This Sunday Doug and I will be pulling up a couple of stools, dialoging about the election, and sharing our hopes for the church in the midst of our national division. We will be praying out of Ps 72:1-4 –

Give your love of justice to the king, O God,

and righteousness to the king’s son.

2 Help him judge your people in the right way;

let the poor always be treated fairly.

3 May the mountains yield prosperity for all,

and may the hills be fruitful.

4 Help him to defend the poor,

to rescue the children of the needy,

and to crush their oppressors.
