Scripture
‘I tell you the truth, when you refused to help the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were refusing to help Me.’
~Matthew 25:45, NLT
Quote
Earth has no sorrows that heaven cannot heal.
~Thomas Moore
I know the quote is not a perfect fit for this blog but I do love the quote and practically every human longs for heaven’s healing. I was reading John Goldengay’s commentary of Psalm 120 yesterday and he has friends that take frequent trips to Africa in a ministry to REFUGEES. I was rejoicing over the election and the preservation of the election process when I read his commentary. Suddenly I realized; there are billions on planet earth that cannot rejoice in free elections or freedom itself. It was a disturbing thought. I went to the internet to see what I could find on the subject.
First of all, lets define the word REFUGEE. It is a person who has been forced to leave their country in order to escape war, persecution, or natural disaster. There are an estimated 117 million refugees worldwide. I am afraid this number is higher because there are 46 million refugees in Africa alone. Uganda has the most, but this is because they give the asylum. They have come to Uganda for help and Uganda is a poor nation. Joe David knows some of the Missionaries in this area and I am sure they could tell us more.
I don’t know about you but this pulls my heart string. I don’t know what to do at this moment, but I am going to pray that the LORD will show me how I can help. How else can we respond in light of the mercy and grace GOD HAS SHOWN AMERICA!

Yesterday was a day of rejoicing as the news continued to get better. We were eating lunch when Joe David announced that we had carried Michigan. I know my friends at Hillsdale are thrilled. Teddy and Eddie have family in Michigan and there are our friends from Holland. When I was up there a few weeks ago, I saw Trump signs everywhere. Congrats to our friends in Michigan.
I also want to do a shout out to cousin Paige who attended our prayer meeting Monday night. Paige attends Salem Springs Baptist Church which is June’s home church. It is located on Highway 99 in Salem, Alabama the home of the West Limestone Wildcats.
I was still exhausted yesterday and so I went home to rest {get in my bed} but I could not rest. I kept having questions go through my mind so I got up and went back to the office. Most of you don’t want to read this; it is political in nature, but I wanted to share it with anyone interested.
I listened briefly to 770 AM the Talk Monster. It is a conservative station and I just wanted to hear a little more about the election. It appears that the media has conceeded although Harris has not {at the time}. My take is that the media knew what was coming. They knew the polls were shewed and that all their propaganda had failed. Now they will try to save face. I watched just a little of FOX early yesterday morning but I don’t trust any of the major news outlets. I have been concerned about the cheating and I am sure there was some but the margin was such that they couldn’t pull it off this time. As much as anything, we need to be thankful that the election process is in tact. They may crawl back under their rocks for a few days but they will not quit. They are energized by the mastermind; Lucifer, the so called angel of light. He may be bright but there is no truth in him. Every lie you hear from the left comes from him. He is the father of all lies. I wonder what Robert Deniro had for breakfast yesterday. It might have been some crow. I can’t wait for him and Whoppie to move to Canada. Roger Clements told them not to let the door hit them where the Good Lord split them. My prayer now is that the so called Biden administration will not sabotage everything possible between now and Janauary 20. They don’t just hate Trump, they hate middle America, what they refer to as “fly over America”. We are deplorable garbage to them and I did not choose the adjectives: these are the ones they use in reference to anyone who voted for Trump.
You will be shocked at the list of Republicans who endorsed Harris an avout Marxist: the entire Bush family {George, Jeb, Barbara Pierce}, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Liz and Dick Cheney, Mitt Romney, Megan McCain, the Pence brothers, and Mo Brooks. Bush was offended by something Trump said. Can you believe that, a grown man being offended by a word. None of these people are true Republicans. You cannot be a republican and favor Marxism. Can I get an amen. George Bush has no principles and no class. In other words, he is a bad teacher.
If the above is not shocking, what about the preachers that endorsed Harris like John Happy Piper. The guy who wrote a book on Christian Hedonism and I have never seen him smile. Thank God for John MacArthur who has been on stage with Piper…MacArtur said, “any real” Christian will vote for Republican President Donald Trump in November because they cannot support the policy agenda of the Democratic Party. Namely abortion and transgenderism.” I burned Piper’s books years ago. I would have burned MacArthur’s to if he had said something different. I am a single issue voter and the issue is Pro-Life.
If you read all this: God bless you and God bless America. Make us a light to the nations LORD. Help us share your goodness and mercy.
