I wish this presidential election was not telling the story that our country is in the throes of divorce.
Divorce threatens when trust fails and a separateness of each side grows a larger and larger divide.
The movement of compromise is halted by one party or the other--or both.
Money becomes a fight. No progress is made in budgeting and prudence of spending.
Ideology marches in opposite directions with no respect for the other's heartfelt platform.
Meanness takes root.
If you are blissfully unaware of the rancor that is at the heart of our governance, I guess you should just stay where you are.
But if you feel called to look in on it, I hope you'll ask God if there is hope for us. Can divorce be prevented?
Can this marriage (of two parties governing and leading) be saved?
I don't know.
Throwing God out of schools and government so many years ago might not have been such a good idea.
If this is the result of "We don't need you, God, we can do it ourselves," I'm for calling Him back into the game.
