Bishop Budde is a truth teller. She did not waste her opportunity to speak truth to power in a respectful yet forceful manner, forceful in that she was on the solid foundation of human decency. It is really unfortunate that those who do not recognize that respect for decency come out of the woodwork to defend a man who breaks every norm of behavior that we expect from the leader of our country. Tony Perkins and Mike Johnson continue to be transactional players in the game of politics, but no one should take them seriously as really being concerned about the common good for the people of our country or our state.
Bob, thank you for writing an expanded understanding of the Right Reverend Budde’s sermon given this past Tuesday in Washington, D.C., directing her words to the newly inaugurated President Trump. I chose not to watch the event but saw and heard her sermon after and applauded her faith and courage. I feel a great majority of citizens support the Biblical references expressed in that sermon. Most of us have hearts of empathy for those who are disadvantaged but seek a better life, Americans and immigrants. How downright mean must a person/President be to want to separate families while sending illegals back to their countries?
So, I am repeating myself but get used to it. We are in trouble as a nation and it is self-induced. Bob, I remain so grateful to you for speaking truth to power for both state and national issues. Not sure how this will turn out but I do know standing and resisting this insanity has to be a first step. Thank you. Looking forward to your presentation on your latest book at our OLLI coffee March 5. All are welcome to join us at the Bluebonnet Library at 2:30.

Thank you, Jenny. You are very kind. And I am looking forward to being with your group in March!
Well said Bob and I will be buying a copy of Bishop Budde’s book as you suggested as a demonstration of my support for her.
I believe that Democrats are readers of the New Testament while Trump Republicans are focused on the Old one.
Thanks again for a wonderful article.
