In the years to come we will experience increasing levels of hostility and intolerence.
But my joy is trending up! Why is that?
Because I am even more clearly reminded to rely on God.
There is great joy in our daily bread - the unrestrained unfolding of God's plan.
While our culture asks us to compartmentalize Jesus - and keep Him far away from them -
We know that His power cannot be harnessed by ACLU donors or judicial nominees.
Praise....God!
I am encouraged and energized to share the Good News even more vigorously - and to not whine in the desert of our once great nation. This is the time to share Jesus.
Here is a great example, as reported by Angela Lu :

Excerpt:
After the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sided with the ACLU, the veterans group figured that the only way to allow the cross to stand was to swap the federal land the cross was on with private land owned by the group. The 9th Circuit ruled the compromise faulty, and the case was taken to the U.S. Supreme Court
In 2010, high court ruled 5-4 that the land swap was permissible, with Justice Anthony Kennedy writing, “The goal of avoiding governmental endorsement [of religion] does not require eradication of all religious symbols in the public realm.”
James 1:2-8
Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything."
