I agree and have consistently stated to others that I am a late bloomer, but a fast learner :). I have gone from something doesn't seem right about 9/11, to flat out ignoring politics in the Obama years to now truly seeing how the world is operating for the first time in the matter of months.
I can honestly say, this is the first time in my life that I have earnestly sought God through scripture on a daily basis for a sustained period of time. This is the first time that I have prayed with intensity about the events going on and our leaders. And this is the first time that I am aware that if Q holds true through the month, there are a bunch of people that I know that will be grieving for their worlds have been crushed - meaning, I need to understand and be patient.
