@SpeakerJohnson and @POTUS should take a firm stance against any efforts to return Covid-era proxy voting to Congress. Proxy voting under any conditions defies 230 years of tradition and opens the door to abuses down the road. Let’s call it the slippery slope argument or the camel with the nose under the tent syndrome. NO! Proxy voting is a terrible idea! We start with parents and end with hospitalized and members “temporarily” in nursing homes. Soon I will tell you how I really feel about this. #Proxy #Congress @elonmusk @RepLuna @realDonaldTrump @HouseGOP @SenateGOP
I’m reading the love scriptures today. What is love and how do we know when it is flourishing in our lives?
We were lost and wandering before we found the Lord. We just didn’t know it!
I was so foolish and ignorant—I must have seemed like a senseless animal to you.
Yet I still belong to you;you hold my right hand.
You guide me with your counsel, leading me to a glorious destiny.
Whom have I in heaven but you? I desire you more than anything on earth.
My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; he is mine forever.
Those who desert him will perish, for you destroy those who abandon you.
But as for me, how good it is to be near God!nI have made the Sovereign Lord my shelter,band I will tell everyone about the wonderful things you do.”
Psalm 73: 22-28 (NIV).
What about you? Are you willing to lose everything for the kingdom of God?
“Then he said to the crowd, ‘If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross daily, and follow me. If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it. And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but are yourself lost or destroyed?
If anyone is ashamed of me and my message, the Son of Man will be ashamed of that person when he returns in his glory and in the glory of the Father and the holy angels.” Luke 9: 23-26 (NLT).
God sees and knows what our enemies are plotting behind our backs. Do we have enough faith and humility to cry out to him for help? He has promised that no weapons formed against us will bring us down. Let us raise our voices individually and collectively to the Lord asking for victory!
“O Lord, I have come to you for protection;
don’t let me be disgraced. Save me and rescue me, for you do what is right. Turn your ear to listen to me, and set me free.
Be my rock of safety where I can always hide. Give the order to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.
My God, rescue me from the power of the wicked, from the clutches of cruel oppressors.
O Lord, you alone are my hope. I’ve trusted you, O Lord, from childhood.
Yes, you have been with me from birth;
from my mother’s womb you have cared for me. No wonder I am always praising you!
My life is an example to many, because you have been my strength and protection. That is why I can never stop praising you;
I declare your glory all day ...
