It is interesting to me how hard it is to bring these Republicans to justice.  From Donald Trump, to Clarence Thomas to George Santos (if that's his real name).

All the while, police are being judge and jury by executing people in the streets and not even giving them the opportunity to get to trial!

Our legal system has never been that great, but now it's straight trash.  And, this is what happens when

God is Not a Man... Numbers 23:19

 "God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said and shall he not do it? Or, hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?"

It's been a while since I've written any inspirational notes or encouragements here.  I think about them a lot-- internally, but just haven't put anything down.

Today, I have something for you to think about from Numbers 23:19.  "God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said and shall he not do it? Or, hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?"  …Awesome-- in so many ways.  But the long and short of it all, I believe, is that God (YHWH) is saying, I'm different.

The preceding scriptures were a couple of parables that described how faith operates.  Basically, the requirement to make “faith” work is “belief”.   As I re-read the scriptures a few times, I was fascinated how easy it was for some people to believe just because they do.

One of the parables was about a centurion who asked Jesus to heal his servant who was some distance away.  Jesus said okay, and had offered to go to the soldier’s house to heal his servant.

Creating Something From Nothing... of Sort

Many people find themselves unemployed because of economic problems. My encouraging word today is: Don’t be totally discouraged by what you have lost. You still have your talents, skills and abilities. You have not lost them. I encourage you to use the “Entrepreneur” approach. Create something from nothing.

For instance. If you worked in the banking industry, you may have the skill to assist others in qualifying for loans or help them understand the basic workings of the stock market.  Or perhaps you were a
