From My Heart

     In my absence today, I have invited my dear friend, Dr. Glenn Mathews to preach in my place. Dr. Mathews has been here many times and is always mightily used of the Lord. I know our Church family will welcome Dr. Mathews with open arms.

     Next Sunday we will begin our Spring Revival services with Dr. John Hamblin. I want to encourage you to bring someone to church with you next Sunday. Let’s work hard to invite folks to come, and we will pray to see folks saved next week. Dr. Hamblin is a powerful preacher, and I am sure all of us will benefit from the challenging messages he will deliver.

     Much is happening in our country that the main-stream media is ignoring because it would shine a negative light on the Democrat Party. The media is doing its best to keep the Biden Crime Family’s exploits quiet and away from public eyes and ears. It looks like the Republicans are going to mop the floor with the Democrat Socialists in the upcoming November election. Of course, it is hard to tell what kind of rigging they will pull off this time around - but on a level playing field, it looks like the Republicans will take back the Senate and the House.

     If that happens, there should finally be a thorough investigation into all of this “Hunter Biden laptop” stuff.
Last week, the House Judicial Committee had the assistant director of the FBI’s Cyber Division, Bryan Vorndran, to answer a few questions. Rep. Matt Gaetz asked this fellow about the Hunter Biden laptop. When asked about the laptop, he reported it was missing, and he did not know where it was! The FBI was given that laptop three years ago, and yet the American people have no real idea what is on it because the Democrats are keeping it and its contents hidden. We now know, however, that the laptop seems to have magically vanished! Isn’t that a convenient little tidbit of information that Mr. Vorndran let out to Congress?

     It was at that point that Rep. Gaetz pulled a thumb-drive out of his pocket and said he was in possession of the Hunter Biden laptop’s contents, and he wanted to introduce it as evidence, into the Congressional record. So, the Democrats have tried to suppress the laptop and its contents, but the evidence is now a part of the Congressional record, which means it will certainly be analyzed and the truth will come out! Can you spell: corruption?

     Have a wonderful day, and I will see you next Sunday!

Pastor Norris
