A PILLAR IN THE TEMPLE
(Column ~ 06/21/19)
"Him that overcomes will I make a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, which is new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God: and I will write upon him My new Name" (Revelation 3:12).

Speakout
(Opinion ~ 06/21/19)
I’ve been seeing on TV they’ve been checking out nursing homes and finding they have poor quality service to their patients. They need to check them all out and not tell them when they are coming and just drop in and take care of it. Most of them don’t treat their patients good at all. Workers are just there for the money. Most of them just stand around and text and talk on their phones and stuff, sit outside and smoke or just stand around and do nothin. The state needs to get on the job and do their job. Thank you.
