(11/04/2019) She Loves Out Loud: Abortion Survivor and Her Mom on Prayer, Adoption and Depending on God.  "She Loves Out Loud" is a women's prayer movement culminating on Feb. 15, 2020.  But it is also ongoing up until then, and I suspect - if successful - that it will continue.  Consider signing up: https://shelovesoutloud.org/pray-for-us/  Men are welcome, too.

​

(05/23/2018) Dangerous Times for the Constitution and Freedom.  The cracks in our constitutional order continue to multiply and widen.  Indeed.  But while we have a battle on our hands, we have a chance at victory.  Dare I say if Hillary Clinton were president, I'm not sure our Constitution would be able to recover.  Did God have a hand in this?  For the first time in my life, I'm starting to believe that he may well have been involved in "politics," though our current national situation goes far beyond politics.  Consider joining up with our challenge to pray daily - at the same time - for our country, for our leaders and for revival - Pray for America.

​

(05/22/2018) An Invitation to God to Invade Our Schools.  Why fight a battle - the official return of prayer in the public schools - that may take years to win, or never be won.  There is nothing that prevents students in the public schools from praying - though praying in class could be a problem.  But praying before classes or during lunch or other breaks is fine.  It could catch on and even if we don't have official prayers in our public schools, it can only help to ask God to be present in our schools.  Pass it on to your kids if you have any in school - just start out with a like-minded friend or two.  It could catch on.

(10/05/2017) Mom’s March Launches National Movement to Counter ‘Women in the Pink Hats.’  Now this is a women's  "march" I can get behind.  Here is a link to their website: Mom's March for America.  Consider donating and participating.

​

(09/27/2017)  Stand up for America: Boycott the NFL.   The Center Did Not Hold: What Bothers Me Most About the NFL Protests.  This article makes a very good point.  Organization after organization, company after company, has caved in to the demands of the Left.  They pretty much never do so in the opposite direction, though to be fair, we rarely make demands.  This will only continue to get worse and worse unless we fight back.  Make them pay a price for caving in to the Left, and that means - just for starters - boycotting the NFL.  Don't watch the games and don't buy their merchandise.

​

(09/01/2017) Sign White House petition resulting from revelation that James Comey decided Hillary's innocence well before investigation was complete.  The intent is not to actually have Comey arrested, though he probably deserves it, but to send a signal that we the people believe in the rule of law and that everyone, including high government officials, need to be held accountable.

​

(07/18/2017) Teen Vogue’s Sodomy Tutorial Sparks Angry Mom’s Viral Video, #PullTeenVogue Campaign.  10 million views so far.  Make your displeasure with Teen Vogue known.  Here is more: Activist Mommy Starts 'Operation Pull Teen Vogue' After Mag Peddles Sexual Perversion to Minors.  And just in case you think there is only one article in Teen Vogue that is a problem: Teen Vogue Publishes a Gift Guide For Our Daughters: “What to Get a Friend Post-Abortion.”  There are several anti-Teen Vogue petitions, but they aren't for the right reasons.  I'll add links if any appropriate petitions show up.

(07/19/2016) As we look over the political and social landscape of America, one thing is clear: only God can save us.  We need revival in America.  But in particular, we need to pray for America.  One great way to do this is to pray the great prayers of Nehemiah and Daniel, substituting as appropriate.  Here is a printable copy of those prayers.

(04/24/2016)  Boycott Target Petition Reaches STAGGERING Number of Signers In Just Four Days.  See the 04/21 posts in Current Events about Target.  Friends, it is time we showed that there is a lot more muscle in the pro-traditional values, pro-Christian crowd than on the other side, and that corporations are making a big mistake when they side with a small minority (no matter how vocal) at the expense of everone else.  It costs nothing and takes only a few seconds to sign: Sign the Boycott Target Pledge!

(10/30/2015)   In the context of the praying football coach placed on leave, why should a coach have to instigate prayers after games?  Why not parents and other fans?  If you attend HS football games, consider taking the bull by the horns and heading out on the field after the game and kneeling in prayer.  It will be easier if you can recruit a few to join you in advance.

(06/30/2015)  Suggested action: Hang black ribbons with the American Flag as we approach and then celebrate the Fourth of July.  Here is a link to the article suggesting this.  I like the idea because it is not disrespectful of the flag, it is a public statement and it can start a good conversation with others.  If you like the idea, spread the word.

 

(06/29/2015)  Although it goes without saying that we should be on our knees in prayer, we need to be sure that we do it as well as say it.  God is far more powerful than the Supreme Court, but we as a nation and as individuals have sinned against the Lord.  We as Christians need to repent, renew and revive.  Consider Nehemiah's prayer (Nehemiah 1:5-11 (NIV)):

Then I said:
“O LORD, God of heaven, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with those who love him and obey his commands, let your ear be attentive and your eyes open to hear the prayer your servant is praying before you day and night for your servants, the people of Israel. I confess the sins we Israelites, including myself and my father’s house, have committed against you.  We have acted very wickedly toward you. We have not obeyed the commands, decrees and laws you gave your servant Moses.
“Remember the instruction you gave your servant Moses, saying, ‘If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the nations, but if you return to me and obey my commands, then even if your exiled people are at the farthest horizon, I will gather them from there and bring them to the place I have chosen as a dwelling for my Name.’  
“They are your servants and your people, whom you redeemed by your great strength and your mighty hand.  O Lord, let your ear be attentive to the prayer of this your servant and to the prayer of your servants who delight in revering your name. Give your servant success today by granting him favor in the presence of this man.”
I was cupbearer to the king.

 

We are not 'cupbearers to the king', but we can pray for those that are as well as for ourselves, our church, our community and our nation.

(06/23/2015)  Let your Senators and Congressman know that you support The First Amendment Defense Act  (S. 1598, H.R. 2802).  How our representatives vote on this bill is going to say a lot about their priorities and their commitment to the First Amendment and religious liberty.

(04/30/2015) GoFundMe has officially changed their policy so they can discriminate against Christians who hold traditional values.  For more info, go here.  To send another comment to GoFundMe go here (I have contacted them again pointing out that their new 'non-discrimination' policy in fact discriminates).
