Multiplied Blessings

 Praise God from Whom all blessings flow: 

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places,  even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will,  to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved.  In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,  which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth. 

In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will,  so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory.  In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,  who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.

(Ephesians 1:3-14  ESV) *

Don't be Distracted

The recent disclosure (leak) of a deliberative, preliminary opinion from Justice Alito of the U.S. Supreme Court regarding a Mississippi abortion law has sparked controversy and protests.  The persons responsible violated the law, the sanctity of the court, and the dignity of the American people.  I will be surprised, however, if they are caught and punished. 

We may never know whether persons outside the court were involved.  Nevertheless, anyone with an understanding of the dirty politics of the Left can see how the Biden Administration and the Democrats in the U.S. House and Senate benefit from it. 

The impact the current decision might have on Roe vs. Wade is clear.  The Supreme Court may return the regulation of abortion to the states.  Since the “right to choose” is a sacred cow in the secular-humanist doctrine of the Left, the thought of giving the people in the various states the right to regulate it drives them bonkers.  They know that most Americans oppose the way abortion is being regulated under Roe vs. Wade. 

Let me point out, respectfully, that the 10^th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution clearly states, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”  Therefore, the high court may well decide that the regulation of abortion is within the jurisdiction of the states.  I would like to remind, however, that a decision has not yet been rendered. 

The uproar caused by the leak is a perfect distraction, to deflect the voters' attention away from the record of abject failure the Radical-Liberal wing of the Democratic Party has accumulated, since January 20, 2021.  It may be a tactic designed to derail the much-anticipated defeat of the Democrats in November’s midterm election. 

Consequently, it is difficult for me to believe that the justice's deliberative information was leaked for any other purpose.  I am asking you, the American voters, not to let yourselves be distracted.  The reckless spending, weak foreign policy, decimation of our military strength, corruption, crime, economic devastation, and chiaos at the border with Mexico resulting from the insane policies of the Democrats are ruining the country.  We must remain focused and vote them out of office in 2022 and 2024.
