Besides all the devils and demons showing up for Halloween, we're hearing the word EVIL showing up in news reports and talking heads.

Our politics have been woven into a holy war with terms like ANTICHRIST and SATAN and the END TIMES.

This isn't humanity's first brush with the DEVIL and ARMAGEDON. Mankind has been on this precipice before.

Is there a Satan behind this? Does evil exist like an entity? Or is it more like a virus of hate or a harbinger of doom? Let's peer into the darkness and see what we believe...

Domestic violence is violence that happens in the home, in the family, where we ought to be safe. It touches all lives. Some directly as victims. Some as family or friends of a victim or abuser. And it may be someone who shows up at choir or bridge or in the school parking lot with a bruise or wound or broken spirit.

It may be wives, and it may be husbands. Or children. Violence in a home is a darkness that dims the whole community. Our culture is still not comfortable with calling it out. Religion continues to uphold the dominance of men in relationships--not just in leadership, but in OBEDIENCE.

We will all have stories. We're going to review the signs and become familiar with what we can do and with community resources.

Yes! This Sunday is National Elephant Day!
We could spend a little time remembering Republicans we've loved, which would be sweet and maybe we will...

But it's the old saw about "the elephant in the room" that we're going to chew on: 𝒂𝒏 𝒐𝒃𝒗𝒊𝒐𝒖𝒔 𝒎𝒂𝒋𝒐𝒓 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒃𝒍𝒆𝒎 𝒐𝒓 𝒊𝒔𝒔𝒖𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒑𝒆𝒐𝒑𝒍𝒆 𝒂𝒗𝒐𝒊𝒅 𝒅𝒊𝒔𝒄𝒖𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒐𝒓 𝒂𝒄𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘𝒍𝒆𝒅𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒈.

We know they're there. But maybe we don't really understand how common elephants are in our rooms--our lives, our friends, our city, our nation. Otherwise, we might actually talk about them!
