SKIM A BESTSELLER: The Road to Character


This video is a look at David Brooks' bestseller, "The Road to Character." Our society has shifted from a culture of humility to a culture that encourages people to see themselves as the center of the universe. Our thinking, actions and attitudes have changed since the 1940's. 

Back then, people would check themselves against pride or self-glorification. But today, we are encouraged to seek recognition and toot our own horns. In today's world, we find ourselves with a clear strategy for achieving career success and no strategy for developing a profound character. 

What are your eulogy virtues? What will people say about you at your funeral? Do you have a profound character? These stories about some of the world's greatest thinkers and inspiring leaders could inspire you to strengthen the weaknesses in your own character.

The War on the Middle Class (link to video)

                        

A war is going on that many are not aware of. Once you understand this war, you will see why Donald Trump has been so hated and abused to the point of two assassination attempts. He is trying to save the middle class. He is trying to save America. 

First you need to understand the meaning of two words:

The establishment are the ones in control. They are our government leaders, high-ranking elected officials such as judges, influential donors, and mainstream media outlets. 

The globalists are an elite group of rich business owners and political leaders who are determined to push forward their agenda of global dominance. 

The globalists want to destroy capitalism. They want to destroy America. The middle class is a threat to them. They have attacked small businesses to gain more control over products and goods. They hate any competitor that will take profits away from them so these companies do anything they can to crush small business owners. 

Full control is what they want. They want to dominate everything globally. They don't want you to have any freedoms...no free thinking and no freedom of speech because these freedoms are a threat to them. 

This is why propaganda, lies and deception are used to control your minds. This is why they censor Facebook with bogus fact checkers. This is why fake news is pervasive in the media. They are trying to destroy any way of thinking that threatens their global control.

The United States and the middle class are their biggest obstacles in accomplishing their goals. And this is why they hate Donald Trump, whom God calls, "my David." 

There is no middle class in third world countries dominated by the elites. The globalists hate anyone who can make money on their own because that is money being taken away from them. 

Kamala Harris hates the middle class and that is about to be proven according to prophet Julie Green. Click on the link below to watch her full prophecy. We must prepare for more attacks against our rightful President Trump and more attacks against middle class America. 

The mainstream media is about to collapse. More companies will attack and expose one another. We must pray for our neighborhoods, our cities and our schools. Things are about to look much worse before they get better. 

We are living in unprecedented times. Our world is very dark right now. But we are the light of the world, and we have the power to destroy that darkness. Draw near to God and trust that He has a rescue plan, because He is telling us every day what His plan is through Julie Green. Follow her on Rumble. She will give you hope and encouragement to get through these dark days.

Our unexpected surprise: Lewes, Delaware


On a recent trip to Rehoboth Beach, we discovered the charming seafaring town of Lewes, Delaware. I didn't know this town even existed until I saw a pamphlet in our motel lobby. The town is so close to Rehoboth Beach that we decided to check it out, and it was the highlight of our vacation. I love unexpected surprises!

Nearly 400 years old, the colonial seaport, Lewes is known as the first town in the first state. People who live here must live higher on the happiness scale, because I was in a state of absolute joy during our day trip to this enchanting town. Unique shops, fine restaurants, gorgeous architecture, beautiful homes, scenic streets, museums and a downtown area that is perfect for walking are some of the town's attractions. 

We began our day with a stop at Lewes Bake Shoppe and Coffe Roastery for an iced caramel coffe and a raspberry pastry. An open table for two on the sidewalk provided a place to enjoy our sugar buzz before discovering everything we could see on foot. 



                                             

My husband was fascinated by the gravestones at St. Peter's Episcopal Church and the beauty and history of it.  Take time to read the many signs that explain the history of the town. 

                                                                                    



Speaking of the town's history, you will want to see the Ryves Holt House Museum and Mercantile. The Lewes Historical Society does a fabulous job of providing a look at the town's history and a salute to one of their town heros, Jacob Jones. Jones was a naval officer and hero of the War of 1812. 


                                              


I couldn't resist checking out the bookstore, the antique store and the candy shop.





We discovered an unexpected surprise when we walked across the canal bridge and made a left turn toward the Lewes Harbour Marina. The perfect lunch spot awaited us at the Irish Eyes Pub and Restaurant. We sat at the bar, choosing to enjoy the open air and scenery of the canal rather than being seated indoors. 

                                                                                




Our history lesson continued with a visit to one of two fortifications mounted with cannons to protect the town of Lewes in the early 1800's. 

                                                                            



We ended our day at King's Homemade Ice Cream shop and did some porch sitting before reluctantly heading back to our car and saying goodbye to one of the most beautiful towns I have ever seen. 

                                                                                   










One lesson I learned is to always check out those brochures in the motel lobby and explore the attractions and the towns nearby that might add interest and fun to your stay. Rehoboth Beach is nice, but Lewes was an unexpected gem we were delighted to discover. 



God's Opinion on Last Night's Debate



                          


What Does God want to tell us after watching the debate last night? Kamala needed to be led and helped by the moderators. At times the moderators were debating Trump, which is not their role. As Megyn Kelly said, "It was three against one" last night at the debate. 

Kamala refused to answer so many questions and she lied repeatedly. God will expose her lies. She is a puppet being coached and helped. 

Are Americans better off than they were four years ago? She knows the answer to that question will make her look bad, so she refused to answer. 

Whatever happens in the coming months, we need to trust God, no matter how bad things look. He wants us to know that He is in control.

PREPARE FOR THE DAY! THE GREAT & TERRIBLE DAY - A MESSAGE FROM GOD - SE...


An event of biblical proportions is coming. We need to prepare. Joel chapter 2 speaks of this. Read it in your Bible. This is not something to fear for those who are walking with God. But God will always warn His children through His prophets.

Does God Care that I say Crap?


I was surprised to find a column on this exact topic. Should a Christian say crap? And what exactly is crap?... because the meaning has changed over the years. When we are close to God and we pray for Holy Spirit-led discernment, we will feel an immediate conviction when we say something that God does not approve.
