That being said, I will not despair, because we know what Jesus told us: in this world we will have troubles. But He also said, "The Father is with me. I’ve told you all this so that trusting me, you will be unshakable and assured, deeply at peace. In this godless world you will continue to experience difficulties. But take heart! I’ve conquered the world.*”
So use the time He's given us to do good, obey His commandments, and strive to do His will for you.
"Don’t waste your time on useless work, mere busywork, the barren pursuits of darkness. Expose these things for the sham they are. It’s a scandal when people waste their lives on things they must do in the darkness where no one will see. Rip the cover off those frauds and see how attractive they look in the light of Christ.
"Wake up from your sleep,
Climb out of your coffins;
Christ will show you the light!
Climb out of your coffins;
Christ will show you the light!
"So watch your step. Use your head. Make the most of every chance you get. These are desperate times!**"
* John 16:33 (MSG)
** Ephesians 5:16 (MSG)

If you or I did what Hillary did, intent or not, we'd be having a long vacation in Leavenworth round about now. Obviously the rules are different for the ruling class.
True enough, sir. True enough.
Thank you for the encouragement, Rev. Paul. We sure o need it!
You're welcome, ma'am.
