I've been singing this song to myself all day long -
This is my Father's world.
O let me ne'er forget that though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the ruler yet.
This is my Father's world: why should my heart be sad?
The Lord is King; let the heavens ring! God reigns; let the earth be glad!

And yeah, I think I'll respond with some thoughts soon, but I want to think, pray, and not be so reactionary.

I'm pretty sure that Jesus would be down with universal health care, to use the common parlance. What would he say about the bill that just got passed?
