Give President Trump, Vice-President Vance, their Cabinet, Congress, our Military, our State Governors, Legislators, and all Local Governments an understanding of how close America is to extinction. Help them, and us, see that we MUST hold on to the way our country was founded—first upon You and Your Law—and then with capitalism, so any citizen can become whatever they ch

Help us to remember the former things: The wars that were fought, the men who died, first to make this country free, and then to keep it free and preserve our ONE Nation under God. We look to You for salvation—both physically and spiritually—for You are God, and there is no other.[1] There is none like

Instead, I’m going to focus on good, especially since we are about to celebrate America’s 250th Birthday. Lately, as I travel from here to there, I am blessed by the America 250 decorations. I have no idea the political beliefs of those who dwell in the beautifully adorned homes, but I know in my heart they love our country and are proud to be an American. Have y
