Hello and greetings. I appreciate you joining me today.

I've been promising you for a good while, several days now, that I would respond regarding the elections.

I've been, number one, extremely busy, like many, but I've also been doing a lot of prayer and processing.

I tend to not respond as quickly as some to events like this. I like to wait. I like to think.

I like to spend a lot of time just with the Lord. And I also like to see what

others are saying and just let it all simmer in me like a good stew. And then when I feel like

it's right, give the response. And I apologize for saying, well, it'll be out tomorrow. Well, it'll be out tomorrow.

But thank you for your patience. So first of all, let me just say, I think all of us in times like

this, you know, we need to just take a deep breath, sit back, and just humble ourselves before the Lord and say,

okay, Lord, where are we? What did we accomplish? What happened? Did we make some mistakes?

If so, we want to learn from those. I think all of us as leaders need to posture ourselves

in a position of humility. None of us have it all together

and have everything figured out. So all of these things are good to do in order to really position

ourselves to hear from the Lord and from Holy Spirit. And that's what I've been trying to do.

And I know many have.

I've heard some really good responses. So I know people are doing that.

The first thing I want to do is just give a recap to look back in order to give us perspective,

look back on what our goals are as we pray for our nation.

And we reiterated these often, and I will continue to reiterate them often.

But our goal is to see America restored back to our founding principles

and the purpose and destiny that God had in mind when he raised up this nation so that we can re-engage in that destiny.

And that is very linked.
