Like many of you, somewhere in my being is the urge to be a backseat driver. I say like many of you, because I know from your comments on posts that we come from the same place sometimes.

The new year, 2024, is not so much to be about our country and all of what we are seeing that transpires in it. It is to be more about our own faith beliefs concerning our own lives, such as saying, “I am now a saved saint, according to and by the Most High God I am the Righteousness of God, in Christ Jesus.”

I am a father of two children who are now adults. They have given me three grandchildren. I have memories of the times my children have been hurt or became ill. I know how I felt when I could comfort them and soothe their hearts. God loves us more. He loves with a love only God can give. Only He can heal the sin-sick heart. May we never forget God’s love for us and His ability to comfort us and save us when we let Him. 

Some folks have some interesting takes on free speech. They will rail on someone’s opinion, then insist that the person’s opinion be removed from public view. Then, they get upset when their personal attack is removed from public view.

People will not care for what you have to say until they know how much you care. The best churches I’ve ever been part of are those where most of the congregation shows one another genuine love.

We, our community, love our grapevine. Some of us call it the Indian News Network.
