From My Heart
We have a very special service planned for this year’s Veteran’s Day program, on Sunday, November 13 in the morning service. Pastor Brian is not allowing me to reveal everything, but I can tell you it will be a service you don’t want to miss! We have some very special things that will take place, so please plan to be here. That Sunday morning would be a wonderful day to bring someone to church with you. If you know a veteran, please invite them to be your guest on that morning. If you might happen to know a Gold Star family, invite them to come as well. Let’s work hard to get a full house for that service!
Election day is coming up soon, and I want to encourage you to make sure you get out to vote. I am really concerned about early voting and don’t trust the Progressive Left to be fair and honest with it! It has worried me that they just don’t seem concerned about the “red wave” that everyone says is coming! Maybe they are not concerned because they got away with fraud the last time, and very little, if anything, has been done to change the process of early voting. You might not agree with my assessment, but I just do not trust the Liberal Left! I think they will do whatever it takes to keep power. When there are no consequences for bad behavior, you can expect the bad behavior to continue!
One Conservative pundit reported last Monday that in Georgia, the early voting has already put Democrat candidates ahead of Republican candidates by 1.5 million votes. Are there that many more Democrat voters in Georgia than Republicans? Would there be 1.5 million more Democrats taking advantage of early voting than Republicans? This Republican pundit said it is already shaping up like 2020 all over again in the State of Georgia.
You might remember in Atlanta, in 2020, at midnight on election day, a video showed the Republican poll workers being sent home, and the minute they walked out the door, suitcases were pulled out from under tables. Ironically, the Republican candidates were leading when we went to bed that evening, in most states. But, when we woke up the day after election day, we were shocked to find out the Democrats had “eked out” as they called it, a win, and would have control of all three branches of government. That has really worked out well for the country and the rest of the world, hasn’t it?
Presently, we have many folks who are suffering with head and chest colds, some with pneumonia, and several other issues. Please pray for the Lord to bless and help these folks! Some of the folks are getting better and hope to be back to church soon, but some of our folks are quite sick and need our prayers.
I trust you will have a wonderful day and allow the Lord the opportunity to speak to your heart and draw you closer to Him.
