How do we respond to a world coming apart at the seams? I don't know but ...

 Heard a threat that if Trump wins there will then be round-the-clock rioting.  People willing to force their views on other people.  This is no longer America   And nobody is fighting back.  But how should anyone fight back?  I remember the story of the town, forget where, small town somewhere in the Midwest I think, where men of the town lined the streets when they were expecting a protest march to come through.  they were wearing guns where they could be seen.  They stood along the street.  No rioting occurred.   I picture that.  

And I picture something like Armies of the Lamb, where Christians come out to line the streets wearing T shirts saying "I kneel only for God" and doing just that, lining the streets on their knees and genuinely praying for hours on end for peace and justice, real peace, real justice according to God's will, which isn't going to be much like that of BLM and Antifa.  

We should already be praying for hours on end anyway.   

Then I found a worship song going through my head that I hadn't heard in a long time and couldn't remember some of the words so I looked it up.  Of course it's got the usual pop treatment I really don't like in hymns and worship songs, with hoked up human emotion instead of letting the music itself create the feeling in the listener but oh well it's a nice song and I like the fireworks in the video that accompany it:

[LATER EDIT:  Woopsie, got to add a caveat here.   Just because it was going through my head and it's pleasant is probably not a good enough excuse to post it.  Listened to it again and it's one of those songs that doesn't name the Savior or the One it;s about which leave it open to all kinds of distorted interpretations.  Better to find a hymn that clearly addresses God the Father and Jesus Christ,  but I'm not going to take it down yet, just add this caution.  

========================================

Oh and I figure those who go out to line the streets in either scenario, those in the groups that are particularly vulnerable to the coronavirus anyway, should have arranged access to Hydroxychloroquine in case they get symptoms, or should even be taking it prophylactically.  See:  https://watchpraystand.blogspot.com/2020/07/hydroxychlorophone-another-victim-of.html
