I love this truthfully encouraging quote from our (by which I mean Georgia’s) senator Raphael Warnock …
“A vote is a prayer about the kind of world we want to live in. And prayers are stronger when we pray together.”
As you may know, on December 6 there is an important senatorial runoff in my state of Georgia between Warnock and Herschel Walker.
I know that many who care not about facts will of course disagree, but Walker has shown himself to be a repeated liar (“I am a deputy!”), a horrendous hypocrite (“I am anti-abortion” while paying for multiple abortions for his lovers), a terrible father (his son says he was never there for him), “pro-family” (which means that he is against my being able to stay married to my husband Robert), “pro-life” which means he is against a woman’s right to have autonomy over her own body, an election denier (“Trump won” — of course Trump won, he groomed and endorsed you), etc, etc, etc.
Here is a link to an article from Georgia Public Broadcasting highlighting the two candidates’ stands on major issues …

May Georgians overwhelmingly dismiss Walker’s corrosive campaign and keep our Senator Warnock in D.C.
“Lord in your mercy, hear our prayers.”

I’m sorry Neal but that quote makes zero sense. Being that people DON’T think the same. This to me means nothing because it cancels out one person’s ideal world over another.

Thanks for the response, Matt. The quote resonated with me. I didn’t take the quote literally but as a creative and beautiful, almost literary way to imagine our voting. A cool metaphor.

I’ll drink to that – the quote I mean, and will use it when we have another election (hang in there, any day soon)! Fingers crossed that Georgia comes out on the side we are both rooting for.

My fingers are crossed!!! Neal have you ever read a book titled. One Person No Vote.by Carole Anderson? If you found the 1619 Project interesting this book is in a similar vein.

How/if you pray may change your own world, but how/if you vote WILL change everyone else’s.
