Over 250 Faith Leaders across the nation are asking us to set aside next Sunday, June 2, as a special day of prayer for our President: “We the undersigned are calling for June 2 to be a special Day of Prayer for the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, that God would protect, strengthen, embolden, and direct him.…
Memorial Day is just around the corner. We Americans will make our annual pilgrimage to cemeteries, grave sites, and monuments, carrying brightly colored flowers, waving flags, and wearing red poppies. The roots of Memorial Day are in the Civil War. In 1864, women from Boalsburg, Pennsylvania, put flowers on the graves of their dead from the just-fought bloody Battle of…
This blessing is intended to enable you to make contact with your Heavenly Father who said that if our fathers or mothers forsake us, He would take us up and be a father and mother to us, and heal our broken hearts. Remember how St. Paul wrote to Timothy: “my true child in the faith” (1 Timothy 1:2). As ambassadors…
Some years ago I realized I was holding unforgiveness against my mother. Her sin? Failing to call me by my name and see me as an individual, separate from her. Most of the time she’d call me by my younger sister’s name. This bothered me, even though I also do it to my children. A few hours before she died,…
Most of us still believe there is a God, a Higher Power—in spite of the secularization of our society. According to Pew Research more than three-fourths (77%) of Americans identify with some organized religion. But the question is: Why do we believe in God? And what do we want from Him?

In the wake of the burning of Notre Dame Cathedral, cultural commenters are searching for the meaning of this destructive blaze. Conservative talk show host, Dennis Prager, sees it as a spiritual omen: “The symbolism of the burning of Notre Dame Cathedral, the iconic symbol of Western Christendom, is hard to miss. It is as if God Himself wanted to…
Do you know that more of us go to church during Easter than any other time of the year? At Christmas we go because of our families, but at Easter we go for ourselves. Why? Because we need to be touched by the meaning of Easter: that life comes out of death, meaning and purpose out of chaos, and light…
When our 3rd grader was afraid to give his book report in school, I did what the Bible said: I took him to Jesus. As I prayed, my son stopped me and said, “Mom, Jesus is here, and he’s pulling all this gray stuff out of my heart.” The fear was totally gone! God’s power works through faith My topic…
One tactic of the Radical Left is to silence good people by defaming their character and reputation—like they did to Judge Kavanaugh and the MAGA hat teen, Nicholas Sandmann. We Americans are facing one of the greatest crises of our entire history—the overthrow of our democracy for an authoritarian society that does not tolerate other ideas, dissenting views, or criticism.…
One way God speaks to me is through dreams. Last year I dreamed that someone was placing peace on or in my left chest. I said, “Oh good, now I can go to it and feel it whenever I need it.” Last week I dreamed someone was saying to me: “Give it time.” After some reflection, I knew the areas…
