Summary
The FBI searched former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, Florida, on Monday. Politico reported that the search was part of an investigation into the alleged mishandling of White House records, including potentially classified material. In The Daily Article for August 10, 2022, Dr. Jim Denison summarizes the search, asks if our system of government still works, and asserts that “the divisiveness of our day represents a strategic opportunity for followers of Christ.” For more on finding courage and serenity in the midst of storms, please see my latest article, “Trapped on ‘It’s a Small World’ and looking for lost nuclear bombs.”
