I am all in favor of civility and I try to practice it. However we live in a fallen world, and polite faces can sometimes conceal the nastiest of minds. Defend the good and fight the evil, but always remember that good manners cost nothing and sometimes pay dividends.
And Then You Wake Up

They tried to get us fired, denied health care and placed under house arrest for refusing to be injected with experimental sera tainted with the bodies of murdered children.
They put us on domestic terrorist watch lists for buying bibles and MAGA hats.
They purged the military command of registered Republicans.
They burned down out cities and called it “mostly peaceful”.
They had a mobile abortion clinic in the parking lot of their national convention and proudly proclaimed the body count.
They sent swat teams to the homes of people who prayed at abortion clinics.
They kept thousands of republicans in solitary confinement under deplorable conditions while coercing them to sign exaggerated, pre-written confessions … for trespassing!
These people are our enemies, and it’s not easy to be gracious to one’s enemy … But God commands we do just that.
But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you,
that you may be children of your heavenly Father,
for he makes his sun rise on the bad and the good,
and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust.
~ Matthew 5:44-45
If your enemies are hungry, give them food to eat,
if thirsty, give something to drink;
For live coals you will heap on their heads,
and the LORD will vindicate you.
~ Proverbs 25:21-22
Oh Jesus, meek and humble of heart, make my heart like unto Thine!
