It looks fairly certain that the IL General Assembly is going to try to pass an Assisted Suicide bill during the Lame Duck Session from Jan. 4-7 (before the new General Assembly is sworn in). It will be close so we need to contact our House and Senate legislators in their district offices before Friday, Jan. 3 at 5 p.m. Then we need to contact our House and Senate legislators in their Springfield offices from Saturday, Jan. 4 to Jan. 7.
We don't know the bill number yet. We won't know that until Saturday night. (The language will be identical to SB3499). People should just call to oppose the Assisted Suicide bill when they call their legislator. Your voice makes a difference because there are some fence-sitters and legislators who could end up voting no if they hear from their constituents.

As you have undoubtedly noticed, auto insurance rates have increased significantly in recent years. According to the latest data, auto insurance rates have jumped by nearly 26% for full coverage since the start of the pandemic, and the trend is expected to continue into 2025.
As we begin 2024, we come to you with an overwhelming heart of appreciation. Building upon the work that was done in 2023, we hope and pray that God will use us to have an even bigger impact on the state - for His glory and honor.
In our last couple articles, we examined two car commercials which both came out recently. Jaguar's ad was one of the most grotesque I've seen, but Volvo's was one of the most beautiful. Take a look at those last two articles for a detailed analysis of each ad, as well as my commentary on how dangerous it is to glorify the abnormal, and how refreshing it is to glorify the normal. After all, we all live in the "normal world" created by God.
Word of the year candidates for 2024 included “Polarization"—Merriam-Webster’s choice. Dictionary.com opted for “demure.” They both had their reasons. My personal choice would be “comeback,” recognizing the remarkable reemergence of a political “has been” and his party winning both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate.
We have a long tradition of honoring those in public service who sacrifice a big paycheck to serve the rest of us. Most have non-descript jobs, but our government could not function without them. Some risk their lives for us every day, like soldiers and police and firefighters. We honor all of them because their service is a public trust.
Last time, we examined a shocking ad recently put out by Jaguar, the luxury car manufacturer. An ad which glorifies the abnormal and urges viewers to "delete ordinary" and "copy nothing."
If you are a Christian or a conservative, you are probably more optimistic than you were a year ago. Is it because Donald Trump won the election? Maybe, but his victory is only a symptom of something I believe is more significant: an important shift in the thinking of many Americans.
With the focus on flying drones, the temporary funding bills proposed in the U.S. House, the role of DOGE in killing the first omnibus bill, and the criminal activities by the Tren de Aragua, even conservative pundits neglected to highlight what amounts to an admission of indoctrination.
Jaguar, the British luxury vehicle manufacturer, recently released an unsettling 30-second advertisement. For a creepy half-minute, a group of more-or-less androgynous characters in idiosyncratic costumes and hairstyles exit a yellow elevator and take up various unsmiling poses in front of the camera. They eventually congregate by a boulder in the middle of a pink-tinted desert landscape to stare uncomfortably into your soul.
After crossing the Delaware River in a treacherous storm on December 26, 1776, General George Washington’s army defeated a garrison of Hessian mercenaries at Trenton. This unlikely victory set the stage for another success at Princeton a week later and boosted the morale of the American troops. From these miracles (and others), was borne the United States of America..
