Today I want to put out some ways that Minnesotans can be involved in our government. 1 Timothy 2:1-3 (NIV) 1 I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people-for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, PRAY Most importantly we are called to prayer. Pray for ALL in authority. Note the results of our prayers in t

In less than 5 months, Americans will be heading to their voting polls. Are you ready? As of this date, we are still the land of the free and the home of the brave. But my friends, I fear we are at risk of losing our freedoms. Do you have plans to cast your vote? This mid-term election is of utmost importance. We will be voting for Governor, Lt Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General, State Auditor, Mn House and Senate positions. Is this important? YES! In Minnesota

Bonnie Gaspar, Child Protection League, spoke about the shallow brain. Have you ever wondered what the effects of too much screen time will have on the younger generations? As a grandma, I'm amazed at how technologically "smart" my grandchildren are. Often I have to ask these young ones to help me with my devices. Once while finding myself alone with my 3 year old grandson. He wanted to watch a certain show. I couldn't understand his words. Using an unfamiliar remote for a te

Mark Trammel, CEO of Center for American Liberty, was another speaker at the Join the Movement Conference put on by the Child Protection League in April. Liz Collin of Alpha News introduced Mark, and said of the Center for American Liberty, that they are "winning cases holding those who violate civil liberties accountable." As in the title of his talk, Mark would add, "One lawsuit at a time." Mark began by talking about the "pipeline of profit" in transitioning our children,

As part of celebrating the 250th birthday of our country, President Trump invited America's great religious communities to pray for our nation and for our people. "So as we chart our course for the next 250 years, let us rededicate ourselves to one nation under God." (President Trump, Iowa, July 3, 2025) When I read a post by Karin Miller inviting Christians to pray for our nation, I knew I had to be there. She and her group had reserved space in Cass Gilbert Park near the Ad

Mike and I recently had the opportunity to attend the "Join the Movement Conference" put on by the Child Protection League. What an honor to be present with folks who are following God and His calling on their lives. Those who recognize that we are but "strangers in a foreign land." (I Peter 2:11) They have picked up their God assignments, have stayed faithful, persevering through many trials, to speak the truth about the attack on our children. While at times the conference

Sometimes everything stops. Recently this has been our experience. Mike's mom, Betty Lou, took a fall that would change her life. While she fought hard, as she always does, her body became weak and within a few days it was apparent that THIS time, she was preparing her sights on heaven. Today I found myself reflecting on Betty and some of the ways she has changed me. Please allow me to share this reflection. ********************************************************************

Robin Dawn Sertell. My new friend. She's one of the gems that God puts in your life; an unexpected gift. Her story is an amazing one about a God who spends a lifetime pursuing His daughter. I don't want to spill the beans about Robin's story but it is one filled with miracles, testimony and determination. Her book, Miracles Happen in the Wilderness, tells of her amazing journey through pain and suffering as she struggled for life. You could say her battle started in the womb

It's been a few weeks since I’ve posted. I have to admit that I was caught up in an online mini-battle. I had posted something on social media that aligned with my beliefs. It seemed innocent-not controversial in my opinion. That is . . . until it wasn’t. An acquaintance felt a need to put me in my place. We took the conversation to a private chat so as not to give social media enthusiasts a show. But not before others had joined the comments, I just wanted to understand wh

On Monday, (TODAY) February 23, Minnesota State Senate Committee will hold a public hearing on an amendment of a bill that would put up-to-birth abortion in our Constitution. The hearing takes place at the Capitol in St. Paul today. If passed by the Legislature, they will put a proposed constitutional amendment on the ballot. This would ensure unlimited abortion in our state Constitution. Once in the Constitution, it is nearly impossible to restore protection for unborn babi

Next week, I will have the opportunity to interview Robin Sertell, an abortion Survivor who has a God sized story to tell. This post was originally published in 2024. Through these past blogs on the abortion issue, I need you to know that I'm only bringing you in on my journey. For some reason, (maybe because it breaks the heart of God?) I feel called to learn more. So I've been researching, trying to learn and remember what I've learned in the past about it. I'm sure in high

*Picture copied from Child Protection League Website I’ve been blessed to hear many people speak up about their passions in my quest to learn more about our government, candidates, and Minnesota. This morning I would like to highlight one of those groups, the Child Protection League. According to their website, *Child Protection League was created by parents and community members who actively opposed a proposed law, the Safe and Supportive Minnesota Schools Act known as the B

Mike and I went to our Caucus last night. We were able to visit one on one with some of the candidates; Michael and Laura Kreun, Michelle Tafoya, and Nolan West. Mayor Tim Sanders and Anoka-Hennepin School Board Member Zachary Arco visited our room. And we saw many folks from our city. I'm fairly new to this entry level of the political arena, so I'm still learning. Last night Delegates were chosen to represent Minnesota at the local, district and state nominating convent

The 2026 precinct caucuses will be held on February 3, 2026. This is the time when Minnesotans can show up to elect delegates to represent their precinct in the district and county conventions. If you want to have a voice in what happens in the Minnesota political realm, a great place to start is the 2026 Caucus. I found the Secretary of State website has great information. Here are some links that you may find helpful. Find your precinct? Legislative Coordinating Commission

Wouldn't you just like to hit the "pause" button on this world? Stop Everything! Breathe. Rejuvenate. Maybe sleep. Do something fun. Visit the city that no longer feels safe. But as I watch the news, it's disheartening to say the least. Wars and rumors of wars . . . protesting and chaos in the streets . . . fraud . . . drugs rampant . . . trafficking . . . sickness . .. death. Right has become wrong and wrong has become right. It's as if we are living in the prophetic Bibl

Minnesota has hit the BIG times! From Real America's Voice, News Max, CNN ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox News and many more; the events of our state have been making headlines for quite a few years now. And let’s just add the social media outlets to that list, and even our “fun” time has turned bad. And the BIG times? It's not a very encouraging report. What is happening? Where is all of this coming from? It makes me wonder if we are living in the times that the Prophet Isaiah spok

How many folks does it take to change Minnesota? At last count, we have 14 candidates who have filed to run for Governor of Minnesota, and the current Governor has withdrawn from the race. While I’m encouraged by the interest in our state to prompt all these candidates, I’m curious as to how we will go from 14 down to those will be on the ticket on November 3rd. This Saving Minnesota series hopes to walk through that process. Mary Amlaw, was a guest on our You Tube channel,

Today let's decree that America IS one nation under God. Let's be a people that will stand and declare that this country, America, founded on the principles of God, is indeed a country where the rule of God will reign. We declare that we will serve and honor the One who created all things, first and foremost. Let's declare that we will no longer be a people that follow after evil, killing our babies, confusing our children, leading by corrupt and selfish means. Instead let's

Created by Wix AI It doesn't surprise me that Governor Walz has withdrawn from the 2026 gubernatorial race. Nick Shirley's investigation on the streets of Minneapolis uncovered much fraud in Minnesota. We the people have elected these officials to run our state with integrity and honesty. We expect them to have our best interests in all of the work that they do. We did not expect to learn that 8 billion dollars, or more, would sift through the drains of bureaucracy. As our
