"Do not put your trust in princes, nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help. His spirit departs, he returns to his earth; in that very day his plans perish. Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God, who made heaven and earth, The sea, and all that is in them; who keeps truth forever, who executes justice for the oppressed, who gives food to the hungry. The LORD gives freedom to the prisoners."
- Psalm 146:3-7

Today I was reminded of this quote by the great Winston Churchill (or at least attributed to him - I don't have it sourced yet):
"A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on."This is going to be a rough year. Hang tight, people, use your God-given discernment, and pray for our country.
P.S. The sad part is that these days every year is an election year.

One fun thing about politicians is that they so effortlessly make the rest of us seem so pure.

A lie travels round the world, while truth is putting on her boots.
