Good Morning, God,
The jury is still out about last night's debate winners and what it means, God. At least some people still wonder, because our juries about our politics aren't fair and impartial juries. In a court of law, our Constitution guarantees that we can be tired by a "jury of our peers," in order to have a fair trial.
However, in politics as in love and war, it seems that "all is fair" - and it is and isn't, depending upon what is said by whom and which "whom" hears it! Then, God, we have to have the "fact checkers" (and they have become the most sought after people in these debates!) to tell us what is truth and what is falsehood.
Gracious God, it is your fault, you know, that we wonder whether or not we can trust what anyone says these days: You gave us free will to act anyway we want and say anything we can come up with! But you also gave us the commandment not to lie, and Jesus said, "Let your 'yes' be 'yes' and your 'no' be 'no'."
We can do this, even in politics - if we try to live your way, God. May we?
In Jesus' name, Amen.
