As my husband and I watched the National Day of Prayer and Repentance, the moment came where Franklin Graham asked the congregation on the National Mall to pray. After a hushed moment, the sound of 50,000 voices raised in prayer swelled in a great din of supplication. Glancing over at Michael, I noticed that he was covered with goosebumps...and he doesn't goosebump easily.
As tears flowed down my cheeks, I had goosebumps on my goosebumps.
Thank God for a nation that prays in the name of Jesus, Amen.
Growing up in the Minnesota Republican party, I often spent my weekends with my family on the picket line outside our local abortion clinic. Round and round we walked even in the depths of the frigid Minnesota Winters. I remember the WCCO cameramen ducking low to catch me on film as I trudged through the snow in my little snowsuit with my little picket sign.
My parents sacrificed their time, energy and safety for what they believed in. Dad was spat on. We received multiple suspicious phone calls at the house. But they kept on, keeping on, for many years.
They only stopped when they realized how much time was being taken from our family life.
They were also discouraged. Year after year, the career Republican politicians they worked so hard to elect never worked for the change they promised. Roe v Wade, the heart of my parents' political passion, was never overturned, in fact, it got worse when Partial Birth Abortion was legalized under Clinton.
Trump may not be a religious or even a particularly moral man. He never claimed to be anything but the businessman that he is. But he started something. He's a total history geek and he's loudly patriotic.
He made it okay again to be loud and proud in your love for America.
He made it cool to say what we always believed: "In God We Trust."
The Left obsesses about Trump the Man. They call us a cult. But they're the only ones obsessing over Trump. The Right actually doesn't obsess about the man himself.
The Silent Majority flocks to rallie to encourage Trump. To meet new friends. To breathe in the air of patriotism. To finally not feel so alone.
This isn't about Trump per se. He's just the figurehead. This is about the Soul of America, just as Joe Biden said. So I guess Joe was right...but just that one time.
Despite my father's teaching that mankind is basically evil, I've always believe that human being are good and the MAGA Movement has proved that, again and again.
For the first time in a very long time, I'm glad to be alive at this time in history. For so long, I hated this time period. I fantasized about living during the Good Old Days of the 1940s and 1950s but, after reading Will Rogers' political humor, I realize this is the best time to be alive! A time when God, Country and Family are back in vogue.
Suddenly, I have hope for the future of the soul of America. I want to stay alive for a good long time to see where we go as "one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
So where are you when you are actually needed?
And that drove you to write blogs which clearly
would contribute to the downfall of civilization.
Yet here you are, still writing blogs.
Less than a minute away. Why? You miss me?
Biden and the rest serve the ChiComs.
30 pieces of silver and Democrat go hand in greased palm.
Thanks.
Nobody should need Joe to tell anyone anything.
Like Frank Capra would say, “Even his handshake is oily.” :)
LOL.
A pleasure, Samuel Clemens. ;)
Less than a minute away. Why? You miss me?
We would all miss you like a bad case of hemorrhoids.
Wow, look at your profile page.
It’s all about you writing about yourself in the third person.

Who do you think you are?
That has to be one of the most arrogant things I’ve ever seen.
I like that.
Atheist Dems don’t believe that there is such a thing as a soul.
That’s so sad! How do they find the drive to get up in the morning without that “spark of divine fire” within? :(
**That has to be one of the most arrogant things I’ve ever seen.**
Well, she’s a newbie, so she has a bit to learn about this great site. But at least she admits (in the second person) that she comes from a multi-generational family of narssicists. So admitting that defect is progress I suppose.
Where does the ‘humble’ part of your screen name come to the forefront? I admit I don’t read your posts much, so maybe I’m not noticing your humbleness.
They live for themselves: Doing things that convince themselves that they are part of the latest improvement in mankind because of evolution.
I know someone who’s an atheist. She uses the word “God” a lot! LOL (Thanks for what you said. I just copied my profile from my website which, of course, is in the 3rd person.) This site has so many supposed “rules”...only I can’t find them posted anywhere! :O
No, mankind is not basically good. the propensity for evil is ingrained.
Nobody ever had to teach a toddler to be bad.
History and current events prove that beyond any doubt.
There is no explanation for why there is good in the world except the work of God.
