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. ********************************************************************

*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

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

As early as Genesis 1:28 we can see the idea of governmental rule. God had just created man and woman, in His image. They weren’t but a breath into God’s infinite timeline and after His blessing, He gave Adam and Eve this instruction: “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” nkjv In Hebrew, this phrase “have dominion over” conveys the notion

I have to admit, this is one holiday that hasn't settled right in my spirit. There really isn't anything one can say to me that will counteract what the Lord is revealing. You know, isn't THAT where we find ourselves? As a Christian, we're accountable to God, not man. So when something isn't settled in our hearts, it's time to search out the truth that God has for us. I have to admit, paganism wasn't really part of my vocabulary, until I met a pagan. He challenged me with sta

Where were you when you learned that Charlie Kirk was assassinated? We were watching The Charlie Kirk Show on Real America's Voice. Jack Posobiec, who was filling in for Charlie, announced shockingly that Charlie had been shot. It wasn't just a news story; it was a moment that would cause our world to shift. I'll never forget the look on his face as Jack offered up a prayer for his friend. You could see the shock, the absolute stunned reaction that would ripple across the wo

I’ve never met Charlie Kirk but I’m often found watching his rallies, debates, and shows. If he was on a stage, I wanted to listen. The man I had grown to love, put the mic down to listen when engaged in conversation. He was authentic, honest and true. So many are sharing their personal connections with Charlie. I've been blessed to see many tributes. He was wise. I’m saddened to see his words being twisted. I’m sure that I’ve watched those shows. When taken in context, he wa
