Over the last year, many of us have been surrounded by the perfect storm. On a daily basis, we’ve been reminded of the hate and evil that permeates the world around us. We’ve navigated our own personal challenges. We’ve tried our best to support and help others, and to top it all off we are in the middle of what Paul writes to be a spiritual battle; that we’re in the midst of this spiritual battle that’s beyond ourselves. That is a perfect storm.
