I had a meeting today in Orange City. The Board of Supervisors meeting that is held every Tuesday. I had to be at the Courthouse at 9:30. Usually, the meetings begin at 9:00. Due to a couple of factors, it began a little later. Fine with me!
These days, I'd like to think I'm more calm........sometimes! On the way to OC, I was listening to 96.5. I forget what song was playing at the moment; I want to say it was "Speechless," by Staven Curtis Chapmen. Just then, by Perkins Corner, I was overcome.
Election.....I don't want to exclude/include and denomnation here, because I'm tired of debates. I've grown up knowing about this idea. I even, without unstanding, believed that God, in His perfect love and justice chose His children be time. And I still do.
But, now, I'm beginning to understand, just barely. And it's almost too much to take in.
I have the comfort and assurance that what I believe is real. I know this. I am His. I always was.
But, now, the world almost looks darker then before. The reality of our brokeness is all around.
This world needs Jesus.
So, I guess, the thought of God chosing His Own is comforting, and yet unfathomable. And, if I don't stop here, I'll be in over my head.

While some songs are said to be 'fluffy' and meaninless, I'm thankful that I was listening to 96.5 on the way.
