I was back on Capitol Hill this week and my time there was intense with numerous divine appointments. Tuesday afternoon as I began delivering my notes in the Cannon Building, I encountered a representative who shared his belief that "we are on the verge of losing the country." It's a sentiment that many of his colleagues share.

I wasn't in Washington, DC this week but I kept an eye on the happenings there. A representative initiated a text with me by saying, “This is a mess here in DC. Never seen anything like it.”

This has been a full week. On Saturday I flew across the country to sing at Emmanuel Baptist Church in Newington, Connecticut. As I flew, I worked and occasionally checked the news. I saw a news report of a congressional wife who was filing for divorce from her husband whom I know quite well. I texted the member and let him know I was praying for him and hoped to see him in the next few days.

I arrived in DC on Tuesday evening and immediately began visiting offices. I encountered Representative Chris Stewart of Utah. Mr. Stewart was in the process of packing up his belongings. His wife has been struggling with health issues and he no longer felt he could remain in Congress.
