“The Grace of Giving” (2 Corinthians 8:1-9, 13-15) Today let’s talk about giving. Yes, that’s right, giving--like we do when we put offerings into the offering plate. Usually that’s a subject we like to avoid. People become defensive or uncomfortable if the subject of giving comes up. They’ll make excuses for why they can’t give more. They instinctively reach for their wallets and hold on tight, so that no one can get in there. And they close their ears as well. People don’t like to have someone put pressure on them to put more in the plate, like this is...

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s (D) administration recommended Friday students continue wearing masks in the classroom next school year. The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) issued a “layered” strategy in guidance to school districts. The agency indicated the top priority is “promoting vaccination,” followed by “face masks;” “social distancing;” “COVID-19 screening, testing, and contact tracing;” and “maintaining healthy environments.” MDHHS published a graphic likening mitigation measures to a holey piece of Swiss cheese. Each of them individually would not stop the virus from spreading (including masks), only all five would smother the spread, it implied. “These vaccines are...

How often at your workplace have you held your tongue out of fear of saying something that could get you fired? Everyone looks out for their interests. We naturally try to do that which best serves ourselves and our families. It is called human nature and it has served mankind well since the Creation. The people we send to government are no different. They can’t be different, for they are one of us, and as imperfect as the rest of mankind. First, we must understand that most of the chosen 535 members of congress had to claw, grasp, climb their...

The death rate from COVID-19 is dramatically low at United Memorial Medical Center in Houston, TX compared to other hospitals across the nation and the world.

The rites and habits associated with ‘midsummer’ clustered around a number of dates in Shakespeare’s time. The June solstice occurs on a day between the 20 and 22 June, but ‘Midsummer Day’ was fixed in the calendar as 24 June (also known as St John’s Day). Midsummer was one of the most popular and keenly-observed festivals throughout the early modern period. Rural communities marked it with Morris dancing, processions, late-night drinking, the blessing of crops and the ritual banishment of devils and other unwelcome sprites – precisely the sort of pagan-originating, Catholic-saint-encompassing mishmash that Protestant reformers despised. But by the...

Authorities in South Carolina say an infant died from ingesting cocaine. Now the baby’s teen parents are accused of homicide. Brady Lynden Wearn, 18, and Mary Catherine Bedenbaugh, 17, of Prosperity, S.C., were charged Friday, according to online records in Newberry County.

President Trump is holding his first rally in Ohio on Saturday night at 7 PM Eastern. The crowds started lining up to see Trump early in the morning. It will be a historic event! Independent journalist Brendan Gutenschwager posted this up moments ago. Having been to an earlier Trump event this seemed a bit odd. We witnessed excellent security when we attended a massive Trump rally in the fall in Pennsylvania. But we did not see armed men in green uniforms.

The man who is accused of shooting a Daytona Beach police officer in the head on Wednesday was captured early Saturday in Georgia. Police said Othal Wallace was hiding out in a treehouse on land affiliated with a black nationalist paramilitary organization. Although Wallace had an arsenal with him when arrested, he was taken into custody without injuries. Wallace is accused of shooting Daytona Beach police officer Jason Raynor in the head. He faces a charge of attempted first-degree murder of a law enforcement officer.

Biweekly Prepper Thread #1I was going to do a monthly prepping thread but after looking through my external hard drive and thinking about how things are going in the nation and world, I figured time's a wastin' so I'm going to try and do them a little more often, maybe biweekly. I'm going to make some downloads available that come from that external hard drive as we go. I think a good place to start is with nw_arizona_granny's content that I copied from another forum where I knew her as AZ Granny. It has to be the same person because...

Can you imagine Ghostbusters without its signature "who you gonna call?" theme song by Ray Parker Jr.? As it turns out before Ray Park Jr. became involved with the film, a handful of sample theme songs were made but didn't make the cut and now one of them has made its way online. The musical project known as Hughes/Thrall was enlisted to develop a theme and one of these themes has appeared online via artist Pat Thrall's Soundcloud. Here is what Thrall had to say about the track and let's just say, some of his language is pretty colorful: "This...

John understood that his role was to prepare the way for Christ, and then to step aside: “He must increase, I must decrease” (John 3:30). The birth of Jesus is celebrated at Christmas (beginning of another quarter) in December—at the Winter Solstice, as the Sun begins to “increase” in day light and the day lights grow longer each day. The Bible indicates that John was born six months before Jesus (Luke 1:26), so his birth celebrates during the Summer Solstice, as the Sun begins to “decrease” in day light and day lights become shorter. Summer Solstice has the longest day...

A new report revealing that Google and the USAID-funded Wuhan scientist Peter Daszak’s virus experiments for over a decade unearthed what could be considered one of the “biggest scandals” of our time, Steve Hilton said on Monday.“It’s honestly one of the biggest scandals for, I don’t know, a hundred years.” Hilton said during an appearance on “Fox News Primetime.” “I can’t think of a bigger one.”“The Next Revolution” host referenced the “shocking” report published by the “The National Pulse” which reveals financial ties between Google and Daszak’s EcoHealth Alliance, understood to be “a controversial group that has openly collaborated with...
