From My Heart

     I want to thank everyone who helped with this year’s Living Cross. It takes a huge number of folks to volunteer time and effort to make this program work so smoothly, and I believe I am safe in saying things went unbelievably well each night. I was greatly blessed to see good crowds each night and many folks receiving the Lord Jesus as their Savior. So, a great big thank you from my heart goes out to all who had a part. I know the Lord will bless our every effort.

     There is so much happening in our country that the media is not covering. The reason they are not covering these things is because if they did, it would shine a negative light upon the Democrats. There is a huge war going on among the members of the Supreme Court. Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas are so angry that the (quote-unquote) Conservatives on the Court have sided with the Liberal Justices and ruled against Trump in the middle of the night (completely unheard of) and issued a horrible, politically-motivated ruling.

     Also, Ukrainian officials released a list of American officials who received “kickbacks” to help Ukraine get financial and military help from the United States Government. The list reads like a "Who’s Who” of award-winning criminals. This list was released by Elon Musk last Monday. It is strange that none of the media reported this press release. It is rather ironic to me that all these people on this list have one thing in common - they hate Trump and his “Make America Great Again” agenda.

     Here is the list and how much money they received in kickbacks for their support of Ukraine. Joe Biden - 92 million dollars, Mitch McConnell - 89 million, Nancy Pelosi - 86 million, Chuck Schumer - 66 million, Lindsey Graham - 82 million, Mitt Romney - 71 million, John Cornyn - 41 million, Adam Schiff - 62 million, Dan Crenshaw - 20 million, Liz Cheney - 77 million, and Kevin McCarthy - 42 million. It is also reported that Kash Patel has turned this information over to Pam Bondi and the White House. Of course, you can be assured the mainstream media is not going to say anything about this matter.

     There is so much corruption in our government, and it seems corruption is no respecter of persons, as both Democrats and Republicans are involved! Kash Patel has also turned over to the Attorney General, Pam Bondi, pages of documents which prove the only Russian collusion in 2016 was between Russia and Obama, Biden, John Brennan, and James Clapper! Whether anything will be done about all this stuff being exposed is yet to be seen! It is for sure that there is no statute of limitations on treason. However, we do know the Lord is going to reveal all this corruption and will bring judgment and wrath upon these perpetrators when He comes to reveal and expose evil.

     Have a wonderful day and keep your eyes on the Lord - He is surely coming soon.
