It's amazing and somewhat heartwarming that we are seeing a renewed expression of personal faith from people who are often in the spotlight, celebrities, athletes, and such. I remarked the other day to my wife that UFC fighters more often express their faith and gratitude to their “Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” than do politicians, or so it seems. Politicians don't usually want to “offend” anyone, whereas the fighters don't seem to care. After their vocal expression of deep faith, many of them quickly seem to have no qualms whatsoever about using language of the most foul-mouthed souls you can imagine, flowing out of them with such fluidity!

I tend to be a bit of a “doubter,” maybe stemming from my distant Missouri heritage from the “show me” state. We need to keep our eyes open at all times, and be aware of those who say they “believe," but are at a young stage of growth in their spiritual lives. They might say or do things that are questionable, or even downright wrong or offensive, in their youthful or immature faith. 

One person in particular has caught my attention, and that is Russel Brand, who has become quite vocal in his relatively newly found faith. He even has a book out - HOW TO BECOME A CHRISTIAN IN SEVEN DAYS. Without having read it, I question it. And I really doubt that I would suggest Mr. Brand as a faith mentor for myself or anyone else, at least at this young stage in his life of faith. Not to take away from his decision to follow Jesus, I would simply say let's keep watching and learning, and see how it goes for a lifetime. 

This brings me to an aspect of our faith that means a lot to me. It is a life of faith - a whole lifetime. In the first chapter of John, written by one of Jesus' closest followers, it says the following:

9 There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.
11 He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him.
12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name,
13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

It takes that lifetime of faith, along with some stumbles and failings, to become those children of God, those faithful servants who give God all the glory, relying on His attributes that become part of our own lives through study and learning, watching and growing. As in a man's lifetime, we do not expect young children to think or do things that a grown, mature person is capable of. 

God Bless Us All!

After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, there was a real fear that California would be invaded as well. Fortunately, a Japanese assault on the mainland never occurred, but over eight decades later, California has suffered a different sort of attack, the invasion of the ballot snatchers.  

Axios' far-left “reporter” Zachary Basu is back with another dishonest story, this one about the far-left Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico and his race with Ken Paxton, describing this as “a national laboratory for anti-‘woke’ politics.”  

Let's start with a great quote:  "If two men (people) on the same job agree all the time, then one is useless. If they disagree all the time, then both are useless." That quote is by Darryl F. Zanuck.

All over the world, relationships among people, nations, organizations, races, genders, socio-economic groups, and the like are deteriorating quickly. It seems like the more we talk about having love, diversity, harmony, inclusiveness, and tolerance, the more those things slip away into more conflicts. In today’s world, some people would kill for the Nobel Peace Prize. There's a relationship problem. Prejudice, hate, always being right, or living in the smugness of moral superiority are wrong ways to relate. 

There's something about pride that keeps America from facing up to the fact that she's sliding down the tubes. Add to that the fact that we have someone at the helm of this nation in the person of President Donald Trump, who helps us to feel a little bit extra confident about our economic future. He's experienced, he's rich, and he constantly puts the welfare of this nation at the top of his list of important matters. Ah, what could go wrong?  

Can it be acknowledged that oftentimes a leader’s greatest strength can also be his or her greatest weakness? Let’s see, but please don’t think I’m comparing leaders based on their moral behavior with these examples. The question remains, how much trouble remains for Trump because of his weakness getting in the way of his strength?   

The Iranian Regime is built around a Death Cult. After 47 years of war and supporting terrorism, Iran is so arrogant that they think the rest of the world is stupid enough to believe everything they say.
