Awestruck...

I am awestruck by the early autumn beauty…

Shimmering day,

Clouds edged in glory,

Bright blue sky,

Leaves trembling, knowing their time is short-

Soon they will be released to the wind.

Faint glimpses of the eternal strike chords in my heart.

 

I can only take it in and revel in the Author of it all,

Knowing creation’s impossible existence without

A nascent Hand,

A Word spoken

And Breath to quicken and animate.

 

Alive. Healed. Filled.

I bow.

Democrats Are Holding The Government Hostage To Get Taxpayer-Funded Health Care For Illegals  Eight days into the government “shutdown,” Senate Democrats on Wednesday cast their sixth vote to keep the doors closed. They remain hellbent on their ransom demand to add another $1.5 trillion in spending, a big chunk of which would help pay for health insurance for illegal immigrants. They insist that’s not the case. 

    They’re lying. And Americans know it.

Supreme Court’s ‘trans therapy’ case is a free-speech slam dunk — that will save lives Talking to young people in mental distress and helping them become comfortable with the body in which they were born would seem like an obvious, compassionate path for a therapist to take.

   But in Colorado, it’s illegal “conversion therapy.”

The Dems are letting Antifa take over their cities — Trump is right to send federal troops to maintain order 

Two Years After October 7 Massacre, Campuses Are Worse Under The Surface  “There has been a gross campaign at the international level to demonize Israel. These are all percolating under the surface on the campuses. In some ways, the situation’s worse underneath, more organized, more coordinated, and more dangerous.”

Jay Jones And Katie Porter Say The Quiet Part Out Loud  Jones and Porter are stupid enough to say out loud — or in writing — what they believe about people who hold different political beliefs than theirs, but they aren’t alone. Not a single Democrat in Congress, nor Democrats’ Virginia gubernatorial candidate, has been willing to call for Jones’ withdrawal from the race over his murderous fantasies.

The Victory That Saved Western Civilization 

But Hanson notes that “most of the renowned historians of the 18th and 19th centuries… saw Poitiers as a landmark battle that signaled the high-water mark of Islamic advance into Europe.” Edward Creasey included it among the fifteen most decisive battles of world history. Many – myself included – believe that if Charles had not stopped Abd-al-Rahman at Tours, there would have been nothing to prevent the Islamic tide from sweeping across the continent and making Europe Islamic.

UK: We must protect our nation from the incomers who hate it   The choice is stark: either we defend Britain, or we allow her to be destroyed from within. The time for dithering is over.    

   The greatest threat to Britain isn’t abroad – it’s the hatred we have allowed to take root within.

Islam and its contempt for women – the report the female, Muslim Home Secretary must read (but won’t)

The Disastrous Appointment Of Woman Archbishop Of Canterbury  With a new woman Archbishop of Canterbury, a new Lesbian Archbishop of the Church in Wales, a new progressive Presiding Bishop of The Episcopal Church and a new liberal Archbishop of the Anglican Church of Canada, it would appear that Western Anglicanism is on a pathway to self-immolation.

A ‘pro-choice’ Archbishop of Canterbury lacks the moral authority to lead
