November 8

It's been a contentious day. We've made many mistakes through the course of this election season, and all of us will --in one way or another-- suffer the consequences of putting not just one but two unsavory candidates on the ballot. We can rant and rave and demonize 'the other side' all we want, but we all bear a measure of responsibility; we've all played a role in creating the division that plagues our society.

Still, one truth remains, and Brady served as a visual reminder of that truth while he filled his lemonade cup at Costco tonight:

He found that cape this afternoon and asked me to fasten it around his neck. I didn't think much of it at the time, but there's a powerful message in it that I've seen repeated several times today: man-made kingdoms will come and go. Governments will rise and fall. Leaders will lead -- and fail to lead. But even amid the turmoil, God is --and will remain-- on His throne.
