I retired almost five years ago and was silly enough to think that life would be trouble-free (or trouble-less).

I retired almost five years ago and was silly enough to think that life would be trouble-free (or trouble-less). Instead, family matters took a serious turn and the weight of it all left me physically and emotionally broken. I decided one day to pray; what the hell, what harm would it cause? I bought a bible and began reading aloud from it every day and that act alone soothed and comforted me. I took an online bible class and even though the earthly troubles were still there, my perspective was changing. My faith sustained me through the pandemic and the riots of 2020. I managed to conquer many fears during that time and I still learn more and more each day.
People flee Godless governments. In 1989, we celebrated the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Look at what a world without faith has brought us. We can't even define ourselves anymore without getting into a heated argument or worse. Our country is filled with powder kegs from many different sources; all waiting for the chance/opportunity to explode. Our cities are falling; even our countrysides are scary with drug addiction rampant.
Perhaps, instead of ___History Months, we should have Pray Your Way Through The Day Month. God is working; ignite something positive.
I like it, Religious History Month. Schools could teach the history of different religions and the importance of faith in society. They could highlight religious leaders throughout history. Some will push back saying that religious history is violent and has had a lot of problems. Those problems are rooted in the people's pride and greed, not in God or the teachings of the Bible or other religious texts. If the focus is on God, charity, gratefulness, forgiveness and love of God and others.
