Becoming a Force to be Reckoned With: Your Journey to Making a Difference

Image
By J.E. Nickerson Hey there, friend! Have you ever wondered what it means to be "a force to be reckoned with"? It's all about being someone who stands strong in their beliefs and isn't easily swayed by others. It's about having the power to achieve your goals and make a real impact in the world. Sounds pretty awesome, right? Now, you might be thinking, "That's great, but how do I become that kind of person?" Well, here's a little secret: while hard work, education, and a great personality are all wonderful things, there's something even more powerful - God's favor in your life. Let me share a couple of fascinating examples from the Bible to illustrate this point. Remember King Saul? He was tall and handsome, but his looks didn’t make him king; it was God’s favor., David, who became king after Saul, was chosen despite being the youngest of his brothers. Samuel, the prophet, believed that the next king would be one of David’s older and more

God's Goodness: A Daily Dose of Grace

Image
  By J.E. Nickerson   God’s goodness is all around us, but we often miss it in the rush of our daily lives. From the first breath we take to the last, He’s there for us, guiding and caring. The warmth of the sun on our skin, the beauty of a sunrise, and the simple joy of a smile from a loved one are all signs of His love. Even when things get tough, God’s goodness never fades. When we’re struggling, we can find comfort in His presence, knowing that He’s working everything out for our best. His grace helps us through tough times, and His mercy fills us with peace. No matter what happens, His goodness is always there, a light in the darkest moments. As we live our lives, let’s be grateful for all the blessings God has given us. Let’s thank Him for each day and for the way He shapes our lives. By doing so, we open ourselves up to the fullness of God’s goodness and experience His love and peace in every moment.

Honoring Heroes: Celebrating Veterans Day with Stories, History, and Community Support

  By J.E. Nickerson In 1919, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed November 11th as Armistice Day, a solemn recognition of the sacrifices made by soldiers in the First World War. Celebrations included parades, public rallies, and a brief suspension from work commencing at 11:00am, the precise moment the Armistice came into effect, effectively ending the conflict with Germany. However, it was not until 1926 that the United States Congress officially recognized November 11th as Armistice Day, passing a resolution acknowledging the conclusion of World War I. Following World War II and the Korean War, veterans’ service organizations petitioned Congress to amend the Armistice Day holiday, extending its recognition to include soldiers who had fought in all conflicts. On June 1, 1954, legislation was enacted, transforming November 11th into Veterans Day, a day dedicated to honoring American veterans of all wars. This legislation also replaced the term “Armistice” with “Veterans,” symbolizing th
