So, I thought I'd be okay by now. But I find myself more sad with each passing day. Maybe you've felt it too, since that Tuesday night in early November when we watched our fellow citizens vote our nation away.
It was just an election. We've had them before. We'll have them again. (I hope.)

It wasn't just our loss, but Western Civilization's last gasp as well.
For the first time since 325 AD, Western Civilization is no longer Christian. Christendom, the idea of a Christian kingdom encompassing the West, is finally, irrevocably dead.

If Christ tarries, we would do well to look back to those men and women of Christian History who faced a pagan culture before us. Those saints of the first 300 years of the Church can teach a lot to those of us living in the last days of that same Eklesia.
