I watched Joe Biden and slept 6 hours straight with no angst, hopeful for America.

I remembered Joy Reid’s serenity and huge smile. I also laughed at Nicole Wallace’s remark that “Donald Trump is a gold toilet.” But more importantly I could feel the passion of soul battle remarks of Loida Nicolas Lewis, quoted by Christina Oriel in Asian Journal.

All is right by my America that I love! Vote, vote, vote and fire with your vote the tenant in the current White House heading a billion dollar criminal enterprise with 8-9 indicted felons and unindicted felons in his cabinet and campaign organization. Vote as our democracy is on the line. I already requested for my ballot.

And, I texted my priest/friend after realizing what I am receiving in terms of great reads and great homilies for 165 days straight of digital mass at Holy Family Catholic Church, Artesia:

Fr. A, I woke up thinking of: Santo Nino, to the devotees, is more than an icon, it is the heart’s portal to a divine connection, a path steeped in faith, a path where devotees expect miracles. Without the faith, the divine connection can not be experienced. With devotion and faith, one receives the invisible lifeline to the Lord, the son of God who keeps us animated through the Holy Spirit. Much like the fervor and the love of the saints, the devotees’ outpouring devotion and faith towards the Santo Nino become their compelling sources of light. A light away from darkness where losses are multiplied and life is grimly difficult, chaotic and bankrupt in direction and purpose. The Santo Nino is their North Star pointing them to God’s love for all His creations. No longer wanting to find that divine connection, but hearts linked to Him.
