It’s hard not to feel like the people of Missouri are better off when the legislators aren’t in session!

We’ve seen so many things pushed through this session, all in the name of “the people”. And yet, we’re still waiting for the “fix” to Amendment 3 and IP Reform; the two things we’ve been promised since the beginning of session were a “top priority”.

Are the legislators that out of touch with us common folk? Or are they that much smarter than us that they can see what we can’t? Or, are they so caught up in their position that the wrath of We the People is much less intimidating than the wrath of the Powers That Be?

Lisa from Shield Maidens of MO has taken a lot of slack for calling things out. But I for one am so incredibly grateful for the work that she does to fight on our behalf. Even though often times we don’t deserve it because we just rely on others to stand up for us, she continues to push forward because her calling came not from the people but from THE King! And when THE King calls, you better come running!

Lisa discusses how people can get involved the last two weeks of session and what to be on the lookout for (bills that are in conference). Click here to see it on the House website and here to see it on the Senate website (you’ll scroll almost to the bottom). You will be looking at the Bill Calendars. This is a great page to bookmark so you can reference it often to see what bills are coming through in the future.

Please consider gathering some other individuals in your county to rotate being up at the Capitol whenever the legislators are in session the last two weeks of session. That would be 5/5-5/16. You can find the House and Senate session schedules on their websites.

Tom and I discussed a troubling mental health bill. You can reference that here.

You can also reference the sections of the MO Constitution that he discussed re 2A rights and the single subject rule in the pictures below. Or, if you want to look up the actual constitution you can find that here. Amendment 1 Sec. 23 (2nd amendment); Amendment 3 Sec. 21&23 (single subject bills).

Also what I find troubling is the ballot language from 2014 when Missourians voted to approve giving the GA the authority to infringe on our 2A rights if having a mental disorder. As you can see, there was NO mention of this on the actual ballot question.

It was included in the Fair Ballot Language which is often off to the side at your polling place but it seems to me like that should have been on the actual ballot since it’s literally taking away rights that you’re supposedly voting to keep!

Again, this is why it is SO important to KNOW what you’re voting on BEFORE you go vote! There’s no reason in our time of information on demand to not be educated on these things. I don’t care who’s “in charge”, t is our responsibility to protect what God has given us for generations to come!

And as always, remember to pray!

Make sure to join me next week as I talk with a special guest to discuss the REAL ID program.

MO Constitution discussion begins 15:00

Tom Martz has spent the past several years learning about the Missouri constitution and trying to educate citizens and legislators on what it means to legislate constitutionally.

Unfortunately, many legislators don’t seem to care to uphold the constitution as much as much as they care about pushing through whatever agenda the lobbyists want that session.

All legislators take an oath to uphold the constitution…if only they were actually required to read it!

We desperately need men and women who are grounded in the constitution to run for office to represent we the people correctly. To understand their main responsibility is to protect our rights not continuously try to “keep us safe” at the expense of liberty and the expanse of their pocket books and egos.

If you’re interested in learning more about the MO Constitution, I highly recommend getting in touch with Tom.

Just a few days until the municipal elections! Tuesday, April 8th.

While these elections are technical nonpartisan, it’s still very important to know who you’re electing to govern over you. Our country only works when there are checks and balances keeping the government from usurping your rights!

Even and especially on the city level, those you elect need to be held accountable. It is up to us to know who is running, find out who they are, and what they stand for. Morals and character are not partisan issues!

I would encourage you to look up your sample ballot on your county’s website so you are better prepared to vote on Tuesday and GO VOTE!

If you would like to contact Dan you can reach him via his fb page.

Sample ballot for Camden County here.

Sample ballot for Miller County here. If you missed my interview with Tammy Stone (running for Miller County Health Board) you can find that here. Please make sure to vote for Tammy Stone on Tuesday! I do not recommend any of the other candidates at this time.

Do you know how homeschooling originated? The answer might surprise you!

I’m grateful for women like Tiffany who have sacrificed so much to educate people on the truth of what we’re really facing as parents. Parents who are actively involved in and taking control of their child’s education.

Unlike many of our “republican” legislators, Tiffany understands what small government means and what that should look like when it comes to education and a parent’s rights-given by God!

Sounding the alarm has not made her popular, and it won’t win you any popularity contests either. But if you’re like me and you value the freedom we have in this country. You believe as the Founding Fathers did that our rights come from God and it is the governments job simply to protect those rights, you NEED to start sounding the alarm also!

We’re all busy.

We’re all trying to balance multiple responsibilities.

But God has given you a country with the freedom to educate your children how you believe is best…that doesn’t mean, however, that it can’t be taken away if we choose to be lazy stewards of it.

I hope you are encouraged and emboldened by Tiffany and her passion and will start doing something! I know you care about your kids and grandkids…time to get unpopular so they experience the blessings of our sacrifice rather than the punishment of our apathy.

Often times, people either don’t know about municipal elections, they forget about them or, they think it’s not important. Not only are they important, they should have a much greater involvement than any other election since municipal elections are the people who are directly above us. Mayors, Councilmen/Alderman, School Board, Health Board, etc… and often this is when different tax issues will also be on the ballot.

For too long these positions have just been swooped up by the willing and eager left. Yes, even in our “red” state of Missouri, and even in our conservative section of Missouri, there are people with destructive agendas seeking to destroy what the majority of Missourians would like tot preserve.

But in order to preserve this we MUST engage! We must answer the call to serve our community by stepping into governmental roles. Our cities, counties, states and country desperately need honorable men and women who understand the proper role of government and are committed to preserving our God-given rights that can not be given or taken away by the government!

Thankfully, more and more people are stepping up! And I’m proud to support Tammy Stone for the very important role of: Health Department Board. Please consider supporting Tammy through prayer, following her on Facebook, sharing her posts, and spreading the word around Miller County that she needs our vote! And don’t forget to go vote for her on Tuesday, April 8th! Click here to see the complete Miller County ballot.

If you have any questions for Tammy you can contact her via her Facebook page, or you can email me at [email protected].

The human body is truly an amazing miracle! I’m always so in awe of our Maker when I learn different ways that the body works. The way He so intricately wove things together to work exactly the way it needs to. Genesis repeatedly says, “…God saw what He had made and it was good!”

So why is it that we have so many diseases, viruses, disorders, etc…

Well, because of us. Ultimately, human beings are responsible for God’s perfect design becoming flawed. Way back at the very beginning, Adam and Eve made a decision that impacted all of us. But before we start pointing fingers, I would challenge you to look at what you’re doing now that is in contradiction to God’s perfect design for our bodies.

Especially as Christians, I believe we often laugh off one of the biggest contradictions to being a good steward of what God has given us.

Gluttony.

I do not think it possible to be a good steward of your body and gluttonous at the same time. This does not say to me that you are grateful for the amazing miracle your body is, nor does it say you appreciate what God has given you to care for.

When was the last time you heard a sermon on gluttony? I would venture to guess, not only have you never heard one, you’ve probably heard it spoken about in more of a condoning tone.

A pastor that tells a story of going on a cruise and constantly over-eating is laughed off by the congregation. So I ask, is it also acceptable for the pastor to tell a story of how drunk he got on the cruise? Or how often he looked at a woman lustfully? What about how many times he’s lied or been envious? Could we all have a good laugh about these sermons as well?

Again, I just keep coming back to the Church. Like many areas in life, I believe we’ve set a very poor standard of what it means to be a good steward, in this case, of our bodies and unfortunately the next generation is suffering greatly because of it!

So maybe the next time you go to that church potluck (which I absolutely support the act of breaking bread together!), only fill your plate up once and make sure your kids eat some actual food before diving into the desserts! And maybe, just maybe, instead of the government leading the way to “Make America Healthy Again” it could be we, The Church. Because, after all, it is our bodies that are a temple for the dwelling of the Most High!

NAMES OF FOOD COLORS

Common Artificial Food Dyes:

Tartrazine Other Names: Yellow 5, E102

Sunset Yellow FCF Other Names: Yellow 6, E110

Carmoisine Other Names: E122, Acid Red 18

Allura Red AC Other Names: Red 40, E129

Brilliant Blue FCF Other Names: Blue 1, E133

Indigotine Other Names: Indigo Carmine, Blue 2, E132

Erythrosine Other Names: Red 3, E127

Quinoline Yellow Other Names: E104

Fast Green FCF Other Names: Green 3, E143

Curcumin Other Names: E100

Caramel Color Other Names: E150a, E150b, E150c, E150d (various types)

Beta-Carotene Other Names: E160a

Annatto Other Names: E160b (and its various forms)

Blue No. 1- Blue 1 is found in thousands of food products, including beverages, candy, and baked goods. One (unpublished) animal test suggested a small cancer risk, and a test-tube study indicated the dye might affect neurons. It also causes occasional allergic reactions. Blue 1 might be safe for people who are not allergic, but it should be better tested.

Blue No. 2 Blue 2 is used in beverages, candy, and even some pet foods. Animal studies found some—but not conclusive—evidence that Blue 2 causes brain cancer in male rats.

Green No. 3 Green 3, like most other synthetic food dyes, is mostly found in candy and beverages. A 1981 industry-sponsored study suggested Green 3 played a role in forming bladder and testes tumors in male rats. Fortunately, this possibly carcinogenic dye is not widely used.

Red No. 40 36,000 American foods contain

Red 40 is the most widely used food dye, and it can be found in a wide range of food products, including candy, gelatin desserts, pastries, sausage, and even some pet foods. While this is one of the most-tested food dyes, the key mouse tests were flawed and inconclusive. An FDA review committee acknowledged problems but said evidence of harm was not “consistent” or “substantial.” Red 40 can cause allergy-like reactions. Like other dyes, Red 40 is used mainly in junk foods.

Red No. 3 Cancer in Animals 8,000 foods sold in US

Red 3 is used in thousands of candies, baked goods, beverages, and nearly all maraschino cherries. The FDA has recognized Red 3 as cancer-causing (a carcinogen). The evidence that this dye caused thyroid tumors in rats is “convincing,” according to a 1983 review committee report requested by the FDA. Despite this recognition, Red 3 was banned from use only in cosmetics and topical drugs—not for food use. Federal law prohibits the use of color additives that cause cancer in humans or animals, meaning the FDA is obligated to ban Red 3. Yet more than 30 years have elapsed, and, bafflingly, Red 3 remains FDA-approved.

Yellow No. 5 Yellow 5 can be found in many foods, including beverages, gelatin desserts,candy, and baked goods. It’s the second-most widely used coloring and sometimes causes allergy-like hypersensitivity reactions, primarily in aspirin-sensitive persons, and triggers hyperactivity in some children. It may be contaminated with such cancer-causing substances as benzidine and 4-aminobiphenyl (or chemicals that the body converts to those substances).

Yellow No. 6 Yellow 6 is used in beverages, candy, and baked goods. This dye may cause occasional, but sometimes severe, hypersensitivity reactions. In addition, industry-sponsored animal tests indicated that Yellow 6, the third-most widely used, causes tumors of the adrenal gland and kidney. In addition, small amounts of several carcinogens, such as 4-aminobiphenyl and benzidine (or chemicals that the body converts to those substances), may contaminate Yellow 6.

Dr. Christi specializes in childhood neurological development. The data she shares is absolutely horrid! We are literally poisoning our kids and setting them up for a lifetime of disease riddled bodies.

Yes, it takes more work, energy, and patience to raise healthy (mentally, emotionally, and physically) children but isn’t that kind of our job as parents? We have such a short time to raise our kids, will you look back with joy and confidence…or regret and sadness?

Don’t let these years pass you by. God chose you to raise the next generation. Let’s make sure we’re being good stewards with that great responsibility!

Don’t miss Part 2 of my interview with Dr. Christi titled: “Can childhood diseases be beneficial?”

A few months ago I came across a very disturbing story about an event not only happening at a college campus but being organized and promoted by the state funded institution!

Drag Me To Hell Drag Show

I grew up in a very solid Christian home but more than that, I’ve always had a very sensitive spirit to evil and the spiritual world. The few times I stupidly watched horror movies left me scarred even still today with scenes that make my stomach curl and my arm hairs raise. Thankfully, the Holy Spirit has helped cleanse those visions from my mind but on occasion, they still flash by and it’s just as frightening now in my late 30’s as it was in my early 20’s.

Therefore, because of this sensitivity, I am extremely careful with what I look at.

Unfortunately, it seems the demonic world is not only not hiding anymore, it’s being paraded around as “art” and thrust into the faces and minds of the next generation. College kids are bombarded with terms like “inclusivity” and “equity” and told not to be divisive or hateful if they disagree with a lifestyle that clearly contradicts God’s design.

I guess one could argue, no one’s forcing these kids to go to college (well, probably some parents are!) so if they don’t like it…just leave! I would actually whole-heartedly agree with this! I don’t think Christian parents should be sending their kids to the overwhelming majority of secular (and so called Christian) colleges…but I digress!

Yes, these kids don’t HAVE to go but do I have the same option with my tax dollars? Can I also opt out of events that my money funds that completely contradicts my firmly held beliefs? Are colleges using government funds to operate these drag shows? The short answer: yes. Can I opt out? No.

So what are we to do? Well, I think it’s past time for Christians to stop participating in demonic entertainment. And before you start to think, “we would never do that!” Do your kids collect Pokemon cards? Do you watch horror movies based on the supernatural world? Does your little girl dream of marrying a shiny vampire?

I’m no saint! I’ve fallen into my share of fandom with ridiculous teen dramas but as I’ve gotten older and my spirit continues to grow more aware and sensitive to the battle of good and evil all around us, I just can’t have anything to do with it, nor do I welcome it into our home.

“Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.” Ephesians 5:11

After all the political defeats from last year, the year I was just getting involved with local politics, it’s been extremely difficult for me to feel any kind of hope that things will change here in Missouri. I’ve felt a bit aimless and very defeated. I’ve spent much time in prayer, seeking the Holy Spirit’s guidance on what it is I’m supposed to be doing.

I had felt so passionate and determined that I really could help make change!

But after Amendment 3 passed (the constitutional “right” to abortion all 9 months of pregnancy, among other atrocities) my spirit was so crushed and I’ve struggled greatly to regain the hope and passion I once had.

And then last night, for the first time in several weeks, I felt a greater hope than I have in a while! A hope that can only come from the mercy of a Holy Father who cares deeply for His children!

I finally feel direction again and hope that change can still happen. Strategies need to change. Friends we once knew might no longer be trustworthy allies. But I believe the Lord is doing a mighty thing in our day and I am so grateful for the renewed hope and direction he has given me!

You might think that I should be more focused on “the church”. But here’s the thing…the Church was never meant to be confined to a building, the Church should be everywhere! We, THE CHURCH, should be taking Jesus into EVERY nook and cranny of our lives. We should not be “lighting a lamp and putting it under a basket” we should be “putting our light on a stand so it gives light to all in the house”. Honestly, it seems to me like the 4 walls of church have become “a basket”. And I think God is calling many people out into this new thing He is doing.

My hope is in my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. And while He chooses to keep me here it’s my responsibility to serve Him by going out into places that desperately need Truth and speaking that out loud.

I don’t know about you but I can’t think of a better place to start than government.
