@BethMooreLPM Thank you so much for that. It’s means a lot to me. You are the best! I continue to look forward to your work. ❤️

I’m writing again. And so happy to be! 2 projects, one shorter non-fiction work and the other a novel. The fiction work will take longer because I have to do it on the side.
I share this with you in order to give you my word about something. Now only the Lord knows if these works will come to fruition and get published. But I want to make you a promise you are welcome to hold me to.
Even if the end result is mediocre and the work would have been better if I did, I will never use AI to do any writing I put my name on nor have I ever used or will I use a ghost writer. I want to say that plainly especially as I get older. I respect my readers and Bible study participants. These aren’t groupies and book buyers don’t just represent numbers to me. I have a lot of flaws but God has treated me so mercifully that I want to serve people well.
Please don’t hear this in an arrogant tone because nothing is further from my mind. I’m not one bit better than those who have done or will do any of these things. And goodness knows I’ve committed more grievous sins in my lifetime.
But this writing part of my life has been such unmerited grace that I’ve tried to treat it with care. Anyway, I wanted to get that off my chest. If I put it out there, it’s mine. Even if you give it a D. :)

@CollinRugg It’s also south X southwest. One of the biggest cities vents in Austin makes a huge difference

NEW: Line to get into the Austin airport goes out the door and down the street due to staffing issues because of the Democrat DHS shutdown.
35,000 passengers are expected to travel at the Austin airport on Friday.
“The staffing levels that are affected are going to be those organizations that fall under the Department of Homeland Security here at this airport. That’s going to be TSA and Customs and Border Protection,” said AUS Airport Deputy Chief Sam Haines.
Insane.

@BethMooreLPM Oh Beth this is so good. You are faithful, knowledgeable, genuine and so brave. We all need more of those attributes. If only everyone would follow God instead of a political party or a denomination or any other group that we agree with just because “that’s what we believe”.

I share this post in earnest and (what may prove a naive) hope that a few people caught in the situation I’m about to describe will hear instead of rushing to the usual tropes, criticisms and caricatures. For what it’s worth, I offer this in good faith.
Between 2016 and 2022, I faced a test of the genuineness of my faith so large and consequential, I’m almost at a loss to think of the right adjectives to describe it. It might not have been so big to someone else but it involved so much of my Christian identity, it was all but existential. Well more than that. It was a dying.
It is this test that helps me understand why people who seem deeply devoted to the Lord Jesus and hold the scriptures in highest esteem also hold to a system, institution or leader no matter what they do and defend a side or individual to a degree that is baffling.
I can tell you why because I had to face every bit of it. Identity, community, camaraderie, what we’ve known and loved, what part of it we still love, the people we loved, the people we still love, reputation, what people will think, how you will be judged and condemned and thrown over to the other side who doesn’t want you either. And to whom you also do not align and would not belong. Friendships. How you will be misunderstood and misrepresented. How adrift and alone you will feel. How disliked.
And then there’s this and it would be a mistake to minimize it: your JOB. Your source of income. Your vocation.
This is the part of the crisis I most write these words to convey because I think they are most in play for many right now, whether in media, ministry or politics.
Let me try to put this in the words that were constantly resonant in my spirit in those years. And to this day.
Though you have no other place to go, Beth, and no place to fit and it not only MAY have financial repercussions but WILL have financial repercussions to the ministry and to your family and will also make them targets and none of it will ever look the same or be the same, will you choose what you believe to be right and put everything else in your vocational life at risk?
This is what is at risk for many people whose professional reputations and positions are tied up with leaders, institutions and political parties. Mine was, too. The cost is enormous and the options are often untenable. And so there we are.
Having to cast ourselves on the mercy of God. Not for a third way. But as THE ONLY WAY. The only truth. The only life.
I’ve made multiple errors in judgment. Jumped too quickly to condemn. Spoken wrongly. Remained silent wrongly and confusingly. I never get it completely together.
But what I will tell you is that I believe we are meant first and foremost to call out our own house, our own side, and our own identity group for its mind-boggling hypocrisy. These were my people. Evangelicals. Conservatives.
Claim what you will but I know who I am:
I am pro life from conception to casket.
I am pro small government.
I am pro godliness and the pursuit of a holy life.
I am pro marriage and family and pro-those God calls to remain single and sanctified and I’m deeply thankful for them.
I am pro traditional sexual ethics.
I am pro love of God and love of neighbor and the dignity of every person as an image bearer of Christ.
I am pro love all.
I am pro church. I believe in the community of the saints.
I am pro Bible study to the death and believe the aim of all discipleship is to know and love and follow and emulate Jesus Christ.
I am pro gospel. Dear God in heaven, I am pro gospel. I believe there is one name by whom we must be saved. Jesus.
What I am not is pro Trump.
Wasn’t pro Clinton. Wasn’t pro Biden. But those were not the candidates many in the world that I loved so much were cheering on.
I accept that Donald Trump is my president. I pray for him on a regular basis. I’m a law abiding citizen and pay my taxes. But I believe Trump fosters something in people that makes them lose their way.

@BethMooreLPM @MelissaMoore77 So beautiful! I love when I am in Wisconsin at my sisters house by the lake and deer walk through the yard. Such natural beauty!! ♥️
English

Gorgeous morning. Slept in a bit and had coffee and prayer on the front porch. @MelissaMoore77’s Shadowfax has been out in the woods with us for a few days. She was on the porch with me when 6 deer crossed the yard in front of us. She stayed still as could be and just watched.

@BethMooreLPM I have been waiting for a new study from you!! Can’t wait!! 😍
English

Want to tell you loves something. I know some of you were and are waiting for my thoughts on recent events and I have a lot of them which is one reason why I haven’t shared them publicly. I’ve had plenty of conversations in private. In my family group, diverse opinions and complex thoughts are not anathema.
Thing is, y’all, so few people read anymore. They read into. They hunt down gotcha phrases to fit their narratives of you.
And, let’s be frank, nuance is considerably above X’s IQ.
My thoughts about the current event are complicated and not well suited here. I will say this much and leave it here. I believe in justice for all. I do mean all. Even people who make the hair stand up on the back of my neck. If that’s what’s underway here, good. I’m for it. Then make it apply across the board. If it’s not justice, then all they’re doing is making a megalomaniac a bigger cult hero.
What I think is that Washington is a mess. An embarrassing mess. A TROUBLING mess. Your basic person spending 30 days in county has more scruples than many of our nation’s leaders. My faith is in Christ alone.
Last thing. It’s occurred to me recently that I’m dealing with residual effects of a very intense eight years of embodied stress that has played havoc on me physically. My gracious God has me in a recovering mode with him. I’m protecting some of my peace so I can get well. And it’s working. He’s working. Oh mercy, I love him so. He has been so merciful to me.
And I love y’all. This is written specifically to my friends on here because all I’m going to get from my opponents is “BUT …!”
And right now I’m just wanting to deal with a few less buts.

@BethMooreLPM Praying for you Beth. For pain relief and wisdom and for your doctors to have the wisdom and skills to help you receive relief from this pain. Thank you for all you do. lord knows you have touched my life greatly!!
English

This is a long one!!! Pass on by unless you have the margin! Might I ask for prayer? I have dealt with chronic pain ranging from a constant ache to near agony for a number of years. Primarily spine issues. My back is a mess. Definitely facing surgery. Just a matter of when. When I sprained my knee running through O’Hare to a flight I was about to miss, it threw my back further out of alignment. My options are very limited. And yes, I’ve seen (and have) numerous doctors. Had MRIs even recently. I’ve dealt with physical pain for a long time as part of what God has allowed me in order to rely on him. Definitely one of my thorns in the flesh.
I have a high threshold for pain. But last night for the first time in many years I cried to Keith about it.
Anyway, I’m calling the doctor today and will ultimately end up with a surgeon I’m sure. The question will be where they begin and when. I have multiple skeletal issues.
One huge challenge for years has been that any medicine that would really work for the level of pain I’m in, for instance, right now, would dull my mind.
I need my mind. And I don’t like to feel drugged.
OK. Enough. My spirit is well. My insides are happy and cheerful in Christ Jesus. I say that sincerely. I’m not in an oppressed state of mind. I certainly know what that’s like but I’m not there right now. I love where he has me and what I’m working on presently and sense the leadership of the Holy Spirit in it. I can still laugh and enjoy my people and my dogs.
All is well except that I’m in a good bit of pain. But only from my neck to my heels. Lol
Thank you for listening, my friends! This is not a huge priority! I’m not in despair! I just need wisdom. And I want to do my job!!! if I may say this gently and respectfully, I need prayer more than advice. These are not new problems and I’ve seen lots of doctors and heard it all and implemented much good counsel.
I anticipate some saying maybe God is laying me down for a while. I don’t think that’s it. I mean, maybe today, yes. But not indefinitely. This is not something you rest and get over. My years-long condition requires movement. Plus, if I had laid down over this, I’d have laid down for the last decade.
You guys are so wonderful and I’m deeply grateful for your camaraderie. Pray for two primary things: relief and wisdom in the right next steps!
PS. If you are attending an upcoming event, those are not in jeopardy. The Lord and I have been managing this condition around events for a long time and I can’t wait to be with you and worship God with you and study scripture.
