Radicalized Islam calls Christians and Jews “the people of the book,” the Bible. This Christian supports and loves my brothers and sisters in Abraham, the Jew. According to the Holy Scripture, Christians have been ‘grafted’ into the vine. Christians and Jews are family. Bible prophecy warns us of unbelievably severe persecution on our horizon. No strangers to programs and slaughter, Hamas’ October 7 attack on Israel is only the beginning of the most recent satanic attack on the Jews. But this attack is not confined to the Middle East. It is here within our borders. What is going on? What is this world coming to, I hear people ask. No one seems to have answers. But I believe the Bible has the answer. All of the answers. What is going on is not natural. Rather it is supernatural. It is Satan’s supernatural hatred for God and God’s people: Jews and Christians. An answer to the dilemma: draw near to Jesus Christ and He will draw near to you. I like to tell people, “The safest place to be in hard times is to reside in the perfect will of God.” Look up.

Attitude concerns I’m not sure what position or action California Governor Gavin Newsom has taken regarding China and President Xi Jinping, and after reading Mr. Le Blanc’s letter of November 29, I still don’t.

Many thanks On November 2, I was dining at the Reata with a dear friend when a piece of the chicken fried steak I had ordered got stuck in my throat. It quickly became apparent that a Heimlich procedure was in order and the Reata staff quickly reacted.
