Good morning ☀️😃
How do we keep our peace in a topsy-turvy world? God’s word is always a good place to start and end. It can center and calm us better than any illegal or pharmaceutical drug designed to numb our brains. Even when depression was my old familiar friend, I preferred the pain to the numbness of drugs. Christ delivered me from periodic bouts of deep depression. The scripture below and the Psalms are always in season for healing. Be blessed and joyful. God knows you even when you don’t know him. He has a plan and purpose for every one willing to receive the free gift 🎁 #Christmas #prayer #hope #depression
Greetings 👋
A wise man said, the more things change, the more they stay the same. It is certainly true of our human nature. Christ alone promises transformation.
“It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. The latter do so out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains. But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice.”
Philippians 1: 15-18 (NIV).
What do you think? Has the body of Christ changed much since the days of the Apostle Paul?

Good morning 🌞
Here’s my Saturday morning meditation. It is Paul’s prayer for the Philippians. Everyone needs encouragement from time to time.
“I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ. . .
And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all discernment, that you may approve things that are excellent so that you may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, being filled with the fruit of righteousness, which comes through Jesus Christ, for the glory and praise of God.”
Philippians 1: 6, 9-11 (MEV).
Make America GREAT by standing for truth—no matter the cost. Don't parrot talking points; question them when they stray from principle.
I lost over 300 followers for calling out the Erika Kirk appointment to the Air Force Academy Board of Visitors. Conservatives once fiercely defended the First Amendment and merit. Now some silence dissent like the left.
We need to man up, put on our big girl panties, and hold BOTH parties—and our own leaders—accountable. When principles get sidelined, speak up.
As John 8:32 declares: "And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
Will you join me in demanding accountability on all sides?
