Her: Heard your President is holding up checks until they can get his name on them, so far they haven’t found enough crayons for him to color his name yet. Besides the minute he insisted upon his name being on the checks I knew there would be a problem. Something fishy would happen.Read More…

There is also plan B. Under martial law, the president can seize banks, seize control of the Internet and media to broadcast his emergency statements. He will have enormous power and since he believes whatever he does is in the public interest and the cowardly GOP will back him up, he can close down the polls and the elections to save the Republic because the Pandemic would make it too dangerous for large groups to go to the voting polls.Read More…
Before, we were too busy to call people–a hasty text would do, if at all, That book to write, well just didn’t have time, the books piled up we haven’t read, even for some the Bible. Time moving so fast didn’t have time to ask God, what He wanted us to do with our time. Read More…

I have been fighting this practically all my life and each step I take in faith the stronger I get. Last week fear rose up in me almost overwhelming. I was told I had to take an MRI because they had a spot on my liver. Ironically, I didn’t fear bad news about the spot because I knew God would handle it, but somehow the thought of getting in a tube and being locked in with mechanical sounds pounding in my ear just filled me with anxiety.
