Waiting is something that does not come naturally. Waiting is, however, necessary. Most things in life require waiting. We watch from our bubble at the other bubbles. Inside, we see our neighbors and colleagues living their sheltered lives. How will we ever understand each other if we remain in our bubbles? Some of the bubbles want the entire world to be Christian. The Jewish and Muslim Bubbles have a different idea. The Bubbles who want the world to follow Christ expect them to follow in the manner that they do. The Christian Nationalists have a particular idea of this type of Christianity.

Violence and fiery rhetoric have become commonplace when describing the political party we are not a member of. Many Bubbles have become inflamed with their own peculiar doctrine. They believe that they are on a mission from God to destroy all those who do not see the world as they do.

We wait for the promise of the human family. Not poking each other’s eyes out until we are all blind. Peacemakers are coming. Many are here, and more are on the way.

‘It does not have to be this way,’ the Preacher said. ‘God did not intend the constant fighting,’ the Preacher continued. ‘The Peacemaker is hunted now but not always,’ the Preacher promised. ‘God loves all people,’ the Preacher noted with a smile. ‘We are hidden in the Woods now, but not for long,’ the Preacher said. ‘The brokenhearted will be made whole and nothing will hurt or destroy,’ the Preacher promised.
