Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:

For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,

Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;

A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel. (Luke 2:29-32)

8. Listing Lizard in Texas could cripple oil and gas Having lived among lizards for many years I know from experience that they are pretty adaptable.  Not only that, this is a vast area under consideration, and oil drilling only takes up a couple of acres.  The lizards are not really affected by any of this effort, and some studies show the lizard numbers are increasing.  This is just another federal government land grab and produces nothing worthy of American freedom.

            “The Biden Administration is proposing the destruction of our domestic energy       engine based on a mishmash of inconsistent statements, disregarded facts, and    admitted unknowns,” said Buckingham. “As the steward of over 13 million acres     of energy-rich state land, I won’t allow this administration to use so-called           ‘conservation’ as a political token aimed at crippling Texas’ economy and stealing         from school children.”

11. DeSantis  Superpac switches to support Trump This is so sad.  Trump needed DeSantis to remain; honest.  I think DeSantis could have a great future.  There is just no way he will ever beat Trump.  At this point he should withdraw and throw his support to Trump.  His pride will not let him do that.  But I still think he would make a great vice president.

20. What do Your Kids Mean to You?

            For years I have followed the writings of others, and especially articles about the attacks on our children.  I have seen very little about how children are groomed,           and then molested.  This can cause harm that will affect them for a life time.

            When I was about 19 I dated a girl who was a very wonderful girl.  We went to a   movie, and in the process of time I learned that she was only 15.  I was   terrified.  I said something to her father about it.  I am sure they had confidence in          me, but I felt that confidence was misplaced, as anyone can be tempted.

            The data indicates that children are rarely molested by strangers.  Often it is a       parent, a brother or sister, aunt or uncle, or someone close to the family.  I have         seen men in the church groom children; the parents had confidence in the man           and let their children spend time with him.

            The only way to really protect your children is to insure they are never alone with another person.  No one is beyond the possibility of being tempted to molest a         child.  Children who are a little rebellious are the most likely to fall and sometimes       parents will let their kids spend time with an older person who they think can become a friend of the child and help him.  That can happen, but it is not always            the case.  It is impossible to know what will happen as child molesters come in all          kinds of packages.

            This is why the Boy Scouts has gotten into so much trouble.  Boys are paired        with other boys in the buddy system and they sleep together in a tent.  If one of           them happens to be a predator you can easily see what can happen.

            Frankly there is no way to know what could happen.  Having your children involved with others can pay real benefits.  However, activities must be chosen     carefully.  Church groups with a trustworthy adult and the children sleeping in     larger groups helps preserve the integrity.

            Ultimately parents must pay careful attention to what is happening with their          children to protect them from evil.  Thus, it is important to keep the channels of             communication open with your children so they can always feel free to express       their hopes and even their problems.  Children with problems are easily groomed             for trouble.

            Be watchful, teach your children the Bible, as well as how predators work.  Young             girls, especially, need to know how easily a man is stirred up.  Boys also.

            Thanks
