Pondering in Silence


This line from my Psalm prayers this morning (4:4), suggests that I at least delay expressing what disturbed my sleep last night. "When you are disturbed, do not sin; ponder it on your beds, and be silent."

So with the mid-term elections just three months away and plenty of political chaos afoot, if the Democrats do well, will be told that it was because of voter fraud? Or if the Republicans do well, will we be told it was because of Russian interference? Have we so undermined our confidence in trust and even truth that we will not believe the evidence of those who guard the integrity of our elections, no matter how conclusive? If this sort of scenario unfolds, what’s to become of our democracy? What can we expect in the run-up to the 2020 general election?
