06302762936883869228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18842286.post-48967627497727290762012-09-23T09:31:42.561-05:002012-09-23T09:31:42.561-05:00Thank you for this, Father.
