From My Heart
We had graduation exercises this last Friday evening, and I honestly think this school year has flown by at a quicker pace than any other. I want to congratulate the graduating class of 2025 and wish all of you a bright and glorious future as you seek God’s perfect will for your lives. The times in which we are living make it a little frightening for any young person starting towards a career, but staying close to the Lord and allowing Him to guide and bless your efforts will guarantee your success.
It was hilarious to watch the “lame stream media” try to spin President Trump’s trip to the Middle East as simply one big disastrous wasted few days! Over twelve trillion dollars of new investments into our economy were achieved, and somehow, according to the media, his trip was a failure! The Qatar Emir gifted the United States Air Force and the Defense Department a new Boeing 747 to replace the aging Air Force 1, with no strings attached, and somehow the media thinks this is the worst thing since the Alamo.
Their focus was not on the respect the Middle East has for America and President Trump’s leadership, but they purposely turned the focus on Trump receiving a new airplane! It was never intended to be a personal gift, and the media knew it was not! But they reported it negatively with the intent to smear Trump. The media is so devious!
The stories being overlooked by the media (because they do not fit their agenda narrative) are the stories America needs to hear! Biden announced in a speech in 2022 that he had cancer, but the media ignored it; as a matter of fact, they did not even question what he said! And now, suddenly, it is reported he has advanced prostate cancer! He has the best doctors on the planet who provided for his care while he was President, and yet it was just discovered he has advanced prostate cancer…I don’t think so! The point is that we have been lied to for four years by the Biden White House, the Biden media, the Biden leadership, and the Democrat leadership in both houses of Congress.
Please pray for our nation. Pray for revival and for a nationwide spiritual awakening that will turn folks back to God. America needs to get back to Church, and back to prayer, and back to the Bible. The only thing that will fix the divide in our country is for America to see a sweeping revival, causing folks to repent of sin and seek the blessings of the Lord.
Have a wonderful day and take the opportunity today to draw nigh unto God! The promise in James 4:8 says, “Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh unto you.” That is a wonderful Bible promise! Use the opportunity of today to draw near to the Lord and then allow the Lord to draw near to you.
