I did not write this, but I agree with it and found it very inspiring in light of recent events:

"I woke up this morning to headlines about strikes against Iran.

And I just sat there for a minute.

Coffee in hand. Kids asleep. House quiet.

Somewhere in the world, bombs are dropping. Somewhere in this country, families are watching the news a little closer than usual.

Y’all already know I’m as patriotic and red-blooded ‘Murica! as they come. I’ve worn the uniform. I love this country deeply….

But I found myself asking something I’ve really never asked before… What does the Bible actually say about war?

And what I found was Scripture is not naïve about it at all.

Ecclesiastes 3:8 says it plainly:

“A time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.”

It doesn’t romanticize it. It doesn’t pretend it won’t happen. It just acknowledges that in a broken world, there are seasons that are not peaceful.

Then Romans 13 talks about governing authorities not bearing the sword in vain. That line always makes me pause. The sword is not symbolic fluff. It represents responsibility. Protection. Justice. The weight of making decisions that affect lives.

And then Jesus gives us the one that always feels most impossible …

“Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” Matthew 5:44.

So we’re left holding tension.

There are times nations go to war. There are leaders tasked with protecting people. And there is a Savior telling us to love our enemies.

If anything is for sure, it is that tensions like these are not meant to be resolved by outrage. It’s meant to be carried in prayer.

And for me, that feels sobering. Because when I pray, I don’t have to pick an either or.

I can pray for American troops and still pray for Iranian mothers. I can pray for our leadership and still pray for civilians overseas. I can ask for justice and still ask for mercy.

Christian intercession is not partisan. It is kingdom-minded.

In fact, one of you commented recently and said, Pray, pray, and pray again until your mind is in line with Scripture. And today I see how powerful that is.

Because I could have taken these headlines any number of ways. I could have reacted in fear. Or bloodlust. Or hollow righteousness.

But instead…

Before I play any part, any part at all, I will pray until I am of sober mind.

Fear spreads faster than missiles. Rage spreads faster than facts. But prayer moves faster than both.

God,

You see what we only hear about in fragments.

You see the skies. You see the ground. You see the command rooms. You see the homes where families are holding their breath.

Protect every American service member involved right now. Guard their lives. Steady their minds. Bring them home safely.

Cover their families with peace that doesn’t depend on headlines.

Give our leadership wisdom that is bigger than ego and clearer than politics. Let restraint and righteousness lead decisions.

Protect civilians in Iran and across the region. Shield children. Comfort mothers. Guard the innocent.

Expose evil. Restrain escalation. Shorten what can be shortened.

And guard our hearts here at home.

Do not let us become hardened. Do not let us be consumed by fear. Do not let us trade prayer for outrage.

You are sovereign over nations. You are not surprised. You are not absent.

Bring justice where it is needed. Bring mercy where it is possible. And in Your time, bring peace.

Amen."

I know all of these areas are generally democratic run and they were expected to win....But I have continued to maintain hope since 2018 that we will start seeing things turn around to our side at some point... But so far the only time that has happened is 2024....

When are the cheat factors going to be removed and when are the liars going to be prosecuted?

"NCSWIC", We have it all", "we win in the end"....... Is this merely a possibility or is it for sure.... Maintaining confidence is exhausting.....

Does anyone know if the shingles Vax has issues? I am anti vax mostly, but I have Shingles right now and want my husband to get the shingles Vax before he goes through this misery...

Has anyone had it?

I'm in SW Utah and 4 fighter jets just flew low over our house at an amazing speed heading northwest.

Anyone hear about something happening??

Does anyone know of a current updated list of what has been revealed to date? I looked but can't find one.

What does this mean for the final vote? Do the senators normally change their votes?

In progress as I type

Thanks so much to all my brother/sister patriots! May all your future years be completely blessed!!

Does anyone have the link to the Santa portrait Q posted? I would like to study it since I believe it's about to become super relevant....

If I remember correctly, Nancy's laptop went missing during all of the festivities on J6.

Any thoughts on that?

Wondering if that's the little "secret" Trump was referring to....

I think Nancy knows that we know....

Since the House and Senate are so close, what will happen to the spots when Trump appoints someone to his cabinet?

Isn't it interesting how quiet Trump has been about what's going on with the races in congress?

Is it maybe because soon it will be a moot point because....as Q said.... "FISA goes both ways" .

Maybe it isn't how THEY weaponized FISA against T45... But instead how FISA has been collected on them for the last 4 years.... T47 knows this and knows congress is going to be changing soon anyway...

Thoughts?

What was up with Ivanka last night? It didn't look like her at all

Has anyone seen any comments/responses from the elite globalists?

Their tears will be my most favorite....

All these smug assholes on X now saying "we need to come together and work together" now that the election is over...

I say no fucking way.... Sorry, but I would never fall for that line of Bullshit...

Trump needs to get the steamroller out today and start getting it warmed up...

What if after Trump wins DECISIVELY tomorrow and in order to really screw things up, Joe resigns and Kamala is made the president....

Then she would have to choose a VP who would certify the election.... But that VP would have to be approved by congress....which could take a while

Does anyone think that maybe their cheating efforts are, at this point, more just to keep Trump from getting a Reagan landslide?

I mean, they have to know she was unelectable.... And then to pair her up with a perverted weirdo when, if they were really serious, there were definitely better choices....

I just can't see them getting enough stealthy cheats to overcome the advantage we have going into tomorrow.... I could be wrong but it just doesn't make sense otherwise...

I knew there would be cheating.... But the sudden surge in confidence of Harris' impending landslide is off the charts...

Think I'm going to have to log off my social media for a bit....

I have patiently waited since the steal in 2020 for this election...we won't win if their cheating mechanism hasn't been destroyed....

But "standing up" to them only gets us in "over the top" trouble

Getting the blue screen of death...

Seems to be worldwide cyber attack with Crowdstrike involved.

Does anyone have any info?
