TODAY

 Today, the first day for my new blog. I have lots on my mind which I hope to share with you in the coming days and weeks ahead.

My family shares a daily text set up to say good morning, share news, birthdays and more. The flyer below is from this morning (3/21/2025) speaks truth.  As I read the flyer, I thought to myself, "WoW, so on point". My next thought, "Faith without work is dead".

                                         

My trust and faith in God are strong. But let us not forget that "Faith without works is dead". James 2:26

James highlights that faith should be demonstrated by action, not faith alone (James 2:14-26). No, salvation is not earned thru good works. James emphasizes that true faith is a gift from God and should naturally lead to good works: helping those in need, serving others, living a life that reflects our faith: service, compassion, integrity. 

Our fellow citizens are suffering as we live thru what is being likened to an oligarchy (a form of government in which power rests with a small number of people)

As we go through this tailspin what are we doing? Are we writing/make calls, demanding better, demonstrating. We must do more than pray. We can't do everything, but we can do something. 

Jesus was considered by many to be a radical. Remember that he threw the merchants and money changers out of the temple. All I'm asking is that you do what YOU can do. And continue to pray. 

Love ya'll❣️

Well, that's it. That's what I wrote this morning; I still feel the same.

An old African Proverb says: It takes a village to raise a child. In this case it will take the involvement and support of the majority of this country's people to right the wrongs we see happening in our country. It will take the Republicans in the Senate and the House. They must stop being afraid of DJT.  They must listen to the people who put them in office. It will take the Democrats and the Independents too. They must not cave!!

I'm going stop here and let what I've said, 'sink in'.

Peace


Recommendation: watch Rachel Maddow to stay informed.

  Donald J. Trump   -   THE WORST president in history.   DJT is corrupt: he is   a grifter, a convicted felon (34 counts) and he is destroying our country. He’s enriching himself, his family and his billionaire buddies, many of whom serve as secretaries of various FEDERAL Agencies with NO experience except for being rich. SILENCE IS AGREEMENT.   It is my prayer that each of you is calling, writing letters and sending emails to your United States House and Senate representatives. EVERY WEEK, Democrat or Republican.   A demonstration??? A protest?   March if you can! A sit-in?   Sit if you can!   SILENCE IS AGREEMENT. FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD.   James 2:14-17 The Message Dear friends, do you think you’ll get anywhere in this if you learn all the right words but never do anything? Does merely talking about faith indicate that a person really has it? For instance, you come upon an old friend dressed in rags and hal...

  To all who may have forgotten what they learned in High School Civics Class: be reminded by the image above. There has been a move by the Trump administration to move from democracy to an autocratic form of government. It’s obvious by DJT’s executive orders signed with his felt pen. Birthright Citizenship (didn’t work), removal of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in several federal agencies and colleges (working in some agencies but not in others), taking over colleges that have bowed down to his demands, taking over the Kennedy Center and much more. And now , many say we are in the throes of a Constitutional Crisis; I agree. Ø   a situation in which a major political dispute cannot be clearly resolved on the basis of the particular government’s constitution or established practice The rule of law, law and order, etc. DJT believes that by the stroke of a felt pen he can change laws which require a vote by congress. And Republicans are buying whatever he sells. Why??...
