Oct 26, 2020

From the Desk of Steve Shultz: Last Wednesday, I was in the studio for the first time with Andrew Towe. He's written for the Elijah List many times, but NOW I know him personally, face-to-face. I have a renewed appreciation for Andrew. I've seen his heart and heard his testimonies. I admire what God has shown me about him, personally. In this word, you will read about "boldness" and a renewed purification that God is calling His people to. It's going to be good, friends. Very, very good!

Steve Shultz, Founder and Publisher The Elijah List & Breaking Christian News https://www.elijahlist.com ************************************* "Get Up, Church! The Spirit of Boldness Is Coming Upon You!" Andrew Towe, Chattanooga, TN The Lord spoke to me the other day and said, "A spirit of boldness is coming upon My Church. No longer will My people be locked behind closed doors, hidden behind locked doors. No! It is time for the demonstration of My supernatural power on the earth! This is the marked time for My people to walk in authority. It's the ordained time for My children to carry My glory and, moreover, to also release it to the nations. A Revival of Purity "In order for My Bride to operate in this power, the flow must be pure. I am proclaiming a revival of purity. I am calling My Church to deal with sin in the camp, for I desire to accomplish My plan for this hour. Do you not know that the earth is groaning for this movement? I have heard the cries of those who are entrapped in captivity and those bound in affliction. "Hear Me. I have chosen you. Partner with Me, that I may use you as a vessel of awakening to those who sit in darkness. Like Esther, your time is now. It is not time for you to go undercover and hide. Come out! It is the time for you to arise and shine." I prophesy that purity is coming back to the Church. It is the requirement for the next move of God. The Defeat at Ai In Joshua 7, the Israelites were set in place to conquer Ai. In fact, they were so assured of the total victory to come, that the men, who were sent to spy out the land, had returned and declared there was no need to send all the warriors to battle; instead they said they only needed two or three thousand men to defeat Ai (Josh. 7:3). "So approximately 3,000 warriors were sent, but they were soundly defeated. The men of Ai chased the Israelites from the town gate as far as the quarries, and they killed about thirty-six who were retreating down the slope. The Israelites were paralyzed with fear at this turn of events, and their courage melted away." (Josh. 7:4-5, NLT) (Photo via Pxhere) The Israelites were shocked. This defeat left them paralyzed with fear. Had God abandoned them? Had God changed His mind about giving them the Promised Land? These were the questions that must have plagued their minds. "But the Lord said to Joshua, 'Get up! Why are you lying on your face like this? Israel has sinned and broken My covenant! They have stolen some of the things that I commanded must be set apart for Me. And they have not only stolen them but have lied about it and hidden the things among their own belongings. That is why the Israelites are running from their enemies in defeat. For now Israel itself has been set apart for destruction. I will not remain with you any longer unless you destroy the things among you that were set apart for destruction. "'Get up! Command the people to purify themselves in preparation for tomorrow. For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Hidden among you, O Israel, are things set apart for the Lord. You will never defeat your enemies until you remove these things from among you.'" (Josh. 7:10-13, NLT) "Get Up!" God told Joshua, "Get up!" I also hear the Lord saying to you as well, "Get up. Get up from your brokenness. Get up from your disappointment. Get up from that betrayal. Get up from that place of failure. It may be true that you have failed but know this, you are not a failure! You are the elect of God. You have been called for such a time as this. One misstep does not define who I have called you to be. Get up!" Preparation Through Purification Take note of what that the Lord instructed Joshua. He told him to get up and command the people to purify themselves in preparation for the next day. I hear Him also declaring to you the same thing today, "Purify yourself for the place where I am taking you. Realize that there must come first a purification of My people." Joshua confronted and dealt with Achan's hidden sin. We, too, must be willing to confront and deal with hidden sin, if we want to experience God's complete victory in our lives. The Church is in an hour where God wants purification and then He will give reward, just as He did for the Israelites at Ai. (Photo via Pixabay) This Time, You Have Complete and Total Victory! "You will destroy them as you destroyed Jericho and its king. But this time you may keep the plunder and the livestock for yourselves. Set an ambush behind the town." (Josh. 8:2, NLT) Did you get that? God said in essence, "This time will be different. You will not be defeated, and you will get the enemy's plunder." I heard Him say that He's speaking the same word to you: "This time you will see complete and total victory. I am giving you a heavenly strategy to win this battle and take possession of everything that I promised you and, in addition, the plunder of the enemy." God gave Joshua precise instructions to set an ambush behind the city. Furthermore, He told him to have the men of war come from the front, even as they had in the first battle, and to allow the men of Ai to chase them. The men of Ai thought they were dealing with the same defeated army as before but what they did not understand is, this time, they were fighting a purified people whom God was fighting for. When Joshua put the plan in motion, everything that God had spoken came to pass. The men of Ai chased after Joshua and the men of war, just like before. Yet this time, God had given the Israelites a plan, and as soon as the men of Ai chased after the Israelites, the ambush hit the city. They experienced complete and total victory. You, too, are about to see your complete and total victory! * Please don't miss our emerging and newly found prophets! Subscribe here.

Pure eloquence!

Today I am totally happy.  God IS fighting for the unborn along with many of us!!  

I just watched this video.  I thought that eloquence had left our English language nearly completely!  I WAS WRONG!  One good thing about me is that I usually admit it when I'm wrong.  I guess I could say that I always admit it when I'm wrong but then we don't always see when we are wrong about something, do we?  Anyway, just know that my heart is filled with joy today.

I'm still asking for prayers for election day.  I am concerned as I've seen the anti-COVID kit that they want us to use to help "Slow the spread".  There's so many chemicals in it that my head spun just looking at the kit.  Please pray for me to be physically unaffected by all of the chemicals, perfumes, and other odors that I will be forced to deal with as I work on the election board as a Judge!

Blessings,

Dawn

Is there REALLY voter fraud?

 

  Many many people in my country are anxious about the upcoming election for President.  It's hard not to be anxious when I think of all the rioting that has taken place this Summer here.  These crazy people are promising massive riots should our President win re-election.

  I'm writing to ask you to join me in praying that this does not happen.  What have we become--a nation of two year olds??

  We know that satan and his creepies have their plans but GOD HAS HIS PLANS TOO!  I have been called to pray against ANY rioting on or after election day!  Will you please join me?

  I've heard many stories about bags of ballots filled in for President Trump found in dumpsters.  What do they do?  Do they watch for the mail from predominantly Republican neighborhoods and snatch the mail?  Don't they know that tampering with the mail is a Federal crime?  I suppose, though, that criminals aren't too concerned about committing crimes!

  I'm working the election again.  Last week I went in for my training and was it ever different than my training 2 years ago.  First of all, there was a barricade to the front door which I have never seen.

 I walked around the barricade and headed for the front door to the courthouse which I found locked.  There were numerous signs on the door like where to go to renew your driver's licenses and where to go to enter the courthouse.  

  Once I arrived at the correct door, which was right outside the Sheriff's office, I rang the bell as this door was locked too.  After a few minutes, the fully armed deputy answered my ring and asked why I was there.  I told the deputy that I had come for election board training and he said to wait a few moments.

  When the gal from the Auditor's office (who does the training) let me in, I had to sign in.  Next I was told to use the  hand sanitizer and to take a mask if I wanted one.  Explaining that I've already had COVID, I was then allowed to enter the building without a mask.

  The training was pretty normal and we all walked out together as the court house door locked behind us.  Where oh where did my America go??  I realize that many of my readers live like this normally and, if I seem like I'm being petty, I apologize.  This is not the way America has been during my long life and I don't like it.

  I don't like this feeling of nervousness that this virus has brought to us all around the globe.  Is this person a carrier although perfectly healthy?  Who touched that package of food before I did?  What if I hug my friend?  Will she think I'm careless and that I might infect her?  

  So the election is creeping up on us all.  I can honestly say that I have never felt the type of tension that we're feeling about who our next President will be.  The last election day was tense because it was proposed to allow stores to be able to sell marijuana just like one would go and buy a package of toilet paper right here in the good old Midwest.  Yes, that was voted down by a very large majority.

  I've become accustomed to election day stress, then, as I work at the polling place but this is different.  Everyone is afraid of this virus. Everyone is nervous about the Presidential election.  Everyone is nervous.  I covet your prayers for a peaceful day both at my voting location and at ALL voting locations!  

  While I'm here with you, I would also like to ask you to pray for our County Auditor named Marlys.  When I was in her office, I learned of her trials.  

  First Marly's special needs son got COVID.  Then her husband did and was hospitalized in the local hospital. Finally Marlys caught COVID too and was hospitalized in the large hospital nearby.  When she was released, Marlys went back to work as there is much to be done to prepare for the election.  However, she got an infection in her hand, where the IV had been, and was admitted to a larger hospital near us.  Please pray with me for Marlys to be fully recovered in order to be able to help with the election.

  With all of that said, I will share an article on election fraud.  There were a LOT of articles to choose from but this is the one that Father led me to and it seems truthful and only slightly terrifying.  Once again, please pray for all poll workers on November third and certainly pray that all Christians will vote for life!!!

  Have a great week serving the Lord,

  Dawn

Election Fraud In America

Chuck DeVoreContributor

Does election fraud happen on a coordinated, wide-scale basis or “at the local level from time to time” or not at all?

Contrary to the protestations of some in the media and pundit class, election fraud does occur. The concerns are, how pervasive is it? Does it change election outcomes? And should we be concerned for the upcoming General Election on Nov. 3?

In Texas, Attorney General Ken Paxton announced the arrest of four people, including a county commissioner, for illegal vote harvesting on Sept. 24. The elected official charged in the scheme won his primary election by five votes in 2018 after his opponent held a 19% lead on election night. The indictments total 123 felony charges for various corrupt election practices. The net result was someone won a race for an important local office—by cheating.

As Attorney General Paxton noted in a statement, “It is an unfortunate reality that elections can be stolen outright by mail ballot fraud… Mail ballots are vulnerable to diversion, coercion, and influence by organized vote harvesting schemes.”

The same day Texas law enforcement authorities were arresting four people for cheating to win an election, FBI Director Christopher Wray testified to Congress that there is no systemic and wide-scale voter fraud in America, but rather some fraud “…at the local level from time to time.” This prompted a response from White House chief of staff Mark Meadows on CBS This Morning who said, “With all due respect to Director Wray, he has a hard time finding emails in his own FBI, let along figuring out whether there’s any kind of voter fraud.”

Meanwhile, President Trump recently asserted that the “The ballots are out of control.”

So, who is right?

The fact is that many aspects of our election process can be gamed by dishonest players. However, because our elections are run at the county level across the nation, cheating, even systemic cheating, is done at the local level.

This was seen in Texas in 2018 during what became the most expensive U.S. Senate race in history between incumbent Sen. Ted Cruz and then-U.S. Rep. Beto O’Rourke. Texas election law limits the use of mail-in ballots. People 65 and older can request to vote by mail. But those under the age of 65 must either vote absentee, meaning the ballot will be mailed to a location out of the voter’s home county, or, failing that, the voter must claim a disability making it difficult or dangerous to vote in person (a tiny number of otherwise eligible voters can vote from jail).

Statewide, there were dozens of hotly contested races. Overall, 6.2% of Texas voters in 2018 returned their ballots by mail, up from 1.8% in 2010. The share of votes by those under age 65 more than tripled from 0.2% of the votes in 2010 to 0.7% in 2018. Moreover, something very interesting happened to the average age of those under 65 who voted by mail: it plummeted from 42 years on average in 2016—the statistical midpoint between age 18 and age 64—to 36 years. This meant a lot of voters were checking the “disability” box in 2018 so as to vote by mail, with most likely not having any disability preventing them from going to the polls in person.

Returning to the Texas indictments filed yesterday, Attorney General Paxton’s office claims that the illegal ballot harvesters focused on “young, able-bodied” voters, typically checking the “disability” box for the voters without their consent so as to apply for a mail-in ballot. This allowed the ballot harvesters to follow up with the voters and secure their ballots, guaranteeing a “proper” vote and obliterating the concept of a secret ballot in the process.  

Data from the 2018 election in Texas suggests that this activity—fraudulently applying for mail-in ballots by checking the “disability” box—was more acute in counties with highly competitive races.

In 2020 Texas is seeing a repeat of 2018—with the use of mail-in ballots likely to greatly exceed 2018’s record use.

Major candidates of both parties have been caught urging voters to check the “disability” box to vote from home, whether they are eligible to or not in violation of Texas law. The excuse proffered is COVID-19.

County election officials—at least those from the urban centers controlled by Democrats—have consistently pushed for an all-mail election, contrary to Texas law. This has resulted in a flurry of lawsuits and rulings by both state and federal courts that have reaffirmed Texas law and stated that fear of contracting COVID-19 is not a disability under Texas law.

Democrats have contended that the effort to restrict the use of mail-in ballots to conform with the law amounts to “voter suppression.”

So, why the push for mail-in ballots?

The simple reason is that mail-in ballots are as close to a sure thing as a politician can get. It allows campaign workers to “help,” harangue, or harass voters into voting the “correct” way and, if not, to substitute the “correct” ballot for the voter’s own—or toss away an “incorrect” ballot. 

The more complicated 2020 rationale is to increase the level of chaos in the General Election.

Already, according to the Washington Post some 500,000 mail-in ballots have been rejected in 23 states during the primary election. Prior to the pandemic, Texas was on track to see a record amount of mail-in balloting—likely up to 8% of the vote, with about 7/8ths of that coming from eligible voters 65 and older.

COVID-19 is likely to supercharge the use of mail-in votes, with campaigns, independent organizations, and even local officials promoting the use of mail-in balloting broadly and in violation of state law and court orders.

Should President Trump win Texas on Election Night by 3.6%, (the current average of polls on RealClearPolitics), and the amount of uncounted mail-in ballots exceeds the Election Night margin, Democrats will demand that the state not be “called” for Trump. The media will hesitate and the outcome will then be litigated.

The post-election battle in Florida in 2000 may be replayed in Texas and other states, throwing the national election into a degree of turmoil not seen since 1876.

HIS strange ways

 I've been preparing myself mentally and physically to work on the election board on the big day. I've worked it for the past 5 elections but this one is different.  This election is during COVID 19 and the numbers are really soaring here in North Dakota.

  I'm not worried for myself, as I've already had it, and built up immunity to it.  I am concerned for those who chose to come in and vote. I'm also concerned about our day being peaceful.  I may have shared this before but it's worth noting that half of us working our local election are half Republican and half of us are Democrats.  UG.

  I got the letter yesterday telling me about the training for election day.  COVID has even changed that.  The Clerks come in the morning and the Judges and the Inspectors come in the afternoon.  This way there won't be so many people in the small-ish Commissioner's room where the training takes place.

  As I wonder what Election Day will bring across the country, I am praying for peace.  I'm asking you to join me.  

  As I think of my lifetime of turmoil as a survivor of incest, there hasn't been much peace.  The time I lay on my deathbed in the Summer/Fall of 2006 there wasn't much peace. When I kept miscarrying my babies, peace was a very hard thing to find.  

  Yesterday I was having a very hard time staying calm.  That's when Father brought me this song.  I've been listening to it over and over. 

 I guess I had never really thought about how hard it must have been for Joseph to find out that the girl he loved was pregnant.  Where's the peace in that?  And Mary, who had never known a man, was with child.  Now THAT would shake anyone's peace.  Then, too, as I watched this video it registered that she was leaving her father, mother, and perhaps siblings to go with this man who had doubted her just months before.  WOW!

  Yet God was with them!  He was REALLY with them! HE IS ALSO WITH US!!!

  As we go forward into the election process, and many are voting now, I pray that the peace of God fills every one of His children!!  Our God, who helped Joseph and Mary through all of that turmoil of bringing His son into the physical realm, is here to help us too!  Let's draw strength from that thought!!

  Let's be open to the ways that Father has for us to serve Him today and in the days ahead.  They may be unusual ways--they may actually be terrifying ways, but when He is with us who can be against us?  

  Father God, thank you for all of the strange ways you bless us with every day!  Thank you for bringing us through every fiery trial so far!  Thank you for the peace that passes all understanding in Christ Jesus our Lord!

  Your servant,

  Dawn

EVERY LIFE MATTERS!!!

  If you have read here for awhile, you will know that I strongly have urged God's people to sign up for the free daily emails from THE ELIJAH LIST!  They share prophecies which God has given to His people all around the world.  God speaks to someone and they share what God said through THE ELIJAH LIST!!  It's an incredible resource!!

  I just finished reading a prophecy just moments after I watched Judge Amy Coney Barrett's interrogation by the Democrats in the Senate Judiciary Committee.  WOW--talk about great timing, Lord!! I won't share any of the hearings but they are easily found.  I do want to share this prophecy with you.

  Many Christians have prayed for many years to see the end of the abortion juggernaut!!  When we got our new President, it began to crumble even though we couldn't see it at first.  I started to believe that it WILL fall like dominoes.  Please believe with me for the lives of sweet, little babies to be safe in the womb again!

  Hold on to your hats.  God gave this prophecy even before Donald John Trump was our President--even before we had a leader who values ALL lives!  When the baby killers ruled in the government of the United States of America, this prophecy was given.  May that thought give you tingles down your spine.  

  TO LIFE!!

"Prophecy Decoders: Supreme Court Vacancy Prophecy From 2016"

Hank Kunneman and The Elijah List

With the news that President Trump has nominated Amy Coney Barrett, a woman for the vacant seat in the Supreme Court left by Supreme Court Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, take a look at this prophecy from October 26, 2016. Could this prophecy be unfolding before our eyes?

PROPHECY BY HANK KUNNEMAN: October 26, 2016

"Your Supreme Court will change for I am the Supreme Judge." God says, "Watch, for I will raise up, when there is a vacancy of two and then three," the Spirit of Grace says, "there shall be a woman that I shall place there at the helm and this shall be a compassionate woman," says the Lord, "and it shall be her compassion for the right for the unborn to live that shall overturn and topple the laws that have aborted the innocent. What does a nation look like filled with glory? Can you see it? Can you see it?" says the Lord.

Prophecy Decoders Analysis:

There is so much to unpack in this prophetic word by Hank Kunneman from October 2016. Notice that this prophecy was given before the last presidential election which took place in November 2016. This prophecy indicates a sign to watch for, and a "when" that we must take note of: "...Watch, for I will raise up, when there is a vacancy of two and then three," the Spirit of Grace says, "There shall be a woman..." The third vacancy in the Supreme Court is the when, and the woman is the sign. (Photo via Flickr)

Remember that since this prophetic word was released in October 2016, Supreme Court Associate Justice Neil Gorsuch filled the first vacant seat in April 2017. After a much-contested confirmation process, Supreme Court Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh filled the second vacant seat in October 2018. Now we are on the precipice of the third vacant seat getting filled and President Trump has just nominated a woman to fill that empty seat. Take a look at these news headlines:

NEWS: ABC NEWS September 26, 2020: President Trump nominates Amy Coney Barrett for Supreme Court seat

NEWS: The Wall Street Journal, September 26, 2020: Trump Nominates Amy Coney Barrett to Supreme Court

Let's go back to the prophecy by Hank Kunneman and note some key takeaways about the woman who will arise in the Supreme Court:

1) This shall be a compassionate woman.
2) Her compassion "shall overturn and topple the laws that have aborted the innocent."

This prophetic word seems to indicate this "compassionate" woman will help overturn abortion laws that have been in existence for decades, almost 50 years. We are truly in the midst of an extraordinary moment, a moment that could be connected to a prophecy given years in advance. (Photo via Flickr)

Could it be that this is the moment that we have been waiting decades for, when the innocent lives of the unborn are once again protected in our nation? We are in the midst of epic change, for God is the Supreme Judge and He is ruling on behalf of the innocent unborn.

As prophetic people, we must pray, pray, pray – and also VOTE! We must take action and VOTE! It is important who we elect as president, as well as the senate, which is the legislative body that confirms a Supreme Court nominee. Our voice must be heard over the coming weeks.

Our 40th wedding anniversary

 Yesterday was the third happiest day of my life!!

The first was in June of 1969 when I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Savior.

The second was October 10, 1980 when I became Mrs. Robert Bornemann.

Yesterday was the third, which was our 40th wedding anniversary, and it was an immense blessing!

First we slept until 10:00; showered; and headed for Napoleon. We ate lunch at THE WHITE MAID and took off for Eureka to quote Robert, "Check out where it all began."

We drove into the farm where we once milked 120 Holsteins then found Robert's brother's secret get away and visited with them there.

Next we drove to Eureka and headed for the United Methodist Church. Once inside, Robert and I stood at the alter and looked at each other. His quick wit came up with the words, "I suppose we could say 'We DID!'" So we did.

We walked down the aisle together and he took this photo of us 40 years after we first said "I DO!"

Next we went to Lake Eureka and I splashed in the water and talked about taking swimming lessons there as a child.

We drove all around town and talked about the places we'd gone to during our first 8 years of marriage living there.

We were delighted to see that my parent's home has been added on to!! They built a walk-out deck from the living room and are adding another stall to the garage. I was so happy to see "MY HOUSE!" in such good hands!

Then we drove down to Dad's farm and drove through the cemetery pausing by their tombstone.

Next we headed North again driving by Artas; Zeeland; the big cross; Hague; Hazelton; Moffit; Sterling; and finally arrived in Bismarck.

We went to our very favorite of favorite places to eat--the Ground Round!

After a fabulous meal there, we headed to DAKOTA STAGE THEATRE! It was the last night of the musical "Nine to Five" and we laughed and laughed. It's been a long time since I've been to a play with my sweetie and we enjoyed it immensely!

Heading for home about 10:30, we arrived back before midnight. We told Jacob all about our adventures over a slice of cheesecake and a few caramels. I didn't want it to ever end but, boy, was I tired.

As I crawled in bed beside the same man I've slept with for 40 years, I thanked God for His MANY blessings to us over the years including Cora, Andrew, and Jacob and all of our Heavenly children. Then my mind went to our grandchildren--Elsie, Timothy, Christina, and Josiah. As I held Robert close, I wondered at how God had taken our love and blessed the world with such brilliant people!!

God did it all!!

God gave Robert and I life! He brought us together and stirred up our love for each other. God has sustained us and preserved us upon the Earth through countless trials, turmoils, and heartaches!

Only God made marriage and only God sustains it! Blessed be the name of the Lord who has blessed this girl from Eureka, brought me my boy from Center, and given us a life together now on our farm near Kintyre! BLESSED BE THE ONE WHO HAS BLESSED ROBERT AND I IN IMMESURABLE WAYS!!

In agreement with the well wishes we've received, "May HE give us many more happy years together!

Thank you, dear readers, for all of the prayer support you have blessed us with over the years. We couldn't have made it without all of you!!

One happy wife,

Dawn

PS I was wearing the pearl and diamond necklace that Robert gave me on our wedding day. As you might imagine, I only wear it for VERY special occasions!

PPS.  Down below you can listen to the song that my brother sang at our wedding 40 years ago.  As I look at this photo, I can almost hear Rick singing, "God, A Woman, and A Man!"

THEY'RE MARRIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 It's an amazing world we live in!  One week ago I gained a new sister-in-law!  I suppose that's not terribly unusual but she was in the Philippines and my brother, Russell, was in Sydney, Montana!!!!  They were 16,000 miles apart but still are man and wife today!

 I couldn't be happier for my brother!  He is so in love.  Not only did he get a new wife, after 6 years of widower-hood, he is getting a new daughter too!  You can meet them both in this video.

 Russell and Jenny had to cancel their wedding TWICE this year due to COVID 19.  The second time he was totally devastated.  Then they started checking into an online wedding and found that it was possible!  

  Last week Friday night for Russell, and last week Saturday morning for Jenny, THEY WERE MARRIED!!!  

  They didn't get the big church wedding but they are married now.  Russell is filing for a passport from the Philippine government.  He is also asking for an extended stay visa so that he can be with his new family for the holidays.  Even though the borders are closed, according to what they've been told, the government will allow Russell into the country to be with his new family.  Of course, there's no way of knowing when he can get out again.  It won't matter, though, as long as they are together!!

 There was a professional TV crew that filmed the wedding on Jenny's end and they did a WONDERFUL job!  Russell has a friend from Jamaica who was his tech guy and also a witness to the wedding.  Russell's neighbors were also present at his home as witnesses.

 The ladies didn't wear their formal wedding gowns as Russell has promised them a big wedding in their own country before they move to the States with him.  That, of course, won't happen until COVID is no longer terrorizing the world!

 So, without any further ado, I give you my brother's wedding!  Please join me in blessing my new sister-in-law and her precious daughter with prayers of safety and encouragement.

  In keeping with the theme, Robert and I will celebrate 40 years of marriage tomorrow!  We were married in Eureka, SD on 10-10-80.  Forty years have passed and we are still so in love with each other! 
 
 God blessed us with 3 amazing children and 4 adorable grand children.  Everyone was here on Monday night to celebrate our anniversary.  Cora and her family can't come this weekend as Michael is the best man in his cousin's wedding TOMORROW!!  Can you believe it?  That makes 2 of Cora and Michael's friends who got married on our anniversary!!!

  To love and marriage!  Only God can preserve them over the long haul. I praise God for how He has blessed us with His patience and compassion for each other!  May He do the same for Russell and Jenny!

  I hope you enjoy watching my brother's joy on his wedding day!

They hope he dies???

  I didn't think that I could get any sadder at the demise of intelligence and respect in our world.  I WAS WRONG!!

  I'm sure that you heard our President and First Lady have COVID 19.  We learned this at the end of last week and I have been praying earnestly for them ever since.  I invite you to join me in praying for their return to good health.

  Isn't this a normal response?  No matter what one's political views are, don't we wish them well when facing something so awful as this virus?  

  Apparently not everyone thinks like a normal human being any more!  Apparently there are people in this country so evil as to wish the President dies.  Now, if Joe Biden got COVID, would I pray for his recovery?  Yes I would because then he would have more time to repent.  

  In this video you will see that people actually put into writing that they are hoping our President dies from COVID 19.  This takes quite a bit to stomach as our President closed the borders early on to prevent more people from China coming here and bringing this killer with them.  That's just the first thing that President Trump did to protect the citizens of the US.

  So now we have these Trump haters actually hoping that he dies from COVID 19.  Don't they realize that this is murder?  They are thinking murderous thoughts. "THOU SHALL NOT KILL!" is very clear in the Bible!

 I won't belabor the point that these people are so hateful that it's hard to find the words to describe how disgusted they make me feel.  I pray for them to repent.  I pray for them to see how vile they are. I would give them a BodyTalk session to help clear this out of them if they asked me to.  I would not, under any circumstances, hope that they were dead because of their petty thinking.

  Here's the video.  Beware--it is totally disgusting.  

  PLEASE pray for our President and First Lady to recover from COVID as soon as possible!  May our joint prayers make a difference in their recovery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  Have a good week!

Wedding bells are ringing

 TODAY'S THE BIG DAY!!

My brother, Russell, and his fiancé Jenny are getting married online!

Who could ever imagine such a thing?

Please join me in praying that the technology all works as they plan to tie the knot at his 8:00 PM tonight and her 10:00 AM tomorrow morning! Yes that's the same time! lol

May God bless your marriage with GREAT happiness dear brother and (soon-to-be) sister-in-law!!

If the livestream works, I will be able to watch from North Dakota and my daughter can enjoy the wedding in Minnesota. How wild is that??

That part all depends on how well the technology works in Sydney, Montana and Muntinlupa City in the Philippines!!

I praise God to see my brother so happy again!

Congratulations Russell and Jenny and (her daughter) Joanna!
