THANK YOU: for the prayers and cards sent to my sister, Helen Graham, during her illness. She loved them! She loved her Church Family, Sunday School Class, Pastor Campbell & Shirley, the bus trips, and worshipping the Lord at Church of the Open Door! She was a real prayer partner! Her pleasant smile will be missed. She is now full of “JOY” as she met her Lord face to face! I appreciate the Church Family! In Christian Love, Mary Whalen

From My Heart
A national left-wing women’s rights group (or I suppose I should probably say a left-wing birthing person’s rights group) has declared that the summer of 2022 is going to be “the summer of rage.” This will be an interesting summer as the Liberals realize they only have until November to destroy America before the election shifts the power in Congress and brings to a screeching halt this agenda the Biden Administration and the Liberals are pushing.
If the Supreme Court rules against Roe vs. Wade and kicks the matter of abortion back to the States, you can be assured there going to be a huge effort to dismantle every part of our country. These liberal groups will fill the streets with angry protesters, burning, looting, and ranting about how the mean ole Conservatives oppressing the rights of women (oops…birthing persons) and how they are being stripped of their Constitutional right to abort their baby if they so choose!
They know the ruling of the Supreme Court (if John Roberts has the intestinal fortitude to announce the ruling), does not abortions. Their ruling will only send the matter back to the States, and each State will then decide whether it is going to continue to murder the unborn. These Progressive groups know this, but as one of the Progressives proudly stated once, “Never let a good crisis go to waste.”
As time continues toward the coming of the Lord Jesus, we are watching our society slide faster and faster towards destruction. Some of the abortion bills introduced in the Liberal States added language which allows a mother to decide within several weeks whether she will keep or kill her newly born child. I understand that language was in the original bill introduced to the Maryland House and Senate but was removed at the last minute.
Isn’t it strange they cry, “My body, my choice!” But when an American citizen says concerning the Covid vaccine, “I choose not to take the vaccine,” these same people say you should lose your job and not be allowed out in public. I suppose the only choice any of us have is to do what the Progressive Liberal Left says.
It is probably going to be a long summer for America. Please pray daily for your country and beg the hands of God to cradle America in His loving arms. The Lord must certainly be returning soon to snatch His Bride away and take us all to Heaven to be with Him. But if the Lord tarries His coming, we best pray for the Lord to intervene in America. Unless there is a quick national revival and moving of God, we are going to lose our country.
Have a wonderful day and stay close to the Lord.
Pastor Norris
