Oh, I feel like a fool, more silly than prodigal. Ivan Y already referred back to the article. Thanks Ivan Y! You can delete my comment above, if you’d like.

My son (8) and I read a lot of books on the iPad. One that he particularly likes is called “Dino Hunt” by Sir Ryan Dale. In the story, a man is looking for his lost cat and his wife advises him to follow the cat’s footprints. But her husband doesn’t really listen. Plus, he doesn’t seem to know what the cat’s footprints look like! So, he gets himself into quite a bit of trouble and ends up lying on a ledge inside a volcano. Later, he wakes up in his own bed and asks his wife if she saved him. “Yes,” she replies. “But how did you find me?” he asks. “I followed your footprints.” she replies. Josh and I like this story because it reminds us of what we should do when we are feeling lost, worried or frightened… follow God’s footprints. But first, we have to make sure that we recognize His footprints so that we don’t follow the wrong ones which may lead us to trouble and danger. This gives us a chance to talk about many things like what we might be afraid of right now, or where we’ve seen God’s footprints leading us lately. I don’t blog, so I can’t link you up but I wanted to share my story with you.

It is precisely because we live in a democratic country that we have EVERY RIGHT to comment and criticize government decisions especially those that involve “constitutional prerogatives” as that of the postponement of elections in what is supposed to be an autonomous region. As far as I know, it is only the Supreme Court that can decide on matters regarding the constitution and not the executive or the legislative body.
