"Black and white melt into grey
'Till every truth is stripped away
When nothing's wrong, nothing's okay
Everyone has been betrayed..."

End of Me, Ashes Remain
From the album What I've Become (2011)
We really aren't reading our Bibles these days on either side of the political isle (for those who claim to), and it makes you all look either silly or sadistic - neither of which are good for you or the American people.

Next week, I want to try and bring some clarity, for your sakes and ours. We really can't afford blundering for the next two years and into the next presidential run. We need real, prinicipled, compassionate leadership. We need truth, love, and grace to turn us around.
Free speech comes with a price.
There is alot of concern about the Jan 6th committee and the direction of the Republican party these days. I look at it this way, if God is behind this, it will stand, and all truth will come out. You will see it play out in real time, in the news. It will be unavoidable. If God is not behind this, you will see it fall into the pages of history. You will see it happen in real time, in the news. It will also be unavoidable. Pray and vote. God is the one who sets up leaders (along with our choices), not themselves (Romans 13:1a NIV).

Also, I would caution Christian, non-Christian, and politician alike - there is a difference between persecution - which you nor I really have no concept of unless one of us has lived under actual authoritarian rule, and consequences for said words or actions. They are not one in the same. Words and actions come with a price.
We need no other advocate but Jesus Christ. The veil has been torn. There is no more seperation between God, man or womankind. He has broken the curse.

John 16:23 - 24 , 26 - 27 TPT
"For here is eternal truth: When that time comes you won’t need to ask me for anything, but instead you will go directly to the Father and ask him for anything you desire and he will give it to you, because of your relationship with me.

Until now you’ve not been bold enough to ask the Father for a single thing in my name, but now you can ask, and keep on asking him! And you can be sure that you’ll receive what you ask for, and your joy will have no limits! And I will not need to ask the Father on your behalf, for you’ll ask him directly because of your new relationship with me. For the Father tenderly loves you, because you love me and believe that I’ve come from God."

Read Ephesians 2 in TPT or NIV after reading this, it builds on these verses!
The Republican party has an identity crisis. They don't know who they are anymore. You can't lead from a position of disunity and infighting, you won't lead well. Matthew 12:25
.."we believe that black lives matter because they matter to Jesus. We don’t believe that love is love but that God is love, and that he gives us glimpses of his love through different kinds of relationship. We believe women’s rights are human rights, because God made us—male and female—in his image; and for that same reason we believe that babies in the womb have rights as well. We believe God has a special concern for single mothers, orphans, and immigrants, because Scripture tells us so again and again. And we believe that diversity does indeed make us stronger, because Jesus calls people from every tribe and tongue and nation to worship him as one body together."

Rebecca McLaughlin, pg 2

Do not be afraid of what you see. Everything that can be shaken will be shaken. Right will prevail in the end.
"But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. “Do not fear their threats; do not be frightened.” 1 Peter 3:14
Let's all take a step back. If Mr. Trump did no wrong, he will be vindicated. A search warrant is not an arrest. He gets his time in court and he gets to defend himself. I have no idea what he did or didn't do. This is a sad time for our nation altogether. Such a mess. 🙏
I have nearly 60 books on my tablet in the Kindle app. I'll get to all of them, eventually. You can't see them all here. This does not count 42 in Google Books. I add maybe 1 book a month of varying subjects. I have less than 10 paperback books. I prefer electronic reading to cut down on book clutter. Even my Bible is electronic via the Bible app. I can make notes and highlight all I want on these mediums. And what writer doesn't read? 😊
Such things as Republics are truly fragile and fleeting.
Handle with great care.
They are like mists upon great mountains that come and vanish before our eyes.
Consider carefully your hope. 🙏
"When daybreak seems so far away
Reach for my hand
When hope and peace begin to fray
Still I will stand
Right here now
To hold you when the sky falls down
I will always
Be the one who took your place
When the rain falls
I won't let go
When the rain falls
I won't let go
I'll be right here..."

Right Here, Ashes Remain (2011)

Hold on.
I ran for the first time in 5 years last night. I ran 2 miles. When God heals you, he heals you from the inside out. You are changed at the cellular level! I am not even sore this morning! I get to build from the starting point. His healing is free! What do you have to lose?
