John Guy writes: "What God did at Pearl Harbor that day is interesting and I never knew this little bit of history.
Tour boats ferry people out to the USS Arizona Memorial in Hawaii every thirty minutes. We just missed a ferry and had to wait thirty minutes. I went into a small gift shop to kill time.
In the gift shop, I purchased a small book entitled, "Reflections on Pearl Harbor" by Admiral Chester Nimitz.
Sunday, December 7th, 1941— Admiral Chester Nimitz was attending a concert in Washington, DC. He was paged and told there was a phone call for him. When he answered the phone, it was President Franklin Delano Roosevelt on the phone.
He told Admiral Nimitz that he (Nimitz) would now be the Commander of the Pacific Fleet. Admiral Nimitz flew to Hawaii to assume command of the Pacific Fleet. He landed at Pearl Harbor on Christmas Eve, 1941. There was such a spirit of despair, dejection and defeat--you would have thought the Japanese had already won the war.
On Christmas Day, 1941, Adm. Nimitz was given a boat tour of the destruction wrought on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese. Big sunken battleships and navy vessels cluttered the waters everywhere you looked. As the tour boat returned to dock, the young helmsman of the boat asked, "Well Admiral, what do you think after seeing all this destruction?"
Admiral Nimitz's reply shocked everyone within the sound of his voice. Admiral Nimitz said, "The Japanese made three of the biggest mistakes an attack force could ever make, or God was taking care of America. Which do you think it was?" Shocked and surprised, the young helmsman asked, "What do mean by saying the Japanese made the three biggest mistakes an attack force ever made?
Nimitz explained:
Mistake number one:
The Japanese attacked on Sunday morning. Nine out of every ten crewmen of those ships were ashore on leave. If those same ships had been lured to sea and been sunk--we would have lost 38,000 men instead of 3,800.
Mistake number two:
When the Japanese saw all those battleships lined in a row, they got so carried away sinking those battleships, they never once bombed our dry docks opposite those ships. If they had destroyed our dry docks, we would have had to tow every one of those ships to America to be repaired. As it is now, the ships are in shallow water and can be raised. One tug can pull them over to the dry docks, and we can have them repaired and at sea by the time we could have towed them to America. And I already have crews ashore anxious to man those ships.
Mistake number three: Every drop of fuel in the Pacific theater of war is in top of the ground storage tanks five miles away over that hill. One attack plane could have strafed those tanks and destroyed our fuel supply. That's why I say the Japanese made three of the biggest mistakes an attack force could make or, God was taking care of America.
I've never forgotten what I read in that little book. It is still an inspiration as I reflect upon it. In jest, I might suggest that because Admiral Nimitz was a Texan, born and raised in Fredericksburg, Texas -- he was a born optimist. But any way you look at it -- Admiral Nimitz was able to see a silver lining in a situation and circumstance where everyone else saw only despair and defeatism.
President Roosevelt had chosen the right man for the right job. We desperately needed a leader that could see silver lining in the midst of the clouds of dejection, despair and defeat.
There is a reason that our national motto is, IN GOD WE TRUST. Why have we forgotten? PRAY FOR OUR COUNTRY! IN GOD WE TRUST."
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!!! Thanks to all of you who keep "Americana" alive! Whether you have served in the Armed Forces, as a 1st Responder, helped a neighbor or stranger in need, been an encourager & not a "Debbie Downer", done something to make your neighborhood, city or state a better place to live, always been honest in business dealings, given back any extra change that was given to you by a cashier, bought lemonade on a curb from a kid, bought someone a meal or
forgiven someone that really didn't deserve it (because Someone is always ready to do that for us).
Keep up the good work! Have a safe & Happy 4th of July!

Looking for great content about one of the greatest topics ever? Like the War of Independence from England (the 1st one)? You can find over 100 episodes of the American Revolution Podcast on many platforms.
The host speaks with many experts on the different people involved in the war as well battles & events that occurred 250 or so years ago. I started with the Battle of Bunker Hill. I started listening about John Paul Jones today. Good stuff!
Enjoy the detailed info you didn't receive in the classroom.

Have you felt let down lately? Have you been hearing for over 4 years that things were going to change drastically? That people were going to be exposed, removed from power & arrested? That the economy was going to drastically switch for the better? That there was going to be a billion soul harvest? Are you getting to the point where you think that some of these things should have happened by now?
Many things have changed in the last several months. Some people have been removed from power & arrested but they don't seem to be the ones that were being talked about for so long. Some churches are showing signs of revivals & 2 years ago there were HUGE revivals across dozens of college & high school campuses.
Many talked-about things are moving slowly on the surface. Assuredly they are moving more quickly where we can't see.
Now is not the time to take our foot off of the gas. As things are moving on other levels, we still have tasks in front of us. Keep exposing the RINO's, keep making plans to vote in the right people & volunteer to put Conservatives in the positions where they are needed, in precincts, towns, counties as well as the state & national levels.
Here's some inspiration to keep up the good fight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6wRkzCW5qI

In spite of all that is going on in the world, let us not forget the major events that led us here. D-Day was fought by thousands of brave men. They were prayed over by millions at home. This is a little bit of what it was like:

This is a great day to thank a Veteran or Active Duty Member for their service. If not for them, we would not have the freedoms that we enjoy. (Methinks even more freedoms are coming that we didn't know we lacked.)
Thank you if you are serving in the military now or served in the past. Matthew 5:9 states "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the children of God."

At the 6:54 mark of this video Tulsi Gabbard explains the reason that Russia invaded Ukraine. It was NOT a land grab. I hope this is not news to you. It would be to thousands of people though, unfortunately.

Watch out for RINO’s! Want a good sign of who the RINO's are when they haven't served in office yet? They put their signs on yard corners, open lots & sidewalks instead of talking to every house & explaining their platforms.
There is now a RINO Removal Project in America. They are coordinating organizations to primary these losers so they can
no longer run as Conservatives when they are lying, pathetic liberals. You can help get an Oklahoma chapter started. You can also see how politicians rate on the RINO scale across this great land.

Jesus did not just die for our sins, He also suffered to restore our health. Eternal life with Him and full health are very much worth thanking Him for. Happy Resurrection Sunday! 
April 19th marks the 250th Anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord, Massachussetts. They were the official beginning of the American Revolutionary War. The British fared worse than the Colonials by the end of the day; and by the end of the war.
This starting point shows that people should not mess with the principles that this nation is built upon: Freedom and Liberty. Those who believe in the Constitution have proven time and again that they will stand up to all enemies, foreign and domestic, to make this a peaceful, tranquil, prosperous land.

Here's a way to wrest control of your life back from Big Pharma: wean yourself off of/avoid statins. Statins, whether prescribed or in red yeast rice form, are terrible for your body! Don't believe me? Read Dr. Stephen Sinatra's & Dr. Johnny Bowden's "The Great Cholesterol Myth" book. They are available on eBay & Amazon. Just one of the stories in it describes an astronaut who started a statin drug & wound up catatonic the same day.
Here's a video showing the scam that has been created about all LDL cholesterol being bad & all HDL cholesterol being good.
