Looking to the Kingdom: Of Elections, Division, and Reasons to Hope

November 15, 2016 / Kiersti Giron / Downton Abbey, faith, spiritual warfare

  It was Election Day, and my Journalism students entered the classroom vigorously debating the merits—or lack thereof—of the U.S. presidential candidates.   I told them that it was fine to have opinions, but they needed to be civil to each other.
