Many of you know that the people of Cuba have a special place in my heart. For the first time in years, they have a transition of power coming in the next few months. Please pray that this will be a peaceful transition and that all changes will be for the good of the Cuban people.

Several years ago, I posted on Facebook a hope that announced changes in U.S.-Cuba relations would be good for the people. One friend saw the need to respond with the talking points of one political party. I’m not interested. Couldn’t care less. Please share them elsewhere.

I don’t care who is to blame for the situation, who is going to “win” if certain things happen, or who is going to get credit for fixing things in the future. I pray that God will provide relief for the suffering that is going on.

If Christians can’t pray for the good of a certain people, have we really learned what it is to love our neighbors?
