I feel badly that there's something I need to discuss, here on Life with Lynnie (LwL).
It's not great. In fact, it's truly sinful.
It's something that happened to me.
Hopefully, it hasn't happened to you. If it has, please realize that it wasn't truthful. It was a lie.
What was it?
Well, on Tuesday, November 14th, I was at home in the morning. About 11:15 am, I had a phone call.
The message wasn't spoken to me. It had been recorded.
The person claimed to be from our Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).
The recorded message claimed it was the second (2nd) time they tried to reach me, and told me that if I didn't return their call, then they would have me arrested.
The phone number I was given to call, was 343 867-9573.
When I checked out the 343 area code, it showed it was in Ottawa, Ontario.
Seeing that it wasn't what I thought was a government phone number, I checked it out on the internet. Couldn't see any site that related.
Except... for sites that mentioned that scammers were claiming
Then, I also found an article by cbc.ca entitled, Don't get duped by CRA scams, warns Strathcona County RCMP: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/cra-scams-strathcona-county-1.4247800.
Hopefully, you clicked on the link and read the article.
If you did, you'll know it stated (I copied/pasted):
RCMP are reminding the public to be wary of financial scams, after several people recently handed over thousands of dollars and personal information by phone and email to scammers claiming to be from the Canada Revenue Agency.
It also stated (I copied/pasted):
Police say the public should be cautious about clicking links in any email they receive, as some links may use phishing to steal personal information.
The public should protect their social insurance number and never use it as a piece of ID or offer it up freely.
Less than five per cent of mass marketing fraud is ever reported, according to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.
Anyone who believes they may have been a victim of fraud is asked to contact RCMP.
Wow!
Just so you know, I didn't call the number I mentioned, earlier. I called a CRA phone number from the internet. I called not just to mention that I thought I had been scammed, but also for another personal reason.
It took quite a while to reach someone to speak with, but about 11:55 am, the man I spoke with laughed and before we discussed my private issue, he said he thought it was scam that I had received when I received that telephone call.
Even though there had been times in the past, when I let you know about scams I've received, I thought I needed to let you know about this type of scam. For, I don't want you to be scammed.
Scams... are awful. Sinful. Lies.
Thinking of this, made me think of Proverbs 19:9, "A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish."
Amen! A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.
This means that the people who have done scams to others, shall be punished. And, those who spoke lies to try and scam, shall perish.
Hopefully, you're not a person who would do this. If you are, you will suffer for eternity.
However, if you are a person who did this, I suggest that you come to Jesus. Trust in/believe upon Him, repent of your sin, and you will gain salvation.
Then, you won't suffer in Hell, for eternity. Instead, your life will change. You'll be blessed and will spend eternity in Heaven with me... and with Jesus!
Hallelujah!
Until next time...

Special Day! Blessing!
If you've been reading Life with Lynnie (LwL), you'll know that last Friday was a special day.
Yes, it was the 8th birthday for LwL! But, it was also my birthday!
I must admit, I spent many, many, many hours on Facebook (FB).
Why?
Well, many, many, many people who are FB friends of mine wishes me... Happy Birthday! And, I responded to each posting and message.
It took a very long time for me to thank every FB friend! Just over 400 friends posted, plus about a hundred friends messaged me.
Wow!
So many postings and messages were unique. But, there was a message I received from my FB friend, T... that I thought was truly lovely. Thank you, T! Blessings..
Here is a link to the YouTube music by Paul McCartney entitled, They Say It's YOUR Birthday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MYCPB7a8ks&feature=youtu.be. If you click on that link, and listen to the song, I'm sure you'll like it as much as I did! :)
I must admit that I felt truly blessed on my birthday.
Not just by my FB friends. Also, by some of my family!
My daughter, B telephoned me and wished me Happy Birthday!
My daughter, P not only wished me Happy Birthday!... she also invited me to dinner, with her family members... my family!
We had a wonderful time, together!
We didn't just enjoy a delicious meal. We also had a lot of conversation... and laughed a lot, together!
Like always when we have dinner together, I prayed. It gives me time to talk with our Lord.
It doesn't just make me happy. I realize that our Lord, is also happy, for by me being able to pray, I bless Him.
Thinking of that, made me think of Psalm 91:16, "With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation."
Amen! As my life becomes longer and longer, I will continue to satisfy Him, and show Him my salvation! Yes, I praise Him!
Not only will He know about my salvation, but also will my family.
For this, I'm thankful.
And, always will be!
Thank you, family!
Thank you, friends!
Thank You, Lord!
Until next time...

Hallelujah!
If you read Life with Lynnie (LwL) yesterday, you'll know that I worshiped with two (2) church groups, on SONday!
You'll also know that I mentioned that there was a couple of people that I had seen every week at the morning service, but I hadn't seen them in a few weeks.
Guess what?
I saw them on SONday, at the afternoon service I attended at the Bible Community Church (BCC)!
In the past, I thought they were a married couple. After all, we hadn't discussed their situation in the past. But, I found out this past SONday, that they are actually brother and sister! Wow! :)
After the BCC worship service, dinner was available to everyone who decided to stay and have dinner..
I did. Just as I had done in the past.
But, since the BCC group had actually attended the Santa Claus parade in Windsor, on Saturday this past weekend, and had handed out about 1,000 papers relating to our Lord, many, many, many people also attended!
Not just the couple I mentioned earlier. But, there was also three (3) Muslim families, who attended!
For this, I was truly thankful! Hallelujah!
Hopefully, they will attend, again!
How many people attended and stayed for a delicious turkey dinner? About 65 people!!!
The number of people attending was far more than I had ever seen in the past, when I worshiped with BCC a few years ago. Hallelujah!
As you can probably realize, I was truly happy! And, was thankful!
This brought to mind, Psalm 30:12, "To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever."
Amen! My glory may sing praise to thee and not be silent. O Lord, my God, I will give thanks unto thee forever!
If you had attended, you may have been surprised at what Pastor Brad Mayer preached. His sermon was entitled, What Would Jesus Say... To Santa.
I realize that many people may not have liked having that subject as a sermon, but I did. And, so did everyone else there!
After all, like I said earlier, some of the people who attended, had actually attended the Santa Claus parade, here in Windsor, on Saturday, November 25th.
I must admit, it was truly a blessing.
Yes, I was thankful and happy that the sermon actually had the same desire, as what I wrote about in a blog entry that I wrote in the past, here for LwL, but won't be posted until just before Christmas!
For this, I was truly thankful. Not just to Pastor Brad Mayer, but also to God!
Thank You, Lord!

So Much!
There's something I'm going to mention today, here on Life with Lynnie (LwL).
It's a bit similar to last week. But, different also.
Yesterday, being SONday... I went to worship with church family.
Just as I normally do at 11:00 a.m.
The pastor and his wife weren't there. They were on vacation.
The Christian man who preached, did so wonderfully! I praised God!
There was a couple of people missing again. I hadn't seen them in a few weeks time.
At least not at that church family group.
Later, at 4:00 p.m., I went to worship with the church family where I attended last SONday.
Here's a link so you can see about the Bible Community Church (BCC) group, even though they are no longer at that address: http://biblecommunitychurchofwindsor.webstarts.com/. Please know that if you're interested in attending, you can e-mail me and I'll let you know the information you'll need.
I have to admit that I truly was happy finding that Pastor Brad Mayer, a few weeks ago.
Before I began having all those major surgeries over the past few years, I used to worship at a church in the morning. Then, in the afternoon, I worshipped at BCC. And, for a while was in charge of the music.
However, with being not well, and with BCC moving to another location and them thinking I wasn't interested in attending, I wasn't contacted.
But, it was truly a blessing finding the group, again!
I must admit, I was truly thankful!
Thinking of this, made me think of Colossians 3:17, "And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him."
Amen! Whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by Him!
I do! So much!
I thank Jesus!
After all, He opened the door for me to be able to worship with that group of church family, once again.
For this, I'm thankful and always will be.
Thank You, Lord!

Extraordinary...
As I'm sure you know, I'll discuss something today, here on Life with Lynnie (LwL).
After all, it's our day of worship. Our Lord's Day!
Yes, we should worship with our church family. But, we can also worship through music.
So, I decided to share some music with you.
This music is sung by Laura Story and is entitled, Extraordinary. Here is a link for you to listen to and/or sing along: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB_s7AArMcc. The lyrics are below.
Extraordinary
No eye has ever seen
No ear has ever heard
The fullness of Your love
The kindness undeserved
This mystery of grace
I cannot comprehend
That You would call me child
That You would call me friend
You are extraordinary
In the way You love
In the way You love me
You find me when I'm weary
And You lift me up
In Your arms I'm carried
My heart is overwhelmed
Your affection rushing in
You are extraordinary
In the way You love
In the way You love me Lord
I see it in Your heart
Your passion for the lost
A love that knows no bounds
Enduring any cost
I see it in Your life
Given freely on a cross
That You would pay that price
That I might gain it all
And I know my words will never be enough
To thank You Lord for Your extraordinary love
Yes I know my words will never be enough
So let my life declare Your extraordinary love
Wow!
I only recently heard that song. And, I must admit, I enjoyed it.
Why?
Because I believe that Jesus' love is extremely extraordinary, just as the lyrics state.
Thinking of His love, made me think of John 15:9, "As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love."
Yes, Jesus said... as the Father hath loved Me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
Amen!
We need to continue in Jesus' love for us. Especially, since He and God the Father loved us so very much, that Jesus came to fulfill God the Father's plan of redemption for us.
He, our Lord... gave His life, to pay the price for the sin of the world, for all who would believe upon Him. By doing this, He created a way for us to gain salvation, by trusting in/believing upon Him.
I've done this.
Have you?
If not, please come to Christ, today.
Tomorrow may be too late.
Until next time...

Good? Good!
Hey? Do you know what I like to do and discuss, here on Life with Lynnie (LwL)?
You may know. But, if you don't, I'll let you know.
I enjoy watching movies!
Here are some, what I call movies, even though some people call them episodes:
* Columbo: A Bird in the Hand, starring Peter Falk, Tyne Daly and other actors. If you'd like to check out this crime, drama, mystery film, please click on this link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103986/. As I'm sure you know, I enjoyed it!
* Columbo: Murder by Death, starring Peter Falk, Alec Guinness and other actors. Click on this link, to check out this comedy, mystery, thriller film: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074937/. Yes, I enjoyed watching it.
* Columbo: Butterfly in Shades of Grey, starring Peter Falk, William Shatner and other actors. Please check this crime, drama, mystery film by clicking on this link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109458/ . As I'm sure you realize, I enjoyed it, especially since William Shatner who is/was Canadian, was an actor on it!
* Columbo: Undercover, starring Peter Falk, Ed Begley Jr. and other actors. To check out this crime, drama, mystery film, click on this link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0130563/. I was happy to see this.
* Columbo: Strange Bedfellows, starring Peter Falk, George Wendt and other actors. If you'd like to check out this crime, drama, mystery film, you'll be best to click on this link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112705/. Hopefully, you're like me and would enjoy this film!
As you can see, I truly enjoy watching the Columbo series of mystery films, that are quite often drama and crime, but sometimes includes comedy.
If you've read about Columbo in the past, you'll know that I enjoy watching Peter Falk, because he looks like my dad's brother, my uncle who is no longer alive.
But, I also enjoy watching Columbo, because he seems to like/love people, who are actual enemies, because they've been a murderer, on the film. He treats them well, until he's finally able to deal with them, lawfully.
Thinking of that, made me think of Matthew 5:43-44, "Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;"
Amen! We need to bless them that curse us... and do good to them that hate us... and pray for them which despitefully use us, and persecute us.
Just as Columbo does, as an actor on the films.
And, just as I do, towards my enemies.
Do you?
If you do, God will bless you.
Until next time...

Happy 8th Birthday, LwL!
Today,
is a special day
here on
Life with Lynnie (LwL).
It's
Life with Lynnie's
8th
birthday!
Happy Birthday
Life with Lynnie!
Wow!
For eight (8) years,
LwL
has been active.
Now, the ninth (9th) year
has begun.
What a blessing!
Thinking about how
LwL
has been blessed,
made me think of...
James 1:25,
"But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed."
Amen!
Even though
Life with Lynnie
is not a man,
LwL
is
a doer of the work...
and shall be
blessed
for doing...
all...
for...
God.
For this,
I
am truly thankful.
And, always will be.
Thank You, Lord!
Until next time...

It Is!
I'll be discussing something, here on Life with Lynnie (LwL).
It's something that I realize many people wouldn't care about. But, I do.
What is it?
It has to do with the problem I'm having on Facebook (FB).
As I've mentioned in the past, FB has been blocking me for a week, about every 2nd week, since the end of September.
Being blocked means that I am not able to share my blog entries for Life with Lynnie (LwL), on groups I've created, groups I am an administrator for, or any of the other groups I am a member of. Even though each group is a Christian group, and I am a Christian writer.
For a long time, I didn't have any idea why that was happening.
Then, as I mentioned previously, I saw and shared articles letting everyone know that the German government has created a law that they told FB about. You see, FB can be sued if they allow any postings that the German government doesn't like to see.
Sigh...
How could this affect me? At first, I didn't have any idea.
Later, after finding out that many, many other Christian FB friends were being treated the same way, I realized that FB must feel that Christianity is not acceptable. Other than saying we love Jesus, which seems okay.
Then, a Christian FB friend who I've known for many years, shared a posting on my FB wall/timeline. It was shocking, also!
I am sharing the article with you. It's by cbc.ca and is entitled, Federal government blocking social media users, deleting posts: http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/twitter-facebook-socialmedia-porn-1.4394127.
If you read the article, you'll know what I'm sharing with you (I copied/pasted):
Canadian government departments have quietly blocked nearly 22,000 Facebook and Twitter users, with Global Affairs Canada accounting for nearly 20,000 of the blocked accounts, CBC News has learned.
Moreover, nearly 1,500 posts — a combination of official messages and comments from readers — have been deleted from various government social media accounts since January 2016.
However, there could be even more blocked accounts and deleted posts. In answer to questions tabled by Opposition MPs in the House of Commons, several departments said they don't keep track of how often they block users or delete posts.
It is not known how many of the affected people are Canadian.
It's also not known how many posts were deleted or users were blocked prior to the arrival of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government.
Sigh...
Believe me when I say that on FB... my postings have never been deleted. I've only been prevented/blocked from being able to share postings, as I mentioned, previously.
Even so, some FB friends had told me that some of their postings had been deleted. So, they must have been deleted by our Canadian government.
Sigh...
This just confirms to me that there are people in our Canadian government who also hate Christians. Much like what we see happens in USA.
Are you shocked I said that?
Well, please don't be. Just click on this link to see a video on YouTube entitled, BREAKING: BERNIE SANDERS LASHES OUT ON CHRISTIAN WHEN HE REFUSES TO DENY FAITH TO CONGRESS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2n_5F873JU.
Hopefully, you clicked on that link, and watched the entire video. If you did, you'll know that I am again speaking truth, regarding Christians being hated.
Christians being hated, are actually suffering persecution. But, it's okay.
Just as we read, in Matthew 5:10, "Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
Amen!
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven!
That means that we can know for sure that even though some of us Christians are being hated and being persecuted, we are being treated that way, because we truly belong to God, who we will someday be with in the kingdom of Heaven.
Being hurt isn't easy.
But, God is good.
Thank You, Lord!
Until next time...

It's something that I realize many people wouldn't care about. But, I do.
What is it?
It has to do with the problem I'm having on Facebook (FB).
As I've mentioned in the past, FB has been blocking me for a week, about every 2nd week, since the end of September.
Being blocked means that I am not able to share my blog entries for Life with Lynnie (LwL), on groups I've created, groups I am an administrator for, or any of the other groups I am a member of. Even though each group is a Christian group, and I am a Christian writer.

Worship & More!
This is another time when I will let you know, here on Life with Lynnie (LwL) about how busy my weekend was!
Yes, as you hopefully read, you'll know that on Friday evening, I attended an event at a friend's church. Then, on Saturday evening, I attended an event at another friend's church.
Now, I'm going to let you know that on Saturday, I also worked hard, making an extremely large amount of pasta salad.
Hopefully, you won't mind that I am not going to give you the recipe on how to make it. But, I will let you know that I made a lot, because on SONday, I needed to bring a large amount of food to... two (2) church events!
Of course, the first (1st) church event was attending where I have been worshiping. First Baptist Church does not yet have it's own website, but here is a link, for you to read about it: http://swoda.uwindsor.ca/node/2043.
After our worship service, we all enjoyed a pot-luck luncheon. It was truly a blessing spending time with everyone.
Although, I felt badly that a friend of mine, wasn't there, due to being ill. So, please... join me in prayer that, J... will be healed, quickly. Thank you! Blessings...
After seeing some family members, I made my way to where Pastor Brad Mayer was worshiping with fellow Christians.
Here's a link, for you to read about Bible Community Church, even though the address is now different: http://biblecommunitychurchofwindsor.webstarts.com/. If you want information, feel free to e-mail Pastor Brad Mayer.
Just so you know, in the past, I used to worship with this church group, in addition to where I worshipped, many years ago. Just so you know, I did it to assist Pastor Brad Mayer. And, for a while, he had me as the music person. :)
This worship service has almost always been at 4:00 p.m., so it seemed good to try and join in to worship there, again. And, they were also going to have a pot-luck meal, afterwards... so, I brought pasta salad, there also! Mmmm... thank you! That meal was also delicious!
I must admit, it was truly a blessing being there to worship!
Not just because I knew Pastor Brad Mayer. But, also because I knew a couple of people who worship there, now! :)
Plus, the worship service was a true blessing! For this, I praised God.
Thinking of this, made me think of Psalm 146:1, "Praise ye the Lord. Praise the Lord, O my soul."
Amen! Praise Ye, Lord!
It truly touched my heart being with this church group, again. Even though there were some people I had never met before, in the past.
It was truly a blessing to me.
Thank you, Pastor Brad Mayer.
Thank You, Lord!
Until next time...

Music & Prayer...
If you read Life with Lynnie (LwL) yesterday, then you'll know I attended a church event.
Well, I also attended another church event on the evening of Saturday, November 18th! Click on this link, to find out about The Gathering Church: https://www.tgcw.org/.
Once again, I must say that it wasn't an event held where I worship on SONdays. It was an event that another Christian friend of mine had invited me to, on Facebook (FB)!
This event was an evening of music, and prayer.
What a wonderful event it was for me to attend! I was so thankful, being invited. Thank you, D!
Just so you know, D also let me know that he needs to find a place to live. For some reason, he's basically without somewhere to call... home.
Sigh...
This truly touched my heart. I prayed with D, at the end of the event. And, later asked some Christians if they knew where D could have as a new address.
By the way, if you know anyone or anywhere in Windsor, Ontario, Canada that is available for D to live, please e-mail me, and I'll be happy to pass the information on to, D.
After all, I want to be able to help, D... find what he needs. After all, since he is a Christian partially disabled friend, I hope to do good for him.
This brought to mind, Hebrews 13:16, "But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased."
Amen! To do good and communicate, God is well pleased.
Another way of pleasing God, would be to pray for, D.
So, please... join me in prayer. Thank you for praying.
May God bless you!
Until next time...

Blessed!
There's something I need to tell you about, here on Life with Lynnie (LwL). It's what I did on Friday, November 17, 2017.
It was a busy day for me. However, I was able to attend an event I was invited to, in the evening.
The event was at Banwell Community Church. Here's a link for you to check out this place of worship: http://banwellchurch.org/.
Did I go there on Friday evening, to worship? No.
My friend, D who works there, had placed on Facebook (FB) an invitation to the event. It was an event where a movie was shown.
The Christian movie was entitled, Paper Angels. Please click on this link, to check it out: https://www.christianfilmdatabase.com/review/paper-angels/.
I have to admit, it was wonderful for me to go and attend that movie event!
Yes, the movie was wonderful. Especially, since it was a Christian film.
However, it made me feel good to attend watching the movie.
Why?
Because, everyone who attended had to bring either a financial donation, or a donation of some food, to be given to those who are in need of assistance.
This truly touched my heart, and made me feel that I and all who attended, would be blessed helping those in need.
Thinking of this, made me think of Proverbs 22:9, "He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor."
Amen!
It is so important to help those who truly need assistance in feeding them. After all, those in need may be considered poor, since they are receiving gifts.
But, God blesses everyone who giving to them.
Just in case you want to know, I truly enjoyed the movie.
Hopefully, you will... also!
Until next time...

True Colors
From time to time, here on Life with Lynnie (LwL), there is something I do.
Especially on our day of worship. Like today!
You can probably guess what I'm referring to.
Music! Because we can worship through music!
There's a song I've known for a long time, that I haven't shared with you, here on LwL, because it truly wasn't Christian music. Even so, I decided to share it with you, because I could relate to our Lord, even so.
I hadn't heard it in a while. However, a Facebook (FB) friend of mine, shared it on Google+, and I was able to listen to it.
The song was written by Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly, and is sung on this link with lyrics for you to see, by Cyndi Lauper. It's called, True Colors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7xjYeWOhbU. Just so you know, my FB friend shared a different link, that I found to be beautiful, but since it didn't lyrics on the link, I didn't share it; here it is, if you'd like to listen to it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=39&v=PR3Rzmr9Iqg. The lyrics are below.
True Colors
You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small
But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow
Show me a smile then,
Don't be unhappy, can't remember
When I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there
And I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow
[Whisper:] Can't remember, when I last saw you laugh.
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there
And I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors
True colors are shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow.
I see true colors in people. Yes, I see the true color of love within people.
Thinking of this, made me think of 1 John 4:18, "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love."
Those who I have known who have the true color of love, have the love of God within them.
Yet, some people don't feel that way. Some people have fear.
As we read in today's Bible verse, there is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
How are we made perfect in love?
By loving God. Who we love, because He first loved us.
I love God.
Do you?

War...
Do you have any idea what I'll discuss today, here on Life with Lynnie (LwL)?
If you read LwL often, you'll probably understand that even though I don't do this, every single Saturday, I do it often.
What is it?
I discuss... movies!
Here are some movies I've recently watched:
* Battle of Britain, starring Michael Caine, Christopher Plummer and many, many, many other actors. Please... click on this link, so you can check out this British Second World War film: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Britain_(film). Knowing this was a WW2 movie, I was happy to see it!
* Hanover Street, starring Harrison Ford, Lesley-Anne Down and Christopher Plummer. If you'd like to check out this Anglo-American wartime romantic film, click on this link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanover_Street_(film). Even though this movie was about WW2, I truly enjoyed it!
* The Devil's Brigade, starring William Holden, Cliff Robertson and many, many other actors. Want to check out this American DeLuxe Color war film? If so, click on this link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Devil%27s_Brigade_(film). I must admit, I enjoyed this movie!
* Alamo Bay, starring Amy Madigan, Ed Harris and Ho Nguyen. To check out this drama film about a Vietnam war veteran, click on this link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alamo_Bay. Even though movies about veterans can be sad, I enjoyed this movie.
* The Dirty Dozen, starring Lee Marvin, Ernest Borgnine, Charles Bronson and many, many other actors. Here is a link for you to click on, to check out this American war film: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dirty_Dozen. I enjoyed this movie, and all the actors in it!
Knowing that Remembrance Day here in Canada, and Veteran's Day in USA was on November 11th, I watched a lot of movies that related to war. Not all were of the same war, but the American movie channels had many war films.
For this, I was truly thankful.
So, that's why I decided to share them with you.
Thinking about how my dad, and other relatives participated in the WW2 Normandy Invasion, my heart was truly touched.
After all, war can be fearful.
Thinking of those who fought to protect Freedom, for many people in many countries, truly touches my heart. Especially, since many people looked to our God, to help them.
This made me think of Deuteronomy 20:1, "When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies, and seest horses, and chariots, and a people more than thou, be not afraid of them: for the Lord thy God is with thee, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt."
Amen! Many people went against enemies, during various wars. And, even though some people were nervous, they were not truly afraid, for God was with them.
Hallelujah!
Even so, I feel badly that many people lost their lives.
Hopefully, they trusted in/believed upon our Lord, Jesus Christ. For, if they did... then they would have gained salvation. And, will spend eternity with Him, in Heaven.
Just as I will do, when my life, here on earth... ends.
Will I see you in Heaven?
Hopefully, so.
Until next time...

Knowing that Remembrance Day here in Canada, and Veteran's Day in USA was on November 11th, I watched a lot of movies that related to war. Not all were of the same war, but the American movie channels had many war films.
For this, I was truly thankful.
So, that's why I decided to share them with you.
Thinking about how my dad, and other relatives participated in the WW2 Normandy Invasion, my heart was truly touched.
After all, war can be fearful.
Thinking of those who fought to protect Freedom, for many people in many countries, truly touches my heart. Especially, since many people looked to our God, to help them.
This made me think of Deuteronomy 20:1, "When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies, and seest horses, and chariots, and a people more than thou, be not afraid of them: for the Lord thy God is with thee, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt."
Amen! Many people went against enemies, during various wars. And, even though some people were nervous, they were not truly afraid, for God was with them.
Hallelujah!
Even so, I feel badly that many people lost their lives.
Hopefully, they trusted in/believed upon our Lord, Jesus Christ. For, if they did... then they would have gained salvation. And, will spend eternity with Him, in Heaven.
Just as I will do, when my life, here on earth... ends.
Will I see you in Heaven?
Hopefully, so.
Until next time...

Truth & Satan Lucifer...
There's something I need to discuss, here on Life with Lynnie (LwL). It's not something I wrote. It's something someone else wrote.
It refers to both the Bible and the Qur'an. Referring to meaning about both Christianity, and Islam.
Here's what I saw the person share as a posting (I copied/pasted):
Wow!
Hopefully, you can see that I copied and pasted the entire posting, including the picture.
Here's a copy of the link available for you to see, on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLoUq8vybzY.
Please, watch the video.
If you do, you will understand truth.
Truth about our Christian God and what He's told us. And, truth about what the Islamic god told everyone.
Thinking about truth, made me think of John 17:17, "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth."
Amen! We need to be legitimate. We need to speak truth, for Thy Word is truth.
What is Thy Word? The Bible!
Please, take all the time needed to not only check out this posting. Do all that you can, to research, and you will learn truth.
May God bless you.
Until next time...

SHOCKING! The Quran admits that Allah is Satan Lucifer!
Find out what you DON'T KNOW about what you believe.
The truth will SHOCK YOU! Muslims...you'll never b...e the same again if you are honest!
The Great Deceiver Allah from Quran is the SAME PERSON with Satan (Lucifer) The Great Deceiver from Bible! https://ok.ru/video/10666968472

Isaiah 14
12. How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13. For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of Elohim: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
15. Yet thou shalt be brought down to HELL, to the sides of the pit.

If the Bible has been changed or has been corrupted, then that would mean the Quran is corrupt as well, since it is a confirmation of the Scriptures which came before it: Quran 10:37. Therefore, the Bible is truth, and the Quran is a lie. "Add thou not unto His Words, lest He reprove thee, and thou be found a liar."
(Proverbs 30:6) ~ See Also Revelation 22:18-19 ~ Muslims have been deceived by the greatest of all deceivers himself. Muslims, must repent and turn to Jesus Christ for the salvation of their soul before its too late! Jesus' Hebrew name is Yeshua, which literally means "salvation".
Those who have Him, have salvation. Those who do not, will perish in their sin and go to hell forever and ever. Jesus says: "I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I AM He, ye shall die in your sins." (John 8:24)
For all those Muslims who say that they love Jesus (Isa), listen to what He says:
"Jesus answered and said unto him: If a man love Me, he will KEEP My Words: and My Father will love him, and We will come unto him, and make Our abode with him. He that loveth Me not, keepeth not My sayings: and the Word which ye hear is not Mine, but the Father's which sent Me." (John 14:23-24)
Why is this so important?
"And if any man hear My Words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejecteth Me, and receiveth not My Words, hath one that judgeth him: The Word [Bible] that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day." (John 12:47-48)
12. How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

Lithuanian Cell Phone Scammers!
There is something I need to discuss, here on Life with Lynnie (LwL).
It's not something great. But, it is something that seems to be happening to people, and not just me. After all, we are truly living in perilous times.
In the past, I've been approached by scammers.
Yes, while on Facebook (FB). However, not just on FB.
A while ago, I used to get faxed by scammers. That faxing used to happen mainly in the middle of the night, where I live.
Those faxes wanted me to pay them money.
On FB, I've had some scammers who want the same thing, but did things by chatting, and not faxing. Most of those people pretended to be someone other than who they truly are.
Then, on Wednesday, November 8th, 2017, I had something else happen.
At first, I didn't know who the person was who had called me on my cell phone. But, I was glad I didn't get to answer the call, and saw it was a phone number that I hadn't ever known.
I thought I'd call back, but because I realized the country phone number was unknown to me, I searched on the internet.
Guess what I found? I saw a link to an article that I decided to share with you, after I clicked on the link, and read it.
Here is the link to the article entitled, Mobile users targeted by phone scam involving Lithuanian numbers: http://www.thejournal.ie/phone-scam-lithuania-798200-Feb2013/.
Hopefully, you read the article. If you did, you'll know it stated (I copied/pasted):
SEVERAL MOBILE PHONE users have reported being targeted by a phone scam involving calls from Lithuanian numbers.
Last night, Irish mobile users with 087 numbers received short or missed calls from a number starting with +37, the Lithuanian country code.
It emerged last month that mobile users were targeted by a Slovenian premium number scam which tried to encourage users to return the call and run up high charges.
Sigh...
Yes, the article was written in February, 2013. However, it is still an article that is honest, even though we are in November 2017. Meaning close to almost five (5) years!
Can you imagine how awful it is that for almost five (5) years, scammers have been treating people in a sinful way. They have been doing fraud, and have been hurting others, to benefit themselves.
Those who are fraudulently scamming people are very different than people who are of my Lord, for they are not.
Scammers are of their father, the devil.
Just as we read, in John 8:44, "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it."
Amen. That's exactly what Satan, the devil was like. And, it matches totally, what scammers are like. So, they truly belong to Satan, and not to God.
I must admit that I feel upset and sad, for I hate being scammed, in any way, or even having someone trying to scam me. But, I feel like that for only for a short time.
Why? Because, I pray... and let my God know that I forgive the scammer who is doing what they can to hurt me.
Plus, as I've said in the past, praying for people who are hurtful to others, must be done.
Why?
If the hurtful, fraudulently scamming people are doing the evil things they shouldn't be doing, they truly need to come to Christ, and gain salvation, by trusting in/believing upon our Lord, Jesus Christ. Then, they will gain salvation after repenting of the sin in their lives.
Of course, if they or anyone else refuses to come to Christ, and gain salvation, then they will spend eternity in Hell, separated from God, with NO chance of escape.
Hopefully, I'll see you... in Heaven!
Until next time...

Gift, Help and Love...
Today, I'll be letting you know, here on Life with Lynnie (LwL), about what happened last Friday, November 10th.
If you read LwL's blog entry that day, then you'd be aware that it was the day of my grandson, Z's birthday!
I must say that at lunch time, I didn't see Z. I actually spent time with my friend, A.
A and I had lunch together at Red Lobster. It's a restaurant that A and I hadn't been to for a long time. :)
Not only did we enjoy the meal, we enjoyed our time together!
Of course, at suppertime, I went to be with my family. And, truly enjoyed it!
We celebrated Z's birthday!
Yes, we had a lovely meal that Z likes! Thank you, P... my loving daughter!
What a wonderful time we had! It seemed like a gift to me.
Thinking of that, made me think of James 1:17, "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning."
Amen!
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
He provided me with wonderful gifts that day.
I truly appreciated being with my family. And, with my friend.
Of course, I absolutely appreciated that my grandson, D... helped me!
Before I left, D did for me, what I couldn't physically do. For this, I was so truly thankful.
Thank you, D!
Hopefully, you realize that I will always love my family and friends.
For them, I'm truly thankful.
Thank You, Lord!
Until next time...

Facebook Persecution...
Here on Life with Lynnie (LwL), I feel I want to discuss things that happened on November 9th, 2017.
As you may have read on LwL, that day was my daughter B's birthday. So, it was truly nice being able to see her, when I took her the birthday gift and card! Thank You, Lord!
Later, I was at home. And, I was feeling tired and worn out. Physically, not emotionally.
At midnight, after the LwL entry was posted on the internet, I decided I would share it on Facebook (FB), just as I normally do.
I posted on my wall/timeline.
Then, on a group page I created.
When I went to share the posting on another group page I created, I had a problem. And, wasn't able to share the posting, there.
Then, when I tried to post on a group page I am a member of, FB wouldn't let me share the posting. I was again told that I wouldn't be able to share postings and/or comment on any group pages... for an entire week.
Sigh...
Here is what I posted on my wall/timeline (I copied/pasted):
(Lynn McKenzie)... is feeling frustrated, and feels badly that Facebook has once again blocked me from posting Christian entries, for another week. This is the 4th time in 8 weeks, where for a solid week each time, I've been prevented from sharing/posting on groups that I am a member of, and/or commenting. This is absolutely awful, especially since I haven't done anything bad to expect being treated this way. I forgive Facebook, but may God deal with those who are working for them and doing this to people like me. And, may God deal with the German government who let Facebook know that if any postings that they feel is offensive, is allowed too be posted, then they will sue Facebook. To me, this means that Facebook is hurting me and other Christians. Yes, being persecuted. Please pray. Thank you. Blessings...
Then later, I commented to a sister in the Lord, who commented on this remark I posted (I copied/pasted):
Facebook seems to be afraid that Germany will not like any Christian postings, so FB doesn't want us to do it. I'm being treated like some other Christians have told me they are. Blessings, dear sis...
Sigh...
Knowing that I do all I can for my Lord, through writing here on LwL, and sharing/posting entries on FB so that people can read them, I realize that I am being persecuted... by Facebook, due to what the German government has told they would do to FB, if they don't like what FB allowed to be posted.
Yes, I'm definitely persecuted.
Thinking about being persecuted, made me think of 2 Timothy 3:12, "Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution."
Amen! I live godly in Christ Jesus, and now suffer persecution.
Being persecuted definitely isn't fun. Persecution is also not easy.
But, God is good. And, my Lord, Jesus Christ will bless me, for I am doing all I can... for Him.
For this, I am thankful.
And, always will be.
Thank You, Lord!
Until next time...

H.B. T! & Prayer Request...
Something unusual will happen, here on Life with Lynnie (LwL).
What is it?
Well, since I don't usually comment about wishing a friend... Happy Birthday!.. today's LwL entry is very different. Yes, I wish my friend, T... Happy Birthday!
Why did I do this, today?
My plan wasn't to mention about my friend's birthday. The reason I decided to mention, T... is because T was injured at work several weeks ago.
Even though I prayed for healing for T, and even though T let me know that healing was happening, healing never became completely done.
After a few weeks, I found out from a relative of T's, that apparently T had so much pain, that T collapsed. This caused more injury... a leg problem, in addition to the back, neck and head problem previously.
When this happened, T went to the emergency department at the hospital to gain medical care/treatment. But, it didn't just happen that day. Apparently, T didn't just see a doctor in the emergency department. T was admitted to the hospital.
After about 10 days, I found out that T, was a patient in the hospital, and will have to go to a rehabilitation unit, for further medical help/care.
This is what I decided to mention to you, so that you would join me in prayer, for T.
Prayer is so very important.
Especially, when two or three (2 or 3) or more people decide to pray together for an issue of any kind.
Thinking of this, made me think of Matthew 18:20, "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."
Amen! Just as Jesus told us in today's Bible verse, where two or three (2 or 3) are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them!
This means that as we pray together, Our Lord, is with us, in the midst of the group of people.
Hallelujah!
Just so you know, when I decided to write this, ask you for prayer, and post it here on LwL, I realized that this date, is actually T's birthday. So, I decided to also wish T... Happy Birthday!
But, as I've mentioned, I am asking you to join me in prayer, asking our Lord, to heal T. And, anyone/everyone else that we know needs healing.
Thank you. May God bless you.
p.s. By the way, even though I wrote this LwL entry a while ago and scheduled it to be posted today, I found out that my friend who I've asked you to pray for, was able to return home from the hospital. Praise God! Thank You, Lord! Even so, healing is still needed, so I would thank you again, for continuing to pray. Blessings...
Until next time...

What is it?
Well, since I don't usually comment about wishing a friend... Happy Birthday!.. today's LwL entry is very different. Yes, I wish my friend, T... Happy Birthday!
Why did I do this, today?
My plan wasn't to mention about my friend's birthday. The reason I decided to mention, T... is because T was injured at work several weeks ago.
Even though I prayed for healing for T, and even though T let me know that healing was happening, healing never became completely done.
After a few weeks, I found out from a relative of T's, that apparently T had so much pain, that T collapsed. This caused more injury... a leg problem, in addition to the back, neck and head problem previously.
When this happened, T went to the emergency department at the hospital to gain medical care/treatment. But, it didn't just happen that day. Apparently, T didn't just see a doctor in the emergency department. T was admitted to the hospital.
After about 10 days, I found out that T, was a patient in the hospital, and will have to go to a rehabilitation unit, for further medical help/care.
This is what I decided to mention to you, so that you would join me in prayer, for T.
Prayer is so very important.
Especially, when two or three (2 or 3) or more people decide to pray together for an issue of any kind.
Thinking of this, made me think of Matthew 18:20, "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."
Amen! Just as Jesus told us in today's Bible verse, where two or three (2 or 3) are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them!
This means that as we pray together, Our Lord, is with us, in the midst of the group of people.
Hallelujah!

Friend... Draw Me Close...
If you don't mind, I'll be sharing something with you, here on Life with Lynnie (LwL).
It's nothing personal. After all, today is our special day. It's our day of worship!
As I've said in the past, worshipping through music is wonderful.
So, today I will share with you some music. It's not a hymn, but to me, it is something that touched my heart.
The music is by Michael W. Smith and is entitled, Draw Me Close. Here is a link for you to listen to and/or sing along: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GA-rlIHFnh4&feature=youtu.be. The lyrics are below.
Draw Me Close
Draw me close to You
Never let me go
I lay it all down again
To hear You say that I'm Your friend
You are my desire
No one else will do
Cause nothing else can take Your place
To feel the warmth of Your embrace
Help me find the way
Lord, bring me back to You
You're all I want
You're all I ever needed
You're all I want
Help me know You are near
Draw me close to You
Never let me go
I lay it all down again
To hear you say that I'm Your friend
You are my desire
No one else will do
Cause nothing else can take Your place
To feel the warmth of Your embrace
Help me find the way
Lord, bring me back to You
Amen!
I'm so thankful that a Facebook (FB) friend shared this music with me. Thank you, dear friend!
There's something I feel I need to say.
After I heard only the beginning of the music, I checked out the lyrics. Even though the lyrics I saw on the internet never showed words like You, or Your, but just showed it as... you, or your... I felt that the music drew me to Him. And, thought I would have to let you know that.
However, when listening to the entire song, I was happy to hear that it was truly meant to rely upon our Lord! For... Lord, was mentioned, even though the lyrics didn't say that. So, I adjusted the lyrics here on LwL.
Hallelujah! Praise God!
Thinking about how we are His friend, made me think of John 15:15, "Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you."
Amen! Jesus doesn't call us servants, just as we just read He said, for servants knoweth not what his Lord doesth: but I have called you... friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father, I have made known unto you.
Again, all I can say is... hallelujah!
He has called us... friends!
Does this mean He means it to everyone in the world? No.
What was said, referred only to those of us who have gained salvation by trusting in/believing upon our Lord, Jesus Christ... and have repented of sin in our lives, and have created a relationship with Him.
I'm His friend.
Are you?
If you're not yet, please... come to Christ, today... and gain salvation.
Tomorrow, may be too late.
Until next time...

Remembrance Day!
As I mentioned over the past couple of days,
today...
is a special day
here on Life with Lynnie (LwL).
Why?
Because, it's a special day, for all who are
thankful...
to those who did all they could
to help us
keep...
freedom.
It's Remembrance Day!
It's a day
when we
honour those who fought for our freedom.
We need
to
remember
and...
NOT
forget.
Those who should not be forgotten,
we need to
remember.
Just as we do,
on...
Remembrance Day.
After all,
they showed us
great...
LOVE.
They did all they could
to help
protect us, and provide us with freedom,
by risking their lives...
and/or
losing their lives.
Thinking of this, made me think of...
John 15:13, " Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."
To those who have done all they could to help us have
freedom,
whether you are alive,
or
whether your life ended,
I want you to know that
I love you...
and..
thank you!
May God bless you...
Until next time...

H.B. Z! & Honour...
Before I begin today's Life with Lynnie (LwL) entry, I'd like to wish my grandson, Z... Happy Birthday! I'm looking forward to celebrating with you. Happy Birthday!
If you read yesterday's LwL entry, you'll know that World War 1 was mentioned. Plus, you'll also know that honouring veterans from then, and/or any other wars may be dishonoured.
Why?
Because in USA a group of people are using law suits to try and remove honouring of veterans. If it happens regarding the memorial for WW1, then it will open the door for any/all memorials to be removed.
Not just in USA. It may open the door for groups like that, to do the same in other countries. Like where I live, and possibly where you live.
To me, it's truly evil that any group of people would want to dishonour those who fought for our freedom.
However, today... I'll be letting you know about how we in Canada honour those who have fought for our freedom.
We in Canada, celebrate November 11th, as our Remembrance Day!
Here's a link for you to click on, to check it out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remembrance_Day.
Yes, Remembrance Day is a statutory holiday, here in Canada. Here's a link for you to click on, to check it out: https://www.statutoryholidays.com/remembrance_day.php.
Hopefully, you clicked on that link, and read the article. If you did, you'll also know that there is someone who is speaking up, who wants our November 11th Remembrance Day to be no longer a statutory holiday.
If it happens to us, here in Canada, then it may open the door for someone or a group of people to do what they are trying to do in USA and/or other countries, regarding removing memorials.
Talk about evilness! I believe that by removing memorials and/or statutory holidays honouring anyone, would be a way of dishonouring those who have done all they could to provide us our freedom.
After all, we need to honour those who do all they can for us.
Especially, since in life, there is time for war.
Just as we read, in Ecclesiastes 3:8, "A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace."
Amen! Just as we read in today's Bible verse, there is... a time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
We had a time of war, in the past. And, in some ways have a time of war, even today.
But, it seems that since people want to dishonour by removing memorials of those who have fought for our freedom, there is also a time of hate. For, they do not love, so it is not a time of love, for them.
But, it can be a time of love, if you speak up. And, do whatever you can to help there be a time of peace, where those who deserve being honoured, will be.
Please, do what you can.
And, join me in prayer.
If you do, God will bless you.
Until next time...

H.B. B! & Evilness...
Before I begin today's Life with Lynnie (LwL) entry, I would like to wish my daughter, B... Happy Birthday! I'm looking forward to celebrating with you. Happy Birthday!
There's something I think you should hear about, here on LwL.
To me, it's not something that is good.
Why?
Well, if you click on this link, you can read the article by foxnews.com entitled, Federal court rules World War 1 memorial cross must be torn down: http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2017/10/18/federal-court-rules-world-war-memorial-cross-must-be-torn-down.html.
Hopefully, you read the article. If you weren't able to, I shared some of what the article stated (I copied/pasted):
Back in 1925, the American Legion erected a memorial in Bladensburg, Md., to honor the memory of 49 men who perished during World War I.
The 40-foot tall memorial became known as the "Peace Cross."
It also stated (I copied/pasted):
In 2014, the American Humanist Association -- a group that believes in "being good without a god" -- filed a lawsuit alleging the cross-shaped memorial is unconstitutional and demanding it be demolished, altered, or removed.
They alleged the cross carries "an inherently religious message and creates the unmistakable appearance of honoring only Christian servicemen."
Since the entire article is important, I decided to share the rest of it with you (I copied/pasted):
On Wednesday, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals agreed and ruled the historic memorial must be torn down -- all because the Bladensburg Memorial is in the shape of a cross.
The Fourth Circuit said the memorial excessively entangles the government in religion because the cross is the “core symbol of Christianity” and “breaches” the wall separating church and state.
Writing separately, Chief Judge Gregory wrote, “This Memorial stands in witness to the VALOR, ENDURANCE, COURAGE, and DEVOTION of the forty-nine residents of Prince George’s County, Maryland ‘who lost their lives in the Great War for the liberty of the world.’ I cannot agree that a monument so conceived and dedicated and that bears such witness violates the letter or spirit of the very Constitution these heroes died to defend.”
The American Legion could appeal directly to the Supreme Court.
"Today's decision sets dangerous precedent by completely ignoring history, and it threatens removal and destruction of veterans memorials across America," First Liberty Institute attorney Hiram Sasser said.
First Liberty Institute and the Jones Day law firm are representing the American Legion in their fight.
“This memorial has stood in honor of local veterans for almost 100 years and is lawful under the First Amendment,” Jones Day attorney Michael Carvin said. “To remove it would be a tremendous dishonor to the local men who gave their lives during The Great War.”
I warned Americans in my new book, “The Deplorables’ Guide to Making America Great Again,” that the war against religious liberty and traditional American values is far from over.
A militant group of atheists, agnostics and free-thinkers want to eradicate Christianity in the public marketplace. The only way to stop this evil scourge is for people of faith to stand together and fight back in the courts.
Just so you know, it also stated (I copied/pasted):
Todd Starnes is host of Fox News & Commentary. His latest book is “The Deplorables’ Guide to Making America Great Again.” Follow him on Twitter @ToddStarnes and find him on Facebook.
Sigh...
I appreciated what the Chief Judge Gregory wrote in favour of the memorial.
However, I also agree with what the Frist Liberty Institute attorney Hiram Sasser said about how this threatens removal and destruction of veterans memorials across America. :'(
To me, what is happening is truly sad. And, heartbreaking to me.
It's truly evil. Not good.
After all, everyone who fought in World War 1, fought to help people in USA. And, veterans in other countries fought to help people in their countries. Like veterans in Canada did, where I live.
Their strength came from our Lord.
Just as we read, in Psalm 144:1, "Blessed be the Lord my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:"
Amen! Blessed be the LORD my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight.
He strengthened people, who fought for our freedom. Even those who didn't survive.
For this, we truly must be thankful.
Knowing that the militant group is fighting against honouring, please join me in prayer.
Pray, for all veterans.
And, pray that the memorials in various countries, including USA... won't be removed.
Thank you.
May God bless you.
Until next time...
