Philippians chapter 1 includes this from today’s readings:

21 For to me, living is Christ and dying is gain. 22If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me; and I do not know which I prefer. 23I am hard pressed between the two:my desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better; 24but to remain in the flesh is more necessary for you. 25Since I am convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with all of you for your progress and joy in faith, 26so that I may share abundantly in your boasting in Christ Jesus when I come to you again.

27 Only, live your life in a manner worthy of the Christ

The holier-than-thou me wants to send this to all our elected officials who claim to be followers of Jesus but whose policies reflect quite the opposite.

And then I walk by a mirror…..

I pray to live a life in a manner worthy of Christ. In fact, that’s a great prayer to start and end each day with. With God’s help, of course….
