On January 28th this year while in Wauchula Florida we attended a Gathering of Nomads at our RV camp ground. There was praise and worship, a 10 minute message. Then we were asked to come up with a “I will” statement that we would start doing. Mine was
“I will stop and think before I speak to myself 1st and then to others.”
I say that because it reminds me of your message today.
I loved this post. I shared it with a politically active group of friends. We have had many talks about building bridges and finding commonalities among groups. This really brings that home. Thank you for writing it.
The ability to nuance a point is dead. We can’t see beyond the person making the point. Detailed thinking is gone. But then again, major leaders don’t do a good in being an example of nuance. May God give us brains and grace to use them.

Test everything; retain what is good I Thessalonians 5:21
Maybe that’s where Reagan got, “Trust but verify”?
This is gold.
I read your post this morning. It appears our heads are in the same place on this topic. Thanks Brian.
