Annunciation Catholic School is a school with a mission

Annunciation Catholic School Principal Matt DeBoer is a man with a mission. Specifically, he's a man with a divine mission. in this video, Principal DeBoer referred to a passage in the Old Testament book of Jeremiah:

Specifically, he mentioned Jeremiah chapter 29. I know that passage well, though I can't recite it by heart. Jeremiah 29:11-14 says:
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back from your captivity; I will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you, says the Lord, and I will bring you to the place from which I cause you to be carried away captive.
Anunciation Catholic School isn't in the same type of captivity as Israel was in the time Jeremiah. Anunciation's captivity is a spiritual captivity. Despite that, the LORD promises to give them "a future and a hope" but it comes with conditions. Specifically, God promises to bring them back from their spiritual captivity "when you search for Me with all your heart." In other words, prayer definitely works but only "when you search for Me with all your heart."

The children that were shot yesterday morning and their parents need to trust that the LORD has great plans for them. All they have to do is search for the LORD with all their hearts. The instant they do then, this community will find peace, not evil."

When Jen Psaki and Jacob Frey mock the power of prayer, they're actually ridiculing the all-powerful God that created the universe and everything that's in it. That's downright foolish.

It's indisputable that Anunciation Catholic Church is feeling a ton of pain. The good news is that God can't wait to lift that pain and put these people onto a path filled with peace and hope. The other great news is that we can pray for these families and put them on the path towards peace and hope. That sounds like the right thing to do. Let's do our part in rebuilding this church and this church's families.

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp...

Has Sue Ek come face-to-face with DFL hijinks?

Image
Apparently, Minnesota state and county employees aren't that attentive to details. Last night, a frequent reader of this blog sent me a statement from House Speaker-designate Lisa Demuth, R-Cold Spring ." She issued the following statement regarding vote tabulation errors, malfunctions, and discrepancies that have taken place in Sherburne and Scott Counties: The errors and discrepancies we've seen this cycle are intolerable and unacceptable. A free and fair election demands sunlight on the process. These incidents fuel distrust and raise questions about the integrity and accuracy of election results. Without an opportunity to observe or respond Sherburne County added newly-found votes to the total. Just a day later, Scott County announced an unspecified "ballot distribution error" and "ballot scanning malfunction" that triggered an abrupt re-scan of more than 20,000 ballots. There was less than two hours notice between the public announcement and the be...

Is this Tim Walz's 'One Minnesota'?

Image
Tim Walz, Minnesota's DFL governor, testifed last Thursday that Minnesota isn't a sanctuary state. Predictably, Gov. Walz wasn't entirely honest with Tom Emmer during Rep. Emmer's cross-examination of Walz. During Emmer's powerful cross-examination, Gov. Walz insisted that Minnesota isn't a sanctuary state. Keep that in mind while reading this article . First, this article isn't for the faint-of-heart. Next, it's obvious that Gov. Walz isn't comfortable telling the truth. Let's get into the report. Pay particulalr close attention to the dates included in the report. The report opens by saying "A Guatemalan national convicted of sexually abusing his stepdaughter is now facing federal charges after allegedly dragging a deportation officer down a Bloomington street with his car during a violent immigration arrest attempt. According to a criminal complaint, Roberto Carlos Munoz, 39, was charged with assaulting a federal officer with a deadly we...
