I'm writing this for all of you who are feeling like I am - confused, shocked, and overwhelmed by all the information there is to process about the Capitol rioting on January 6, 2021. Here is what I do to help me see what is really happening. I start out by simplifying. Our Savior said, "By their fruits ye shall know them". This is where I start. I look just at the action, at what actually happened. The problem is that as a human being that is hard to do. I do have feelings, reactions, and past experiences which can so clutter my view and divert me onto other tracks that I can easily miss what the real issue is.
Here is my thought process as I try to get a clearer view of what happened at the Capitol a few days ago (doesn't it seem longer!). I take Trump out of the picture. Yes, I know he was there and that is part of reality, but stay with me. Next, I thought of some Terrorist group and put them in the picture instead. The Al-Qaeda who attacked the twin towers in 9/11 was the group I chose. Now, I play the action and see what it looks like. This is what I saw. On some of it you will need to use a lot of imagination.
