There was unique civility to this election cycle. Some of the comments made in previous elections by candidates and high-profile community members were very destructive and detrimental to the process of seating our officials to high office and the health of the community.
SPEAKING OF FAITH: With his strength, power, and gifts – we can overcome.
The Holy Spirit helps us to be wise and remain strong—when we ask Him.
