From My Heart

     Last Sunday evening, I was asked if we could have ice cream after every evening service during the summer months! I replied that I liked the idea! I am not sure who will pay for it! I want to thank the ABC Sunday School class for providing the ice cream last week and for serving all of us! I only wish the weather had cooperated so we could have gathered outside. But I think a great time was had by all!

     It is somewhat disheartening that the Progressive Marxists think America has not figured out their old, worn-out playbook! The American people have figured it out and spoke loudly and clearly in the 2024 election. After all the efforts to bind President Trump with every made-up scandal they could create, after two attempts to assassinate him (one that missed by only a quarter of an inch), after keeping him tied up in court proceedings for four years, and after four years of scandal after scandal from the Biden family - the American people now have their eyes opened!

     The chaos being created by the Marxists in Los Angeles and their blaming it on Trump is not going according to plan! The reason is because America is seeing through their worn-out playbook. When pallets of cinderblocks and bricks are delivered to strategic points and then used to throw at passing police vehicles or at police in general, that is clear-cut evidence that these riots are planned, financed, and organized by higher-ups! Trump has asked for the National Guard and the U.S. Marines to stop this idiocy. I suppose the point is, law and order will now be enforced.

     This whole mess in L.A. began on a false premise, but the mainstream media will not tell you the truth about that fact. The ICE agents went there to arrest a list of criminals for whom they had warrants to arrest. These were child predators, rapists, human traffickers, and folks who came into the country illegally. Yet, the Progressive Left tells folks the riots are Trump’s fault. America is not falling for the same old lame, worn-out stuff! The average citizen in California is happy that ICE is cleaning out the criminals.

     Please pray for our nation and pray for the Lord to bless and protect the brave National Guard, the U. S. Marines, the local L.A. police, and the Sheriff’s Deputies. The “lame-stream” media says these protests are peaceful! But while they say these things with a straight face, behind them is a police car being destroyed in flames. Once again, the Progressive Left is siding with rapists, murderers, human traffickers, and the criminal element!

     “Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD….” (Psalm 33:12).
