From My Heart

Our Sweetheart Banquet is just a couple of weeks away! Since we have to give a final count to Martin’s, today is the final day to get your tickets and reserve your spot. You can see Andrew Mouring in the hallway before and after the services today to get your tickets. Childcare will also be available for children up to 10 years of age. If you need to take advantage of the childcare, please sign up at the Welcome Desk by today.

     The 2022 tithing statements are available in the hallway today as well. Please stop and pick up your statement so we do not have to spend the extra money to send them through the mail. This will be the last day we will have them available for pickup - so please help us get them distributed.

     The double standard and utter hypocrisy of the Liberal Left is something that never ceases to amaze me. Donald Trump’s home was raided by FBI and Justice Department officials and searched from top to bottom! Donald Trump’s lawyers were not called and were not allowed to be in the house. The media was called and were there to video the whole thing from beginning to end. The left went crazy in their feigned shock and unbelief at such a terrible act being done by a former President of the United States.

     On “The View” over several weeks, the hosts were calling for President Trump’s head on a silver platter. “How terrible that Trump would do such a thing!” That was the narrative the media went with in that story! So, now that Joe Biden has been discovered to have “Top Secret Classified” material the story is completely different! There was no raid on Biden’s home! There was no media there to video the search and seizure. Biden’s lawyers met the FBI and followed them as they conducted their search.

     And, of course, the narrative was, “President Biden is cooperating fully and has no idea how the files got in his office, his garage, or his house!” And now, six places have been discovered where “classified top-secret” documents were stored! No outrage, no calls for investigation, nothing!

     Now, Trump was the President of the United States, and as President, he can classify or de-classify, any document he pleases! National Archives and the FBI knew he had the documents! But the documents in question in Biden’s possession were documents from when he was in the Senate and when he was the Vice-President. Senators and the Vice-President do not have the authority to take classified materials. Trump having classified documents in his possession was a “national disaster” worthy of him being thrown in prison! But Joe Biden’s having classified material was “just a simple oversight…and he didn’t mean to do it, and he doesn’t remember how they got in his possession, and he is really sorry, so… it’s all good - nothing to see here - everybody move along!” Sad!!!

Have a great day!

Pastor Norris
