I wrote this several months ago on March 26 while piloting a flight to St. Louis on a two day trip. I did a lot of soul-searching on that flight and felt that I needed to put this on paper:

“Lord, please bestow on me strength and clarity during the next few months. Give me peace, love, and wisdom. Please bless the work of our volunteers and give Janet confidence and peace also during the busy, demanding months to come. Please give me the courage to stand up for my values and make God-pleasing, wise decisions for the constituents of the district. Bless our communities and our state, and do not abandon our nation in this time of need. Keep our campaign upbeat and fun. No matter the final outcome, please give us a strong representative who truly will be a voice for the will of the people.”
