The English writer G.K. Chesterton summed up the human condition this way: 

“We’re all in the same boat, and we’re all seasick.”

The challenge for a Christian is to learn how to smile in the storms of life. 

Or as my beautiful wife Linda likes to say:  

“Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning how to dance in the rain.” 

No matter how the elections turns out, if we keep our eyes on Christ he will raise us up … to joy.

Take heart, because I have overcome the world - John 16:33
