>JUST IMAGINE
by Michael T. Smith
When I married Ginny, I gained a new son, daughter and four
grandsons. I became an instant grandpa. Over the July 4th Holiday,
I got to meet my new daughter and her three boys for the first
time.
It took a day for my new grandsons to warm up to me. The first day
they stared at me, perhaps wondering what they were suppose to do
with this man, who they were told is "grandpa." I waited patiently.
I knew boys like to play. They'd come to me in their own time.
On day two the oldest two were doing summersaults over my lap. The
youngest, Ben, took a little longer, but yesterday he raced me
across the yard thirty times and won every time.
The weekend brought back memories of my own childhood. We had such
imaginations. In our minds, a tree was a tower to spot approaching
bad guys, a big rock became mountain, a fallen log a space ship
headed to the stars. We had toys, but we had to use our imagination,
not like the new toys I see my grandkids with. Our toys didn't talk,
and if they did, you pulled a string to make it work. We had blocks
to build, crayons to create, trucks and cars to push. They were
simple toys that required imagination.
I thought about the toys in my garage, the ones I saved, when my
children outgrew them. They were simple and needed their imagination
to work. "Mr. Potato Head" allowed them to learn parts of the body
and giggle at the funny face with an ear where it's mouth should
have been.
I still have an old plastic phone. It has a dial to turn, a bell
that rings when you push a button, and that's it. It doesn't talk,
squawk, beep or move around the room. It's simple and was used when
they played house, nurse, doctor, and secretary.
I have a toy doctor's bag, with all the plastic doctor's tools. I
remember all the broken bones, cuts, bangs, scratches and aches my
daughter repaired as I lay in her office moaning.
Most toys today do it all. We don't need imagination, it comes in
a box: video games that take us into another world or reality,
talking toys, with vocabularies better than most people;
computerized toys to teach the alphabet. Kids sit and have
imagination brought to them. The teaching toys are great, but
children tire of them; it's like being in school.
When my son was young and tired of his toys, he would come to me,
"Dad, I'm bored."
"Go find something to do." I'd reply.
"I don't know what to do."
"Go outside and find a friend."
"Naaa! I don't want to do that."
"Use your imagination."
"Huh?" What do you mean?" he asked.
"Well, when I was young..." You know the routine.
Sports is the same. We're entertained for hours watching someone
else have fun doing what they are good at. Wouldn't it be better
to be playing yourself? If we don't like the sports available to
watch, we create new ones. It doesn't matter what, people will pay
to see it, because they need to be entertained. I haven't heard of
world championship worm digging, but if someone offered a large
cash price, people would buy tickets to scream at the contestants.
I worry. Are we becoming a society that needs outside influence to
have fun?
I think I'll go climb a tree. Maybe there's pirate ship on the
horizon or someone is attacking my castle.
Just imagine?

Victory! Wicked Abortionist Who Bragged About Cutting Babies
Vocal Cords Is Suspended
Abortionists often claim they are just doctors who are helping a
woman practice her “right” to do whatever she wants with “her own
body”, even though everyone knows nothing could be further from
the truth.
And then there are those abortionists who take it even further –
and brag about the horrible things they do to babies – as if they
get some kind of sick pleasure out of watching them suffer.
One abortionist boasted how she prevented babies from screaming by
slitting their vocal cords – but she ended up paying the ultimate
price.
Leah Torres is an abortionist from Alabama who caused a firestorm
when she claimed she doesn’t kill babies for the money but does it
to end the “unwanted” pregnancy.
As if she is some sort of hero for women.

Sadly, this reminds me of the ultimate predator - a serial killer.
We often are shocked to see that our innocent places have been
infiltrated by evil people. The devil likes to hide in plain sight.
Places we think are safe for our children, for instance, we find
are where evil likes to rear its ugly head. We learned in the news
that some childcare providers, schools, churches, boy scouts and
girl scouts have people molesting and taking advantage of our
children. We found out the serial killer known as the BTK killer
was a husband, father, a Boy Scout volunteer, a murderer, a church
leader, a child killer and a stalker.
Why? Because using our safe places against us is what a predator
will do. They almost always take advantage of the most vulnerable.
An angel of mercy or angel of death is a type of criminal offender
(often a type of serial killer) who is usually employed as a
caregiver and intentionally harms or kills people under their care.
https://tinyurl.com/y4n6sjpv
So it wouldn't be too surprising to me to find serial killers
hiding in plain sight as doctors. Especially ones that can murder
and get away with it under the guise of being an abortionist.
We learned of this horrific story - More Than 2,000 Preserved
Fetal Remains Found on Property of Deceased Indiana Abortion
Doctor - Dr. Ulrich Klopfer's license was suspended twice
Klopfer was “likely Indiana’s most prolific abortion doctor in
history with numbers going into the tens of thousands of procedures
in multiple counties over several decades.”
https://tinyurl.com/y4ajxu63
We also know serial killers keep Trophies of those they kill.
7 Trophies Saved by Serial Killers - The Lineup
https://the-line-up.com/serial-killer-trophies
So this is why murdering babies in the womb is so despicable.
It is even more outrageous for people to say that an unborn
child is not a human. What is it then?
God's Word teaches us how he feels about unborn babies. He sees
them as humans and has chosen us for His own even before we
were born.
God Knew Us Before We Were Born
https://tinyurl.com/y5jfzfq3
Do not be deceived by the devil's cunning stance of abortion
being the right of a woman because it is her body. The devil
hates people so he, of course, wants them dead - the sooner
the better as far as he is concerned.
As far as I am concerned, murder is murder. It is one thing to
abort a baby before it has a heartbeat - before 3 months. You
are not killing it in my view because it is not alive since the
heart is not developed enough for a heartbeat. After 3 months,
it is a living human being. It is not right to abort or kill it.
That is murder just as killing one's own child is murder. A
woman does not have that right. Nor should she.

>None of These Diseases
"If you diligently heed the voice of the LORD your God
and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His
commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none
of the diseases on you which I have brought on the
Egyptians. For I am the LORD who heals you."1
Regarding the laws God gave to the ancient Israelites.
While perhaps seeming somewhat strange to us today,
many of these were actually laws of health and hygiene.
If the people heeded and lived by God's laws, they
would be a whole lot healthier than their counterparts
in Egypt. In a very similar way, living according to
God's laws and principles will also help us to live
happier and healthier lives.
For example, Ravi Zacharias writes: "In a fascinating
article in the April 2000 issue of Christianity Today,
psychology professor David G. Myers sifted through
evidence to see if it indicated whether faith more
often uplifts or debilitates. He writes, 'We now have
massive evidence that people in active faith
communities are happier and healthier than their
un-churched peers. Recent epidemiological studies
reveal they even outlive their un-churched peers by
several years.'
"After paragraphs of citing statistics gathered from
the United States and abroad, he concludes that the
correlation between faith and morality is more
commonsensical than one might think. 'If your car broke
down in a crime-ridden area and some strapping teenage
boys approached you,' asks commentator Dennis Prager,
'wouldn't you feel better to know they had just come
from a Bible study?'"2
Suggested prayer: "Dear God, again I thank You for the
laws and principles found in Your Word that, when
followed diligently, guarantee a healthier, happier,
and more productive life. Help me always to live in
harmony with Your Word. Thank You for hearing and
answering my prayer. Gratefully, in Jesus Christ's name,
amen."
1. Exodus 15:26 (NKJV).

>The Vine and the Branches
"I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains
in Me and I in Him, he will bear much fruit; apart from
Me you can do nothing."1
"A Bible scholar and pastor tells about a piece of wood
that he keeps on his desk. He took this piece of wood
from a vineyard in the San Joaquin Valley. It is a
section of vine out of which grows a branch.
"The owner of the vineyard told him that if two people
were in a tug of war using this section of the vine, it
would break. However it would never break where the
vine and branch are joined together for that is the
strongest point of the vine. A vine, according to this
teacher, is different from a tree. If you pull on a
branch that goes into a tree, it will break at the
trunk of the tree--in a tree that is the weakest place.
But in a grapevine that is the strongest point--where
the branch is joined to the vine."2
Perhaps this is one reason Jesus likened those who
truly put their trust in Him as a branch grafted or
joined into the vine, the vine being Him. That bond is
unbreakable. As Jesus said, "And this is the will of
him [God] who sent me [Jesus], that I shall lose none
of all that he has given me, but raise them up at the
last day. For my Father's will is that everyone who
looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal
life, and I will raise him up at the last day."3 For
further help see: “How to Be Sure You’re a Real
Christian" at: http://tinyurl.com/real-christian.
Suggested prayer: "Dear God, thank You that my bond to
Jesus is unbreakable, not because of anything I have
done (except to believe that Jesus died for my sins),
but because of what Jesus has done for me in giving His
life to save me from my sins. Thank You for hearing and
answering my prayer. Gratefully, in Jesus Christ's name,
amen."

>Encourage One Another
"Therefore encourage one another and build each other
up, just as in fact you are doing."1
King Duncan writes about Larry Doby who was one of
baseball's finest hitters. He is well known by baseball
fans because he was the first African-American to play
for an American League team. "The year was 1947. Doby
was a promising rookie for the Cleveland Indians but he
didn't look very promising his first time at bat. He
was tense and nervous. He swung at three pitches,
missed each of them, and struck out badly. He didn't
get within a foot of the ball. Slowly he walked to the
dugout with his head down. He sat on the very end of
the bench and rested his head in his hands.
"A player by the name of Joe Gordon was on that same
Cleveland team. Joe was an outstanding second baseman.
He batted right after Doby. Gordon had a good record
batting against the pitcher who was on the mound that
day. But something quite extraordinary was about to
happen. Joe Gordon went up to the plate and missed
three pitches in a row--each of them by at least two
feet. He walked slowly to the end of the bench and sat
down next to Larry Doby. Then Joe Gordon slowly put his
head in his hands.
"Did Joe Gordon strike out that day deliberately? We
will never know. However it is interesting to note that
every time Larry Doby went out on the field from that
day on, he first picked up Joe Gordon's glove and
tossed it to him."2
One would suspect that Joe Gordon probably did strike
out deliberately. Good for him if he did. Sad to say
there are some people in the church who are threatened
by anyone who might be able to do something better than
they can do or gain a little more recognition, so they
underhandedly seek to block them at every turn. Think
of how the religious people of Jesus's day treated Him?
They were so green with envy, they eventually had Him
crucified.
But thank God for the "Joe Gordons" who have the gift
of encouragement and exercise it generously! Let's all
encourage someone today. It could make a great
difference in their life--perhaps for eternity.
Suggested prayer: "Dear God, thank You for the many
people who have encouraged me along the way … have
cheered me on when I was dragging my feet … and lifted
me up when I have fallen. Please help me to do the same
for others. And above all, thank You for Your unfailing
faithfulness to and everlasting love for me, even when
I have been at my worst. Thank You for hearing and
answering my prayer. Gratefully, in Jesus Christ's name,
amen."
1. 1 Thessalonians 5:11 (NIV).

...This brought to mind our President Trump...
While the Democrats likes to blame Trump for downplaying the
Covid-19 virus, I saw a man that was not wanting to panic the
American people. I saw a leader who was being as positive as
possible during a particularly scary time for the world. He
wanted to put our minds at ease but at the same time keep us
safe so he early on banned all travel from China. As usual the
left name called and huffed and scoffed at his actions. But he
did what he felt best for all Americans. Which turned out to be
true.
President Trump is a man that likes to encourage others. He
is a leader that gets people in gear to get the job done. He
is one whose compliments easily slide off his tongue to those
he is fond of or wishes to work with. He can even find nice
things to say about his enemies when he wants to do business
or work out a deal with them. It is all about getting along
with people. That is how Trump puts it. It is not a bad thing
to want to get along with our enemies. We just show our strength
and let them know we will not be moved. We'll then have mutual
respect for each other. As President Trump puts it - Peace
through strength.
I was especially upset with these remarks from Former First
Lady Michelle Obama: 'Trump is “pinning [violence] on what’s
been an overwhelmingly peaceful movement for racial solidarity;
it’s true, research backs it up; only a tiny fraction of
demonstrations have had any violence at all - What the president
is doing is - racist.”
A study by Princeton University found 570 Black Lives Matter
led "protests" turned into violent riots.
https://tinyurl.com/y5ehqzss
I saw her sweet and innocently say this as if it were absolutely
true. I was incredulous at her bold face lies. All we have to
do is look at a the BLM violence in the cities.
Tucker: Anarchists are working to tear down America
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgaFgljFd4A
These riots are not about a peaceful protest. BLM is so full
of violence in their protests that on social media they are
not Black Lives Matter - their BLM stands for Burn, Loot and
Murder.
These people are ones full of hate and have nothing to do
with the civil rights of minorities like Michelle Obama
boldly lied about as if we are supposed to not believe our
own eyes!
I recall her having gone to this church - "G D America" sermon
from President Obama's former pastor, Jeremiah Wright, Chicago’s
Trinity United Church of Christ - which Obama attended from 1988
to 2008, also called Israel an apartheid state. Wright said that
African-Americans, Native Americans and Palestinians have
suffered under the “three-headed demon” of “racism, militarism
and capitalism.”
http://en.inn.co.il/News/Flash.aspx/338671
Barack Obama was at a meeting in 2005 with Rev. Louis Farrakhan
who is anti-Jew and has a fundamentally anti-white theology.
So it is of no surprise that she lied. She and Barack are against
capitalist America and want to fundamentally change it to suit
their socialist agenda. Even though socialism has never worked
- ever - in history - in any country.
They blame Trump for what they are actually wanting to do or are
already doing. So when the Democrats blame him for purposely
wanting to hurt or kill Americans by saying he doesn't care about
them. I guess that is their end game.
Trump on the other hand is working hard for America! He wrote:
"Last night’s debate between our wonderful Vice President and
Phony Kamala proved one thing: the Radical Left would DESTROY
America if they win in November and they cannot be trusted.
Mike Pence was incredible and exposed the Radical Left for their
lies and deceptions.
He did a great job fighting for America. He reminded the American
People just how far we’ve come in the last three and a half years.
We’ve lowered taxes for the middle class, we’ve protected
pre-existing conditions, we’ve fought for the unborn, we’ve
strengthened our military, we’ve defended our great law
enforcement and we are quickly developing a vaccine."
I love God and America, so I will vote for Trump and Pence!

>Don't Trust Your Feelings
"'You will not surely die,' the serpent said to the woman.
'For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened,
and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.'"
Genesis 3:4-5
On July 31, 1964, Country music star Jim Reeves and his piano
player Dean Manuel took off from Batesville, Arkansas. Reeves was
piloting his Beechcraft Bonanza and his destination was Nashville,
Tennessee. Reeves was qualified only to fly during clear weather,
but a storm quickly rose and dark skies and rain buffeted the
small airplane. Then about 5 p.m., the plane disappeared from
airport radar, just ten miles from Nashville.
Two days later, the wreckage and Reeves and Manual's remains were
found in a heavily wooded area. The official report said that
pilot error was the cause of the accident. Reeves had probably
experienced vertigo during the storm. Vertigo is the disorienting
sensation caused by an imbalance to the inner ear caused by the
person leaning in one direction.
While in the dark clouds and the buffeting of the storm, Reeves
could not discern what was up or what was down. His inner ear
probably gave him the sensation that he was in a turn and he
overcompensated by turning the aircraft in the opposite direction.
If Reeves had been trained to fly on instruments, he would have
been able to overcome this false feeling of orientation.
God has given us an instrument to live by - HIS WORD. We are not
to trust in our own feelings or to make decisions "by the seat of
our pants." Today in prayer, thank God for the Bible, that it can
be trusted and it can preserve us from all types of danger.
"Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path."

>Servants Make Themselves Available
By Rick Warren
"No soldier in active service entangles himself in the affairs of
everyday life, so that he may please the one who enlisted him as
a soldier" (2 Timothy 2:4 NASB).
Real servants make themselves available to serve. Servants don't
fill up their time with other pursuits that could limit their
availability. They want to be ready to jump into service when
called on.
Much like a soldier, a servant must always be standing by for
duty: "No soldier in active service entangles himself in the
affairs of everyday life, so that he may please the one who
enlisted him as a soldier" (2 Timothy 2:4 NASB).
If you only serve when it's convenient for you, you're not a real
servant. Real servants do what's needed, even when it's
inconvenient.
Are you available to God anytime? Can he mess up your plans without
you becoming resentful? As a servant, you don't get to pick and
choose when or where you will serve.
Being a servant means giving up the right to control your schedule
and allowing God to interrupt it whenever he needs to.
If you will remind yourself at the start of every day that you are
God's servant, interruptions won't frustrate you as much, because
your agenda will be whatever God wants to bring into your life.
Servants see interruptions as divine appointments for ministry and
are happy for the opportunity to practice.

>LISTEN TO YOUR WORDS
By Gail Rodgers
Have you listened lately to the words you use when you speak to
those nearest and dearest to you?
Sometimes in the hurried flurry of our day we simply overlook the
way we are communicating. We excuse our hasty words and harsh
tones because we are tired or stressed.
God's Word reminds us that our words are very important. We need
to take responsibility for what comes out of our mouths. Listen
to these wise words...
"Reckless words pierce like a sword but the tongue of the wise
brings healing" (Proverbs 12:18).
Our sharp words have the ability to cut the people around us. A
wise person will consider what their words are doing and will seek
to communicate in a way that brings healing rather than hurt.
We know that our communication is made up of words, tone and body
language.
* Our words only make up about 7% of our communication.
* Our tones make up 38%.
* Our body language makes up the remaining 55%.
Take note today of what your communication sounds and looks like.
It may surprise you. Ask the Lord to remind you to be wise in your
speech and gentle in your tones and body language.
The world out there is filled with sharp words of sarcasm,
criticism, negativity and worry. Go against the flow and ask God

Filmmaker Richard Sidey shares a wonderful look at a mother polar
bear and her two cubs that he encountered in the Arctic Ocean. I
have always loved polar bears as I find them to be fascinating
creatures to be able to survive in such a harsh environment.

>-->“COVID is God’s Gift to the Left” - Jane Fonda
Now I was going to leave this as simply an 'In The News'
item, but really? What a horrible thing to accuse our loving
God and Father of! The only way this is true would be if you
change the Captital G to a lower case g - then yes - it is
Satan's gift to the Left! There you have the author of this
nasty thing!
“I just think that COVID is God’s gift to the Left,” Jane Fonda
said. “That’s a terrible thing to say. I think it was a very
difficult thing to send down to us, but it has ripped the band-
aid off who [Trump] is and what he stands for and what is being
done to average people and working people in this country.”
Hello! Is she a real blonde? The average working people in this
country love what he has done for them - lowest unemployment
rates for all minorities ever in the US was achieved by Pres.
Trump! Women seeing the highest number employed in decades! He is
a fighter bringing our jobs back and giving us opportunities we
were told would take a magic wand to bring back here in America!
You can tell the average American loves Trump by the thousands
who attend his rallys, Boat Parades, Car Parades, Bike and
Motorcycle Parades and Truck Parades. Biden hasn't got the love
of the American people because he hasn't done anything for them.
He has little turnout for anything. The only ones who love Biden
seem to be those who are against this country or who want to keep
sucking the money from the average American workers or Satan has
blinded into thinking a hard working New Yorker billionaire Trump
doesn't have enough of a smooth tongue to please their high
standards of moral piety. They judge him more by his talk years
ago in what he thought was a man to man private conversation than
in is actions and demeanor of today. Which is noteworthy to me.
Not only has he done wonders to turn around this country from the
economic failures of Obama, but Trump prefers to use the word 'we'
instead of me like Obama liked to do when speaking about his
accomplishments. And unlike Obama, Trump likes to mention God
asking for His blessing for us and America.
"The leftist actress, who is known for trashing America to our
communist enemies during the Vietnam War, also said that COVID was
a “gift” because it will let the radical left get its way with
climate change policies they’ve long pursued in Washington.
“We are people who can help determine which way humanity goes.
What a great gift,” Fonda said rapturously, “what a tremendous
opportunity, we’re just so lucky, we just have to use it with
every ounce of intelligence and courage and wherewithal we have.”
Yes, Jane, the devil is smiling gleefully at the burned, war-
torn buildings as the hopes and dreams of these small business
owners (mostly minorities) goes up in smoke. He is rubbing his
hands together and dancing from "The coronavirus has plunged the
world into calamity. Studies and statistics have suggested that
the weight of the virus on people’s minds has driven them to drug
abuse and subsequent overdoses, and even outright suicides. In
October, a report by the American Medical Association warned that
COVID lockdowns have increased the use and abuse of opioids. The
report found that up to 40 U.S. states have reported higher rates
of drug overdoses.
"Also, the death rates both directly from the virus and
tangentially are only added to the economic destruction wrought by
the lockdowns in nations worldwide. One recent reckoning of the
loss claimed that the coronavirus has cost the world’s economy
$3.8 trillion."
Oh, happy Jane. You may be smiling along with the devil but by
all means, I will not stand by and let you pin all this heartache
on God Almighty who is love! Love doesn't do this. This is the work
of the devil. Which God with Jesus Christ and all his faithful are
working hard to turn around!

that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
God will make all this evil work together for good for those who
love Him and trust in him.

>Destroy The Ites
(By Steve Troxel, God's Daily Word Ministries, www.gdwm.org)
Moses had led the people of Israel through the desert for 40 years
and was now preparing them to cross the Jordan River into the
promised land of Canaan. As part of this preparation, Moses reminded
the people how God had provided for all their past needs and
reviewed the laws by which God expected them to live; "and if we are
careful to obey all this law before the Lord our God, as He has
commanded us, that will be our righteousness" (Deuteronomy 6:25).
The people of Israel would be brought into a right relationship with
God as they worshiped Him and obeyed His commands. But as they
entered the promised land, there were many enemies which had to be
removed.
Deuteronomy 7:1-2: "When the Lord your God brings you into the land
you are entering to possess and drives out before you many nations -
the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites
and Jebusites, seven nations larger and stronger than you - and when
the Lord your God has delivered them over to you and you have
defeated them, then you must destroy them totally. Make no treaty
with them, and show them no mercy."
These enemies posed a serious physical threat, but the longer term
danger was to their spiritual survival. God wanted these "Ites"
completely destroyed because their worldly gods would continually
pull at the heart of His chosen people; "Be careful, or you will
be enticed to turn away and worship other gods" (Deuteronomy 11:16).
This can be a difficult message with today's soft view of sin. But
there is an important lesson for each of us who desire a close
relationship with God. Today, Jesus has provided the path to
righteousness; "This righteousness from God comes through faith in
Jesus Christ to all who believe" (Romans 3:22). But God still
desires the entirety of our heart and expects us to turn from
anything which pulls us away from an unhindered and unrestrained
devotion.
As he leads us into His promised land of rest and peace, there will
always be enemies which entice us to turn from God, many temptations
which compete for our time and thoughts...and for our worship. These
"Ites" will appear stronger than our ability to conquer. But as we
follow hard after God, He will grant us victory; "the Lord your God
will drive out those nations before you" (Deuteronomy 7:22).
What enemies take us away from the worship of God? What addictions,
activities, desires or fears are consuming our heart and keeping us
from being focused on Jesus - keeping us from a closer relationship
with our Heavenly Father? Let's be determined to possess the land
and fully give our heart to God. Let's identify the enemies which
hinder our walk and, without mercy, let's completely destroy the
Ites.
