Listen my beloved. This election is pivotal to the America we love and stand as the leader of the world. Liberal ideology and anti Judeo-Christian ethics are what Kamala stand for.

Trump was making America Great Again. He accomplished so much, until COVID hit and derailed his accomplishments. You can't blame Trump for COVID. So let's get real:

President Donald Trump had several notable achievements during his presidency, though they are viewed differently depending on one's perspective. Here are some key areas where he made an impact:
1. Economic Growth and Tax Reform:
Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (2017): Trump's administration passed the largest tax reform bill in decades. The legislation lowered the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% and provided temporary tax cuts for individuals, aiming to stimulate business investment and job growth.
Unemployment Rates: Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. experienced record-low unemployment, especially for minority groups such as African Americans, Hispanics, and women.
Deregulation: Trump focused on reducing government regulations, particularly for businesses. His administration rolled back various environmental and business regulations, arguing it would foster economic growth.
2. Judicial Appointments:
Trump successfully appointed three conservative Supreme Court justices: Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett. These appointments shifted the ideological balance of the Court.
He also appointed hundreds of federal judges, which will influence the judiciary for decades.
3. Foreign Policy:
Middle East Peace Deals: Trump brokered the Abraham Accords, which normalized relations between Israel and several Arab nations (UAE, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco), seen as a significant diplomatic achievement.
North Korea: Trump was the first sitting U.S. president to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, attempting to negotiate denuclearization, though progress was limited.
Withdrawal from the Iran Nuclear Deal: He pulled the U.S. out of the deal, claiming it was flawed, and reimposed sanctions on Iran.
Trade Policies: Trump renegotiated trade deals, including the USMCA (United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement), which replaced NAFTA. He also imposed tariffs on China in an effort to address trade imbalances and protect American jobs.
4. Immigration and Border Security:
Border Wall: One of Trump's signature promises was to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. While not all of it was completed, significant sections were constructed, and his administration took a hardline stance on immigration.
Reduction of Illegal Immigration: Trump's policies, such as the "Remain in Mexico" program and increased border enforcement, aimed to curb illegal immigration.
5. Criminal Justice Reform:
Trump signed the First Step Act into law, a bipartisan criminal justice reform bill aimed at reducing prison sentences for non-violent offenders and providing inmates with more opportunities for rehabilitation.
6. COVID-19 Response:
Trump's administration launched Operation Warp Speed, a public-private partnership to accelerate the development and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines. This led to the rapid approval and distribution of multiple vaccines by the end of 2020.
7. Energy Policy:
Under Trump's administration, the U.S. achieved energy independence for the first time in decades, becoming a net exporter of oil and natural gas.

Vote for Trump!!!

And today, there was a solar eclipse - here in southern California, the moon blocked roughly 45% of the sun.

In the path of totality in the eastern states, it will become totally dark for about 3 1/2 minutes!

And it affects humans as well as animals!

And here is what makes an eclipse possible - and is one of the proofs God created the heavens and the earth…

When the Moon comes between the Sun and Earth, it blocks the Sun entirely and perfectly - as they appear to be the exact same size! By casting a shadow on Earth it causes a solar eclipse. This is because even though the Sun is 400 times larger than the Moon, the Moon is 400 times closer to Earth!

Psalm 19:1 “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands”

How do they do that? They prove God’s design and creation!

The visible universe is so predictable that we can calculate exactly where every star, every planet, and every moon will be thousands of years from now!

How is that possible if the universe is a chaotic, random accident caused by a big explosion/bang? It is simply not possible.

In the book of Genesis we are told how and why God made the sun, stars, planets and moon…

Gen 1:16 God made the sun and the moon, the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the night; He made the stars also.
Gen 1:17 God placed them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth,
Gen 1:14 .., and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years.

God made the whole universe as a big clock to mark the days, weeks, months, and years! And to give us the four seasons!

The intricate precision of the sun and the moon in their celestial dance across the sky serves as a testament to the divine craftsmanship of God, the Creator of the heavens and the earth.
Through their precise movements, fulfilling their appointed purposes without fail, the sun and the moon declare the glory and wisdom of the Creator, leaving no doubt that it is by His design that the heavens and the earth exist in perfect harmony.

The fact is - our eco system, our cells, even our DNA are irreducibly complex!

God’s glory can be seen in many different aspects of creation—not just the heavens. Consider the magnificent intricacy of a living cell, the complexity and the amazing diversity of life on earth, and the mathematical precision of the laws of physics and chemistry. These are all indicative of the incomprehensible creativity, intelligence, and power of the Creator.

Every facet of creation reveals a complexity that defies naturalistic explanations.
All creation bears the mark of irreducible complexity, serving as a profound testimony to the divine wisdom and purpose of God, the intelligent architect of all things.

Please pray with me. Almighty God, creator of the universe, we stand in awe of you! God, you created us all with purpose - we are not an accident and all of us have a calling to fulfill our mission on earth. Give us the strength to complete our ministry to all those in our tribe and circle. Fill us with your light, love, joy and peace as we serve You by serving them.

In Jesus name we pray, amen.

Be safe. Be blessed. And know you are loved and appreciated.

Science and Scripture - Faith and Reason - they go together perfectly! And here's the proof!

Science and scripture are like two opposing fingers, because together you can grasp everything. That is why many atheist or agnostic scientists have seen the hand of God in science and have come t…

Just in case you may not have known!

ATOP THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT, ARE DISPLAYED TWO WORDS

One detail that is seldom mentioned is that in Washington, D.C. there can never be a building of greater height than the Washington Monument. With all the uproar about removing the Ten Commandments, etc., this is worth a moment or two of your time.

On the aluminum cap, atop the Washington Monument in Washington, D.C., are displayed two words: Laus Deo.

No one can see these words. In fact, most visitors to the monument are totally unaware they are even there and for that matter, probably couldn't care less. Once you know Laus Deo's history, you will want to share this with everyone you know.

These words have been there for many years; they are 555 feet, 5.125 inches high, perched atop the monument, facing skyward to the Father of our nation, overlooking the 69 square miles which comprise the District of Columbia, capital of the United States of America.

Laus Deo! Two seemingly insignificant, unnoticed words. Out of sight and, one might think, out of mind, but very meaningfully placed at the highest point over what is the most powerful city in the most successful nation in the world.

So, what do those two words, in Latin, composed of just four syllables and only seven letters, possibly mean? Very simply, they say Praise be to God!

Though construction of this giant obelisk began in1848, when James Polk was President of the United States, it was not until 1888 that the monument was inaugurated and opened to the public. It took twenty-five years to finally cap the memorial with a tribute to the Father of our nation, Laus Deo, "Praise be to God!"

From atop this magnificent granite and marble structure, visitors may take in the beautiful panoramic view of the city with its division into four major segments. From that vantage point, one can also easily see the original plan of the designer, Pierre Charles L'Enfant ..... a perfect cross imposed upon the landscape, with the White House to the north, The Jefferson Memorial is to the south, the Capitol to the east and the Lincoln Memorial to the west.

A cross you ask? Why a cross? What about separation of church and state? Yes, a cross; separation of church and state was NOT, is NOT, in the Constitution.

So, read on.

How interesting and, no doubt, intended to carry a profound meaning for those who bother to notice.

When the cornerstone of the Washington Monument was laid on July 4th, 1848 deposited within it were many items including the Holy Bible presented by the Bible Society. Praise be to God! Such was the discipline, the moral direction, and the spiritual mood given by the founder and first President of our unique democracy 'One Nation, Under God.'

I am awed by George Washington's prayer for America .... Have you ever read it? Well, now is your unique opportunity, so read on...
"Almighty God; We make our earnest prayer that Thou wilt keep the United States in Thy holy protection; that Thou wilt incline the hearts of the citizens to cultivate a spirit of subordination and obedience to government; and entertain a brotherly affection and love for one another and for their fellow citizens of the United States at large.
And finally that Thou wilt most graciously be pleased to dispose us all to do justice, to love MERCY, and to demean ourselves with that charity, humility, and pacific temper of mind which were the characteristics of the Divine Author of our blessed religion, and without a humble imitation of whose example in these things we can never hope to be a happy nation.
Grant our supplication, we beseech Thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen."
Laus Deo!

It is hoped you will send this to every sister, brother, father, mother or friend. They will not find it offensive because you have given them a lesson in history that they probably never learned in school.

And now you know.....
