Stout, Rustin and Foxx set good examples

Strutting around the streets of Salisbury behind Pan-American flags is another sign of the racial division in our current culture. This is just as bad as white supremacists marching behind the Confederate battle flag.

Why not teach youth to love, honor and cherish the U.S. flag? Guide them to join the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard or the police academy instead of a movement?

Please follow the examples of the late, great Albert Stout, John L. Rustin and Essie K. Foxx and constructively work to make all people’s lives matter. These heroes loved their God with all their heart and soul and loved their fellow mankind as they loved themselves.

Respect should be given to every American. Only then will we be able to march together in peace and unity.

You have choice to make

Raindrops with hail and floods = God’s tears

Lightning bolts = blinking of God’s eyes in sadness and heartache

Roaring thunder = the pounding of His fist at today’s world of: pride, anger, corruption, jealousy, hate, evil, wars, low/no morals, disregard for life, lack of love, and soul surrendering to the devil and his underhanded, deceptive tricks.

When Noah was building the Ark, people laughed, jeered, and mocked him. They also called him vile names. But, Noah kept his faith, ignored their cries, and obeyed God’s commands. At the conclusion of God’s “crying” period, these same people had all drowned in the depths of God’s tears — because of their wickedness and unfaithfulness.

People, get ready! The King is coming and He’s coming soon. You have an important choice to make. It is your choice and yours alone. Do you want to spend eternity in heaven with your loved ones or camp out by (in) the fire with Satan?

Thank you, Heavenly Father, for all your compassion and forgiveness! Please show us the way, I pray.

Don’t let them destroy us

The America I grew up in is gone.

People who have come to America for a better way of life now want to destroy it. Trust me, they have. Why can’t people see what is happening? Open your eyes and listen and start paying attention.

Wake up, people. If we continue on the path we have been on the last eight years, things will get worse unless we get new leadership. What has happened to all our jobs?

This election Nov. 8 will be the most important we will ever have.

Worst election ever

Why hasn’t Hillary been arrested? She is a liar.

I have heard she is worse than her husband. Do people know how many houses she has and where they are?

This is the worst election we have ever had. The man we were going to vote for is no longer running.
