St Paul Presbyterian Church of Johnston, Iowa

``Victory comes not instantly, but through patient faith and persistent action rooted in God's purposes. Victory requires resilience, toughness. The courage to keep showing up, to keep working, to keep believing, to keep protesting if needed, even when turning on the news, is an act of faith itself. It is so painful to see because in the end, in the end, love wins. And if love hasn't won, it's not the end yet, is it?
