Scripture for the Day Oct 9th 2020: The Tongue
James 3:6 NASB
And the tongue is a fire, the very world of iniquity; the tongue is set among our members as that which defiles the entire body, and sets on fire the course of our life, and is set on fire by hell.
When I wrote the original version of the devotional this morning, I accidentally pressed the back-button, and my entire writeup (about 30 mins worth of work) vanished.

May Jesus bless you richly!

Now that Joe Biden is President, it bears repeating because much of what feared has, sadly, already taken place. Many Democrats and Liberals like to shout and scream about how we all need to become more climate-conscious. They like to march down streets and wave their placards and makeshift flags about the need to eliminate fracking and do away with fossil fuels. Make no mistake, the self-anointed leader of the Democratic Party, Joe Biden promised during his Presidential campaign that he would not "do away with fracking or oi

The dim alarm showed 2:22 a.m. A familiar sound had woken her senses. The floor board in the hallway was creaking. There was just one piece of wood in the house that made that noise. The third from the entrance door.“Alan! Alan! She shook her husband quietly, whispering: “Someone is in the house, Alan. I am afraid.”Alan grabbed her hand. Jane was the love of his life. They had two children. A son and a daughter, 2 and 3, sleeping next door. “Call 911, Sweets”, he whispered. With bated breath, he opened the quick-release gun safe in his nights
