Don’t Be A Fool – Vote April 1
Voting in local elections is crucial because it directly impacts the decisions that affect your everyday life. Local officials, like mayors, city council members, and school board members, shape policies on issues such as public safety, infrastructure, education, and community services. These elections often have lower turnout than national ones, meaning your vote carries even more weight in determining outcomes.

Cassidy’s Trans Insanity
On Tuesday, March 11th, State Representative Kelly Cassidy stood on the floor of the Illinois House to denounce Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and Illinois Republican legislators who had spoken out against biological boys in girls' sports. In her generalized and dramatized denunciation, Cassidy makes some wild accusations about those who want to protect kids from trans ideology.

Prayer Bulletin for March 2025
Prayer should be a foundational and central part of our lives as Christians. We are instructed to pray without ceasing, making our appeals to Almighty God. (1 Thess 5:16; Phil 4:6) Our prayers are often for spiritual strength, wisdom, healing, protection and/or courage. But we are also to pray for others including those in authority, those who are in need, and for our enemies.

The Price of Speaking Up
There are often times when my mind weighs in on hot button issues as I consider a “pastoral response.” Not being a pastor—but having served in various ministry leadership roles—makes this not too much of a stretch. I feel for pastors who take a stand—and pay for it.

Spicy Remarks About America’s Electoral College
It's come up hundreds of times before. But it's back again. Brace yourself for yet another proposal to nix the electoral college. In the middle of December, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Dick Durbin (D-IL) published a press release announcing a new proposal to abolish the way Americans have always elected their president. Joining him were Senators Brian Schatz (D-HI) and Peter Welch (D-VT).

On the California Fires
With a number of people dead and thousands of homes and businesses destroyed, the massive fires fueled by strong winds in Los Angeles have been utterly devastating. Prayers for all those involved are desperately needed. But the sad truth is this: California leaders and authorities were clearly quite unprepared for these fires, and much of the blame must lie with them.

Snowflake Rehab?
For the most part, America has been spared early snowstorms in 2024. Colorado being a significant exception. Here in Illinois, it is not unusual for us to get a white covering as early as October!

Divided!
The United States of America is unique. We were not established from an ethnic group, or a tribe, or a religion, or an aristocracy, or a race. Such things do not define us. We were forged from an idea. We were founded as a constitutional republic on the principles of federalism, individual liberty, limited government, and separation of powers.
