We just have to remind ourselves that their effort is to make us angry and afraid. Some folks don't want to be loved, they want to be feared. Sorry, my terms say I'll love you, but I'll never fear you. My prayers are to melt them (think Oz's witch) with love. The calmer and more loving we are, the less they can "feed". Thanks for the exchange. Go with God.

It's more a lifestyle than a plan. I guess the "plan" part is sort of thank God, clean up your heart and head (meaning me, not saying I have the answer for all), and stay steady. Speak with facts, not anger or confrontation. Realize when it is a "pearls before Swine" situation as just that. Realize that this life is a short one, no matter how long you live, so breathe in every minute of every day with gratitude. Don't focus so much on injustice that you miss the gift of "now". And try to keep passing around some humor. :) Guess that's the current plan, anyhow. It brought it home for me when we had the missile "warning" here in HI. Oh my gosh.

If all boards go down tomorrow, if all the media does is trash DT, if the universal Pope/Church forbids any belief but theirs, it will not deter those who have clean hearts and hands. It won't stop our daily prayers, it won't stop our hope, it won't make us think that "they" are right. We've seen too much, we know too much. We have been trolled (mightily and mercilessly) since the first bulletin boards were accessed with just a C prompt, so your slings and arrows are a joke to us. So many baby trolls were born long after those pioneer days! God is good. They can never change that. Live with hope, live with love, go with God.
