๐บ๐ธ๐ PRAY FOR THIS MAN. PRAY FOR PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP.
There are burdens the world sees and battles fought in silence. There are decisions made behind closed doors, sleepless nights, unimaginable pressures, and responsibilities that few will ever fully understand.
The weight of leadership is heavy. The weight of a nation is heavier still.
Today, I ask you to set aside the noise, the headlines, and the endless political battles for a moment and simply PRAY.
๐ Heavenly Father,
We lift President Donald J. Trump before You today.
Lord, when the burdens become overwhelming, give him strength beyond his own. When the path is uncertain, grant him wisdom and discernment. When enemies surround him, be his shield. When exhaustion comes, renew his spirit.
Protect his life, his family, and those entrusted with the responsibility of serving our nation.
Surround him with wise counselors, faithful friends, and people of integrity who will speak truth even when it is difficult.
Give him courage without fear, strength without pride, conviction without bitterness, and a heart that remains steadfast in the face of adversity.
And Father, remind him that he does not carry these burdens alone.
Your Word tells us:
โGod is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.โ โ Psalm 46:1
May Your hand rest upon our President, our military, our leaders, and every American family.
May America remain a nation that seeks Your wisdom, honors Your blessings, and never forgets the power of prayer.
We may not be able to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders, but we can help lift him up in prayer.
God bless President Trump.
God bless our beloved United States of America. ๐บ๐ธ
AMEN. ๐โค๏ธ

"It is believed to be the only Da Vinci in the world in private hands."
Good Sunday morning, welcome to November 15th...
On this day in 2017, a painting by Leonardo da Vinci entitled "Salvator Mundi" was sold at auction for the world-record price of $450.3 million.
The painting, Da Vinci's interpretation of Jesus Christ, and whose title is Latin for "Savior of the World", was bought by the Saudi Arabian royal family.
It is believed to be the only Da Vinci in the world in private hands.

November 15, 1777 โ The Continental Congress Adopts the Articles of Confederation
249 years ago today, America's founders took a monumental step toward building a government for their newly independent states.
On November 15, 1777, the Second Continental Congress adopted the Articles of Confederation in York, Pennsylvania, after more than a year of debate.
The Articles established a framework for a union of thirteen states under a common national government. They represented the first written constitution of the United States, although they did not take effect until all thirteen states ratified them on March 1, 1781.
The document helped guide America through the final years of the Revolutionary War and laid important groundwork for the Constitution of 1787.
The historical story
In 1776, the Continental Congress declared independence from Great Britain. But declaring independence and building a functioning national government were two very different challenges.
The thirteen states had different economies, interests, populations, and concerns about political power.
Having fought against British imperial authority, many Americans were reluctant to create another powerful central government.
A committee chaired by John Dickinson prepared an early draft of the Articles in 1776. Congress debated and revised the document before approving its final text on November 15, 1777.
The Articles created a national Congress in which each state possessed one vote. They preserved substantial powers for the states while assigning the Confederation Congress responsibilities involving diplomacy, war, and other shared national concerns.
But the arrangement contained serious weaknesses.
Congress could request money from the states but could not directly levy national taxes. It lacked broad authority to regulate interstate and foreign commerce.
Major decisions required approval from nine states, while amendments required unanimous agreement.
These limitations became increasingly apparent after the Revolutionary War.
In 1787, delegates met in Philadelphia and drafted a new Constitution designed to create a more effective federal government while preserving a division of powers.
Historical clarification: The Articles were adopted on November 15, 1777, but were not fully ratified until March 1, 1781. The current U.S. Constitution was drafted in 1787 and became operative in 1789.
Why November 15 matters
The Articles of Confederation remind us that America's constitutional system did not emerge fully formed.
The founding generation debated fundamental questions that remain important today:
How much authority should a national government possess? How should states retain their powers? How can a republic balance liberty, accountability, and effective government?
The Articles represented a sincere early effort to answer those questions. Their weaknesses later helped convince many leaders that a stronger constitutional framework was necessary.
The American experiment was built through debate, compromise, experience, and the willingness to improve imperfect institutions.

The Blessing of Family and Those We Love
Saturday, November 14, 2026
๐บ๐ธ Today, we give thanks for familyโand for the people whose love makes life richer, stronger, and more meaningful.
As Thanksgiving approaches, our thoughts turn to gathering around the table, sharing familiar stories, preparing treasured recipes, and remembering the moments that have shaped our lives.
But the greatest blessing of family is not found in the size of our homes, the beauty of our celebrations, or even the abundance of food upon our tables.
It is found in the people who make us feel that we belong.
Family is the parent who never stops believing in a child. The grandparent whose wisdom becomes a lifelong treasure. The spouse who stands beside us through seasons of joy and hardship. The sibling who remembers where we came from. The friend who becomes family through years of loyalty, kindness, and love.
And sometimes, family is someone we deeply miss.
Thanksgiving can bring both gratitude and longing. An empty chair may remind us of a precious life, a familiar voice, or a tradition we wish we could experience just once more. Yet even in their absence, those we have loved continue to shape us through the lessons they taught and the memories they left behind.
Across America, families come in many forms. Some are gathered beneath one roof; others are separated by miles, military service, work, or circumstances beyond their control. What unites them is not perfection, but the enduring desire to care for one another.
Todayโs Gratitude Challenge: Call someone you love. Thank a parent, grandparent, spouse, child, sibling, or cherished friend. Share a memory. Mend a misunderstanding. Tell someone how much they mean to you while you have the opportunity.
Because the most precious gifts in life are not wrapped in ribbons or placed beneath a tree. They are the people who walk beside us, believe in us, and give us a place to call home.
May our tables be filled with gratitude, our homes with kindness, and our hearts with love.

"The days may seem long, but the years go fast. We get one life, so live it well.โ
โCall your mother. Write a thank-you note by hand. Put on a jacket tonight, even if no one else does. Hold the door for the person behind you. Learn your waiter's name, and use it. Stand when a lady comes to the table. Finish the conversation before you finish the wine. Listen to the man you disagree with, and shake his hand anyway. Put the phone face down. Better yet, put it away. Tip generously. Keep your word, even if it costs you. Check on your friends and family. Leave every room a little better than you found it. The days may seem long, but the years go fast. We get one life, so live it well.โ

Have you heard of the "female Paul Revere?"
You may have heard of Sybil Ludington, the "female Paul Revere." In April 1777, the story goes, 16 year old Sybil rode around 40 miles through the dark on her horse to rouse her father's militia after British troops attacked Danbury, Connecticut. She's honored with a statue, a postage stamp, books, and songs.
The problem is, there's almost no evidence it ever happened.
Here's what we know is true. On April 26, 1777, a British raiding force burned Danbury, Connecticut, where the Continental Army had stored supplies. Militia from the area, including a New York regiment commanded by Col. Henry Ludington, turned out to fight the raiders as they withdrew. Henry Ludington was real, his regiment was real, and he had a daughter named Sybil.
What's missing is any record of the ride from the time. None of the letters, diaries, newspapers, or military records from 1777 mention it. Neither did Henry Ludington's own requests later in life for recognition of his service. And when Sybil herself applied for a widow's pension decades later, her application didn't mention any ride either.
The story first appeared in print in 1880, more than a century after the event, in a book about Henry Ludington written by his grandson, published privately by the family. The details of the route and the famous lines about Sybil banging on doors with a stick showed up later still.
In the 20th century the story took off. It was retold in children's books and magazine articles. In 1961 a statue went up in Carmel, New York. In 1975 the U.S. Postal Service put her on a stamp.
Some historians argue that the absence of evidence doesn't prove it didn't happen. Plenty of brave acts went unrecorded, especially by women and young people. That's fair. It's possible a teenage girl helped spread an alarm that night.
But the famous version, the 40 mile midnight ride that saved the day, rests on a family story written down by a descendant 100 years later.
The Revolution has plenty of documented heroines, like Margaret Corbin firing a cannon at Fort Washington and Deborah Sampson serving as a soldier. They don't need legends to be remarkable.

People talk about the war on terror as if it started on September 11. It didnโt. Americaโs first one started barely a decade after independence, and the Founders left us the receipts.
In March 1786, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson met Tripoliโs ambassador in London. Barbary corsairs were seizing American ships and enslaving their crews. His price for a permanent peace: 30,000 guineas for his rulers and ยฃ3,000 for himself, in cash.
So they asked him on what grounds his nation made war on countries that had done it no injury. They reported his answer to John Jay on March 28, 1786:

The slaving was real. Ohio State historian Robert C. Davis estimates that between 1530 and 1780, about 1 million and possibly 1.25 million European Christians were enslaved by the Barbary corsairs. Historians debate his method; nobody denies the trade.
Paying never bought peace. In 1801, Tripoliโs pasha demanded more and declared war. Jefferson, now president, ๐๐ง๐ฌ๐ฐ๐๐ซ๐๐ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐ฐ๐๐ซ๐ฌ๐ก๐ข๐ฉ๐ฌ, ๐ง๐จ๐ญ ๐ญ๐ซ๐ข๐๐ฎ๐ญ๐.
In 1804, Stephen Decatur slipped into Tripoliโs harbor and burned the captured frigate Philadelphia. In 1805, William Eaton led Marines and hired fighters across the desert to take Derna, the โshores of Tripoliโ in the Marinesโ Hymn. That yearโs treaty ended tribute to Tripoli; in 1815, Decatur forced Algiers to end it too.

Rev War Tales
Arnold On the Plains of Abraham
14 November 1775, outside Quebec. Colonel Benedict Arnoldโs ragged column, reduced to roughly six hundred men after the wilderness march, crossed the St. Lawrence by night and climbed the Plains of Abraham. From the open ground before the walls, he sent a flag demanding the cityโs surrender. Lieutenant Colonel Allan Maclean, commanding the Royal Highland Emigrants and local militia within the fortifications, refused. Arnoldโs force lacked artillery and had insufficient ammunition and supplies to press a siege. Learning that Maclean was preparing a sortie, Arnold withdrew on 19 November to Pointe-aux-Trembles, twenty miles upriver, to rest his exhausted men and wait for General Richard Montgomeryโs army coming down from Montreal. #RevWar #History #AmRev #RevWarTales

Rev War Tales
Sniper Murdered
14 November 1780, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. Four Loyalists waylaid Captain Francis Bradley on his own farm. A militia leader and deadly sharpshooter, Bradley had already become a terror to British and Tory forces around Charlotte. During Cornwallisโs brief occupation, he had picked off sentries at long range; only weeks earlier, he had helped ambush a large foraging expedition at McIntyreโs Farm. That afternoon, after missing cattle, he went out with his rifle, surprised two of the lurking men, and was seized from behind by the others. In the struggle, they seized his own gun and shot him dead. The killing of such an active local partisan removed one of the countyโs most effective harassers and reminded every farmer that the warโs irregular warfare could strike even at home. #RevWar #History #AmRev #RevWarTales

"Measuring greatness by lasting impact rather than by headlines is so much better. Their example is the one still worth following."
People today would do well to look up to the founders far more than to todayโs so called celebrities.
Those men risked everything to build a free republic instead of chasing popularity. George Washington believed โit is better to be alone than in bad companyโ and preferred men of good quality over the crowd. That kind of character still counts for more than any modern following.
While so called celebrities chase attention the founders left institutions, principles and culture and that have lasted for generations. Thomas Jefferson held that โonly an enlightened people can sustain free governmentโ and Benjamin Franklin knew that โwell done is better than well said.โ
Measuring greatness by lasting impact rather than by headlines is so much better. Their example is the one still worth following.

"That's how you raise a man who serves."
๐จ LOVE THIS!
THIS IS WHAT FATHERHOOD LOOKS LIKE: Sam Snowden just finished Air Force basic training at Lackland in San Antonio.
His dad, Jacob, fought back tears and told him: "You have nothing else to prove. Now you just get to go and show the world what I've known all along. I love you, son."
That's how you raise a man who serves.
Every young man in America deserves to hear those words from his father.
