And from what I can see, God has treated them pretty well.

of burning in Hell (stole that from Ron Reagan Jr) so I would say that they are doing fairly well, all in all.

I sing in my church choir with some incredibly wonderful and kind people. I will miss seeing them, being together in fellowship and being uplifted by the experience. The music we make lifts others up too.

Most people have something that does that for them though it doesn’t always mean church. It’s a hard fucking world and I think if you are lucky enough to find something that offers comfort and consolation to make it through not just for yourself but for others then you should do it.

It’s also the reason that I serve on my town and county Dem committees and have done so for the last 17 years, as long as I have been posting on this board. The rallies that I have gone to were filled with people of faith. I have marched against war with priests and nuns and pastors of all faiths.

It’s late and I am not even sure where I am going with this but I am heartsick and exhausted and worried because the world feels like it’s crumbling around me. I am struggling financially, physically, spiritually and I have now lost my job for the foreseeable future.

I hope your spirit finds consolation somewhere and I will continue to be a person of faith. And a Democrat. Good night all.
