“Do not be afraid, just believe”. Mark 5:36

Good morning X. 4/14/26 Have a blessed Tuesday 🙏✝️ Daily devotion The Way Back to God We’ve all done things that weigh us down and make us wonder, “Why do I seem to do what I know is wrong?” In Scripture, sin is described as actions that miss the target that God's asked us to aim for: living a life centered around loving God and others. While there are universal actions that dishonor God, small acts of disobedience also pull us away from Him. The apostle James wrote that “it is a sin to know what the right thing to do is, and then not do it” (James 4:17). In other words, if you know what God is asking you to do, yet you still decide to disobey Him—then you’re undermining God’s authority in your life. Sin entices us because it is self-gratifying, but it results in eternal separation from God and others. For a long time, there was no way for most people to draw near to God because God cannot be a part of anything that undermines His perfect character.  But while we were controlled by sin, Jesus came and died for us. And because of Jesus’ death and resurrection, we can now experience a life that isn’t ruled by our mistakes.  Jesus’ voluntary sacrifice can lead to our reconciliation with God. None of this is because we deserve it, but because God has always desired it. While we might continue to struggle between doing right and wrong, we don’t have to face this struggle alone. And the great news is: God wants to help because He knows we can’t overcome sin alone.   So right now, take note of some of the things you are currently struggling with. Where do you need to give God control? Picture handing those things over to Jesus, and allow Him to give you His grace, forgiveness, and peace.

“All flesh is as grass, And all the glory of man as the flower of the grass. The grass withers, And its flower falls away, But the word of the Lord endures forever.” Now this is the word which by the gospel was preached to you. ~1 Peter 1:24-25🌿

When we first moved to Virginia 10 years ago, a lot of people warned me about how we'd be treated if we lived 'south of the river.' At the time, I didn't get it (and you know me, I didn't really care), but with this redistricting bit, I'm finally seeing it. There is absolutely a divide in Virginia. There is the heart and soul of the state, the people who have lived here for generations. And then there are the people who moved here after ruining their own states with their blue policies. And now, those same people are trying to destroy what's left of the Commonwealth, while insisting rural Virginia is out of luck. 'LAND DOESN'T VOTE,' they declare. They're fine with handing the Commonwealth over to politicians in D.C. like Hakeem Jeffries, because Virginia is not their home. They have no loyalty to this amazing state, where our country began. And it shows. So, it's up to us rednecks in rural Virginia to save her. I believe we can do it... I just need you to believe we can. Show up. Please. Vote NO.

Fact Check: Joel 2:25 actually says: "Then I will make up to you for the years That the swarming locust has eaten, The creeping locust, the stripping locust and the gnawing locust, My great army which I sent among you.
