The Father's Love For Me - Song and Video A beautiful song about God the Father's faithfulness to us throughout our entire life, until we are FOREVER with Him! Psalm 23 "Though the times have changed, You have always been the same!"

Song andMusic video Far Greater Than These (Matt. 19:27-30, 1 Cor. 2:9, 1 John 3:1-3, 1 Peter 1:18-19, Rev. 21; 22:1-5) If I possessed, all riches and lands And jewels that exceed all the grains of the sand But far greater than these, vaster than earth's vanities Is my Father's wondrous love for me As I ponder the glorious thought Of this world's wonders my Savior has wrought But far greater than these, vaster than the galaxies Is my Father's wondrous love for me Eyes have no seen, nor the glories been told His majestic ways, His children shall behold...

Growing up in Texas, Juneteenth has been a holiday for me all my life. A time to BBQ, a time to pray, and a time to celebrate freedom. A time to reflect on June 19, 1865, when Union Major General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas to take command of the more than 2,000 federal troops. This was two and half years after President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation had become law on January 1, 1863. Imagine Major General Granger walking through the streets of Galveston reading General Order No. 3 out loud in front of homes, courthouses, businesses, and churches....

Dear American friends, if this 4th of July George Washington, John Adams, Benjamin Rush and the rest of our Founding Fathers were to come back from the grave, they would rebuke and testify against America for her national departure from Almighty God, the laws of nature and of nature's God and our founding principles, The most astounding thing would be upon their return would be that the majority of American’s would NOT have an ear to hear them and would fully reject them outright. It is true that we live in another type of day today; one that abounds with...

The family unit (i.e., Father and Mother) is Almighty God’s design to protect and insulate mankind from the immoral ravishings, which manifest themselves by the violations of the moral absolutes instilled at the beginning of the creation (Gen. 1:1-31, Ex 20:1-17, Mark 10:19, Rom. 13:9, Heb. 13:4). It is a strong family unit that rests and abides on the moral absolutes of time that will keep and preserve society from decadence violence and social breakdown. When these moral absolutes are rejected, the horrific consequences that follow are devastating to the children and nation. In light of Father's Day, godly fathers...

A man who collapsed on a street when he had a stroke in London's West End has tracked down the "guardian angel" who saved his life. Mathew O'Toole, 47, had been sitting on a bench outside a coffee shop in Wigmore Street, Mayfair, on 10 June when he began vomiting and sweating. He said a nurse with a "kind face" called Dani or Danielle spotted the signs of a stroke and stopped to help. The family has since made contact with her after a BBC News story on Saturday. Appearing on BBC Breakfast on Sunday, Mr O'Toole's wife, Georgina, 44,...

In a letter to Boris Johnson, as well as Women and Equalities Minister Liz Truss, the Institute says the demand from Jayne Ozanne that even "gentle non-coercive prayer" on sexual subjects must be banned along with other "conversation therapy" components is a threat. ... In the United Kingdom, Ozanne, an LGBT activist, even has demanded that "prayer" by Christians be banned as talk that counsels against the LGBT lifestyle.

For years, many in the United States have been crying out to our past Presidents and Government (i.e., Washington D.C.) to do more and more to fix our national ills. The notion that Big Government has all our answers and the solutions we need in this very chaotic and unstable world is a fairy tale. Our Founding Fathers wisely understood that the less power government possessed the better off we as Americans would be. Our Foundering Fathers fully comprehend that with the abandonment of Judeo/ Christian foundations and principles that our government would be transformed into an ever controlling monster...

Most voters disagree with Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar's recent comparison of the United States to terrorist groups such as Hamas and the Taliban, according to a new poll. The poll, conducted by Rasmussen and released on Wednesday, shows that 61% of voters disagree with Omar's recent “anti-American rhetoric" that has sparked backlash on social media and on Capitol Hill. Conversely, only 24% agreed with the remark, and 15% did not indicate one way or the other. **SNIP** Lawmakers who make particularly controversial comments are sometimes censured and, in rare cases, are stripped of their committee assignments. A whopping 65% of...

Looking back at life as we once knew it — before any lockdowns and before the word ‘pandemic’ became an integral part of our vocabulary — feels like a distant memory. While many of the state and local government restrictions are waning, there are some things about our daily lives that may never go back to the way they were. Mask mandates still persist in many private businesses, the economy has yet to fully recover here in LA, and there remains a hesitancy by some to participate in heavily crowded events. Yet, not all of the radical changes we have...

A little boy was once asked to define Father’s Day. He thought for a moment and then said, “It is just like Mother’s Day, only you don’t spend as much on the present.”While that joke might earn a few laughs, it is easy to be “down” on fathers today. As we emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic, another crisis remains: fatherlessness. The National Fatherhood Initiative writes, “There is a father absence crisis in America. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 18.3 million children, 1 in 4, live without a biological, step, or adoptive father in the home. Consequently, there is a...

Recently, at the G7 summit, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, a Conservative and, allegedly, a “conservative,” declared that the main post-pandemic aim of world leaders must be “building back greener, building back fairer and building equally and – how should I put it? – in a more gender-neutral and perhaps a more feminine way.” He certainly did not realize it at the time, but his statement was a shining example of the moral and intellectual muddle that defines the ideology of the left-leaning global elite. His views and proposals are as senseless as they are destructive. Let's unpack his stupidity...

Remember that famous Hillary Clinton line about Benghazi? She asked, "What difference does it make?" She meant it's over; it's old news; why rehash it now? Nothing will change. Of course, that was convenient for Clinton and former President Barack Obama. They lied, and heroes died at Benghazi. The last thing Clinton or Obama wanted was an investigation. Democrats are saying the same thing now about the 2020 election. They say: "What difference does it make? Donald Trump lost. It's over. The election is certified. Joe Biden is the president. Nothing will change. You're all wasting your time." Again, that's...

One mark of a fanatic is the ability to create something negative out of something positive. One mark of a fanatic is the ability to create something negative out of something positive. That certainly marks the approach of CNN yesterday on its home page when noting that the federal government created a brand-new national holiday commemorating Juneteenth, when slaves in Texas first heard that they were freed. Adam Ford noted the fanaticism on Twitter: This is CNN's home page right now. Our corporate media wants so badly for us to hate each other. It's really sick. pic.twitter.com/yta3lWoQAF — Adam Ford...

The public image of Joe Biden is the affable dunce, a sort of Mr. Magoo wandering through the day. As others around him engage in shady activities and make money from questionable, to put it mildly, activities Joe claims no knowledge of. He just skates through life trying to do the right thing, getting ensnared in unfortunate circumstances through no fault of his own. But that’s not the real Joe Biden. The real Joe Biden can be a vindictive and angry man set off by anyone questioning him in a way he doesn’t like. The first signs of this side...

In addition to the video being racist, offensive, and almost certainly illegal, wait until you learn more about the company that produced it. I’ve been a non-corporate employee for 30 years. This means that I haven’t looked at an employee manual, attended a human resources seminar, or watched an HR video since the late 1980s. Back in the day, they were dry affairs that covered big issues: You can’t refuse to hire someone based on their race, color, sex, creed, etc. You also can’t harass or fire them for the same reasons. It was straightforward Civil Rights Act of 1964...

TWELVE COMMANDMENTS FOR SENIORS! #1 - Talk to yourself. There are times you need expert advice. #2 - "In Style" are the clothes that still fit. #3 - You don't need anger management. You need people to stop pissing you off. #4 - Your people skills are just fine. It's your tolerance for idiots that needs work. #5 - The biggest lie you tell yourself is, "I don't need to write that down. I'll remember" #6 - "On time" is when you get there. #7 - Even duct tape can't fix stupid - but it sure does muffle the sound....

AOC calls out ‘white men’ who voted against Juneteenth Queens Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called out her House GOP colleagues who voted against establishing “Juneteenth” as a federal holiday. “They were all men and they were all white. Like all white men. There weren’t even women. Like no diversity in it,” AOC told TMZ in an on-the-street interview on Capitol Hill. “It just goes to show that there is a lot of denialism and that also kind of ties into why they don’t want us to teach the history of racism in our school either,” she added, taking a shot at...
