Sunday, September 11, 2022 marks the 21st anniversary of what’s commonly referred to as “911.” Americans for the most part hold their twenty-first birthday in high esteem. Age 21 in this country signifies that a person is officially an adult, who can now legally buy and drink liquor, and be looked upon as independently “grown.”
If leadership is openly committing infractions, what can be expected of the rank and file? So goes the head; so goes the tail.
Gunsmiths and Wordsmiths are not to blame for the mishandling, misuse, and abuse we are seeing today resulting in gun-related massacres along with suicides triggered by cyberspace bullying. These consequential events have become so common – we see the symptoms and know the causes, and yet we all seem to be helpless and neutralized to do anything about them. It’s how we use guns and how we use words that kill.
We are fast approaching the coming of a new age. Jesus is coming soon. When you hear that last tick, it might be too late! Invite Jesus into your life today while you still have a chance.

As I was watching all of the protests nationwide and around the globe – over the wrongful and tragic death of Minnesotan George Floyd –– I happened to surf to a channel featuring the movie “Black or White.” The movie, with an all-star cast headlined by Kevin Costner (Elliott Anderson), and Octavia Spencer (Rowena), is based on real events about a biracial granddaughter Eloise (Jillian Estell), being the object of a custody battle between her white grandfather, and her black absentee biological father. The story plays out where both Elliott, and Rowena (the dominant black grandmother) are forced to
Did God create viruses? Of course He did! Genesis 1 says that all things were created by Him. Man (the discoverer) has created nothing that God had not already seeded and planted, such as the vast amounts of diamonds in Africa. Scientists and doctors alike have discovered and will tell you that even viruses are useful to our bodies to keep bacteria in check; which is also useful to us.

Let me explain. Christmas is a time when we scuttle about trying to buy presents for one another.
