“Patriotism required a change in lifestyle for Rachel Taillon, 31, of Lake Butler, Florida, who relocated with her family from another state. The move was motivated by a desire to live their version of the American dream, free from what they saw as government intrusion.
“We decided to take a stand against our government’s new policies and pick up everything we own and our entire life and move,” she told The Epoch Times.”

Greetings 👋
Leaders matter! Although God uses different kinds of men to fulfill his destiny for nations, He has been quite explicit about what I needed for nations to thrive.
“Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin condemns any people.” Proverbs 13:34.
Unfortunately, most nations have given themselves over to leaders who have endorsed globalism and the unhealthy erasure of nation boundaries. God created nations and people groups. That was His idea.
“From one man he made every nation living on the entire surface of the earth, and he fixed the limits of their territories and the periods when they would flourish.” Acts 17:27 (CJB).

Greetings 👋
God’s word is always appropriate and encouraging to His people.
“Who may worship in your sanctuary, Lord?
Who may enter your presence on your holy hill?
Those who lead blameless lives and do what is right, speaking the truth from sincere hearts.
Those who refuse to gossip or harm their neighbors or speak evil of their friends.
Those who despise flagrant sinners,
and honor the faithful followers of the Lord, and keep their promises even when it hurts.
Those who lend money without charging interest, and who cannot be bribed to lie about the innocent. Such people will stand firm forever.” Psalm 15: 1-3 (NLT).
