The Peace Of God Be With YouBy Paul Hayden February 24, 2025We have nearly made it through another winter! You can feel spring coming. In life, there is almost always some hope, something to be thankful for, something to celebrate or enjoy. Look for those things. You don't have to be like the Pollyanna of the 1960 film from original Disney. Hayley Mills was adorable, though, and definitely "crush-worthy." She was around 14 at the time of the movie. Better to heed the words of my namesake, the apostle Paul, towards the end of his letter to the Philippians: Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. Philippians 4.6-8 Keep watching everything that is happening in our country, and keep your common sense alive. Don't be quick to judge or evaluate anything, but be sure to be true to the truth. God bless you - have a great week! The peace of God be with you!

Paul Hayden is a Christian believer, and an American patriot, necessarily in that order. He is a student of the Bible, and is avidly interested in our role in the context of history, as understood through the heart and eyes of faith. Paul has lived and traveled somewhat widely, and now lives in the heartland of the U.S. (central Illinois), with his wife Donna - they have five grown children. Since December of 2016, he serves as the Editor-in-Chief of www.ConservativeTruth.org."I was raised by a Christian minister, Kenneth Hayden, until his death when I was 10. Then my mom Bonnalee Hunt Hayden married a farmer. So I was raised in a very down-to-earth home. My faith has grown through the years, but both in conjunction with the institutional church and through small groups and individuals, including books as well as group settings, where deep, sincere faith is shared that aligns with Biblical truth."
