Tom , I doubt Christie’s actions had any measurable influence on yesterday’s vote. As for Hurricane Sandy, it was an act of God in precisely the sense that all of creation is. No more, no less.
I do very much agree with your closing suggestion that yesterday’s results should cause no adjustment in our understanding of providence.
You have a decision to make: double or nothing.
For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.
In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.
So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?
Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
