Post By Dave Ramsey and An obvious point of view by Rhonda Brown

An obvious point of view: It was never about President Trump. It was about a stolen election, a constantly and consistently lying press, vitriol against the Constitution, and the right to keep this country based on Judaeo-Christian values. Without this plumb line, this country steers without a rudder. Never once did these elected officials seek the truth, nor did the media search for the root of corruption. You think turning Hollywood back on is going to lull Americans’ minds, not the woke. I turned off cable a long time ago. I work to find viable news sources. I put my trust in you, Tom Cotton, to speak up for us. Don’t let us down! How many people this summer died and had their lives destroyed by Antifa, Marxist protesters, and the press refusing to cover the violence, silence from elected officials, and now you speak out. We, the people, have never tolerated violence; we want the truth revealed against obvious fraud in the election process and those guilty prosecuted.

Post by Dave Ramsey: “This morning, I realized that everything is about to change. No matter how I vote, no matter what I say, lives are never going to be the same. I have been confused by the hostility of family and friends. I look at people I have known all my life, so hate-filled that they agree with opinions they would never express as their own. I think that I may well have entered the Twilight Zone. You can’t justify this insanity. We have become a nation that has lost its collective mind. We see other countries going Socialist and collapsing, but it seems like a great plan to us. Somehow, it’s un-American for the census to count how many Americans are in America. People who say there is no such thing as a gender are demanding a female President. Universities that advocate equality discriminate against Asian-Americans in favor of African-Americans. Some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born, while others are not held responsible for what they are doing right now. Criminals are caught-and-released to hurt more people, but stopping them is bad because it’s a violation of THEIR rights. People who have never owned slaves should pay slavery reparations to people who have never been slaves. After legislating gender, if a dude pretends to be a woman, you are required to pretend with him. It was cool for Joe Biden to “blackmail” the President of Ukraine, but it’s an impeachable offense if Donald Trump inquires about it. People who have never been to college should pay the debts of college students who took out huge loans for their degrees. Immigrants with tuberculosis and polio are welcome, but you’d better be able to prove your dog is vaccinated. Irish doctors and German engineers who want to immigrate to the US must go through a rigorous vetting process, but any illiterate gang-bangers who jump the southern fence are welcomed.$5 billion for border security is too expensive, but $1.5 trillion for “free” health care is not. If you cheat to get into college, you go to prison, but if you cheat to get into the country, you go to college for free. And, pointing out all this hypocrisy somehow makes us “racists”! Nothing makes sense anymore, no values, no morals, no civility, and people are dying of a Chinese virus, but it is racist to refer to it as the Chinese virus when that is where it began. We are clearly living in an upside-down world where right is wrong and wrong is right, where moral is immoral and immoral is moral, where good is evil and evil is good, where killing murderers is wrong, but killing innocent babies is right. Wake up, America. The great unsinkable ship Titanic America has hit an iceberg, is taking on water, and sinking fast.”

Rhonda Brown: I will add that in the 60s and 70s, Christianity was attacked and dismissed on a scientific basis. Evolution Theory vs Creationism, just remember a theory is not a fact. Today, we are told to throw science for non-gender identity.

Without a plumb line for truth, we sail a rudderless ship. “Behold I am about to put a plumb line in the midst of my people. I will spare them no longer.” Amos 7:8

Grateful

Gratefulness is a state of mind, sometimes for me. By Jesus’s death on the cross and his resurrection, my salvation is secure. I’m totally accepted, approved of, and loved by the heavenly Father. I’m grateful that God doesn’t give up on me even when I do. Faith, even the size of a mustard seed, can overcome mountains of self-doubt, loss of family, and associated pain. Faith breaks mountains and quietens the soul. The Father’s love provides light of understanding in the depths of darkness to help guide our way. To find significance and gratefulness, just the tiniest particle of faith is needed.
Even though Thanksgiving was with just my husband, no kids or grandkids to visit, I’m grateful for my family, for my church family, and friends who every day add value to my life.
I’m new to blogging, new to setting up a blog site, and new to creating a space inviting to visit. I will admit this site is not that inviting, yet. But to join the Five-minute Friday blog, I must have a site. This is my second attempt at creating a site. Hopefully, this site will reflect more of me in the future. This is my first attempt at painting, too! Grateful for a talented instructor and a friend who encouraged me to come along.
