I sent this Words for the Day post out on July 24th in the year 2000. It seems that I needed to hear it again. Hopefully it will resonate with you today as well . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2020/07/simple-but-inspiring-words-3/

I had a guy come out and service my air conditioning units yesterday. And when I was paying his invoice, he began a rant about the state of the country. He said he is thru with watching the news. He said that he got so angry the last time he watched the news he almost threw his cell phone at his television set. Seeing anarchists running around destroying anything they can get their hands on while liberal mayors and the media defend them has him incensed . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2020/07/controlled-burn-is-no-cause-for-worry/

Yesterday I was going bonkers from boredom. I’m sure I feel like many of you. It seems as though we are perpetually stuck in Groundhog Day. Each new day repeats itself with torturous repetition . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2020/07/is-going-bonkers-helpful/

Saturday my daughter-in-law got a call from one of my former employees. She wanted my wife’s number and acted really upset. She was calling on behalf of my good friend and Pastor of the church our family attended for many years when I lived in Atlanta. She said she was now working as his administrative assistant and was very sorry about the “circumstances” concerning me and said she needed my wife’s phone number because he wanted to talk with her. My son, daughter-in-law, and twin granddaughters had all been to their mountain home retreat in North Carolina . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2020/07/the-rumors-of-my-death/

I’ve heard many of my friends expressing worry that Donald Trump might not get reelected and that if Biden wins radical leftwing socialists will destroy our country in short order, beginning the day after the election. Abortion, freedom of religion, military defense, police being defunded and disbanded, increased taxes and recession, open borders, shutting down the energy sector are issues that are causing many “thinking people” to get ulcers . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2020/07/what-goliath-do-you-face/

I was standing in a prison yard giving my testimony and I asked my “captive” audience if they could have “anything” they wanted what would it be. To a person all of them immediately chose wealth . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2020/07/no-jesus-no-peace/

I was talking with a friend the other day and she did not seem perturbed at all by the Covid 19 plague, violence, mayhem, racism, hate, looting, arson, economic chaos, polarization, abortion, pornography, sex trafficking, murder, rape, and other evils currently ravaging our country and the rest of the world. She cheerfully and optimistically told me not to worry because we are merely getting that much closer to the End Times and she emphasized of course that the rapture of Christ followers would occur prior to it and we would be spared those dreadful events . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2020/07/knocking-on-heavens-door/

Have you ever been unhappy with You? I have! I was mulling over some thoughts yesterday concerning improvements that I needed to make in me. The list was long and discouraging because most of my faults I have fought against most of my life with little success and they are are still hanging around . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2020/07/have-you-ever-been-unhappy-with-you/

As protesters around the country are demanding that communities “defund the police” even as shootings of children pile up in New York, Chicago, Atlanta and other liberal cities run by Democrats, Joe Biden declared he would “absolutely” be on board with redirecting police budgets to fund other Democrat priorities . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2020/07/is-the-son-of-destruction-already-among-us/

Norman Vincent Peale once said, "Drop the idea that you are Atlas carrying the world on your shoulders. The world would go on even without you. Don’t take yourself so seriously." . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2020/07/drop-the-idea-that-youre-atlas/
