• A secret underground bunker and a weapons stash with 13 firearms, body armor and 10,000 rounds of ammunition were discovered at a MAGA activist’s Shasta County home.
• Michael Kamfolt, a friend of far-right county Supervisor Kevin Crye, was arrested on suspicion of multiple felony weapons charges.

Shasta County authorities started out investigating a suspected illegal marijuana farm but ended up making a far more unsettling discovery: a massive stash of illegal firearms and a secret underground bunker at the base of a 100-foot tunnel on a MAGA activist’s property.

Michael Jay Kamfolt, 40, was arrested Jan. 20 after members of the California Highway Patrol discovered the bunker and confiscated an array of illegally possessed weapons — including three AR-15-style assault rifles, a sawed-off shotgun and more than 10,000 rounds of ammunition — while serving a search warrant at his Anderson home.

Two of the guns were reported stolen, one in 2016 and the other in 1978, according to the CHP.

Kamfolt was arrested on suspicion of an array of misdemeanor and felony weapons-related violations. They include converting a firearm into a machine gun, manufacturing a ghost gun, possession of a stolen firearm and possession of armor penetrating ammunition.

[The bunker was] equipped with all the supplies necessary to cultivate marijuana including power, ventilation and a concrete floor with built-in drainage.

Kamfolt is a well-known conservative activist who had shown up at protests and county Board of Supervisors meetings and had repeatedly raised concerns about voting fraud, according to reports from the Shasta Scout. Shasta County has become a hotbed for hard-right governance and election denialism in the Trump era of American politics, and a staunchly conservative majority took control of the county board in 2022.

[Shasta and Supervisor Crye showed up a few times in the 'rise of menace' thread.]

This is a bit of an urgent post so please bear with me if it's a bit rush. My family just received word today that my grandfather is in the hospital. His heart is being attacked by several blood clots and he's in an incredible amount of pain. There is a good chance the doctors are looking to amputate his leg if things continue. Please keep him in your prayers. Thank you.

Shalom

...seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well, says the Lord Jesus in Matthew 6:33.

Could you please pray for me that I may clearly recognize and understand what the kingdom of God and his righteousness are in Jesus name?
May the Lord bless you abundantly (Lk 6:38; Job 42,10) in Jesus name Amen.

Glory to God alone.

Question: I.C.E. is active in numbers of states in force. Why is this extreme reaction happening ONLY in MN where the Governor is under investigation for fraud?

Coincidence?

Sure has taken the press and light off of that - hasn't it?

How would God advise a believer being married to narcissistic spouse? To stay and wait on God’s deliverance or leave narcissistic spouse?

While immigration officers support the Trump administration’s goal of deporting undocumented migrants, many of them have grown ‘disillusioned’ with leadership’s tactics, according to report

Morale is “plummeting” among federal law enforcement officers tasked with carrying out the Trump administration’s aggressive anti-immigration operation, as they complained that long hours, ambitious arrest quotas and hatred from the public, according to reports.

While officers at Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Patrol, overseen by the Department of Homeland Security, said they supported the administration’s goal of deporting undocumented migrants, many of them have grown “disillusioned” with the tactics being implemented by leadership.

More than 20 current and former immigration officials told The New York Times of their discontent in the hours following the fatal shooting of 37-year-old nurse Alex Pretti by a federal agent in Minneapolis.

It was the second deadly shooting of a U.S. citizen carried out by a federal agent in weeks, as officers clashed with protesters following intense public anger over the violence in Minneapolis.

So, what is the armor of God? And how do we take up the full armor of God? Well, it isn’t some kind of religious ritual we go through. And it isn’t just in the words that we speak. And it isn’t reciting the written words in some kind of ritualistic religious exercise. But it is done in every day practical living, i.e. in putting the word of the Lord into practice in our daily lives. So, it is all that God has provided for us to live holy lives, pleasing to the Lord, in service to our Lord, and in spiritual warfare against our enemy, the devil.

For what are the devil’s schemes against us? His main goal is to get us to distrust God and his word and to believe the lies being spoken in the name of Christ and in the name of the gospel. He wants us to believe that faith in Jesus Christ requires nothing of us other than a verbal profession of faith in Christ and an acknowledgement of belief in Jesus’ bodily resurrection. He wants us believing that we are not required of God to die with Christ to sin and to walk with God in obedience to his commands, by the Spirit.

But Jesus Christ taught that to come to him we must deny self, take up our cross daily (die daily to sin), and follow (obey) him. For if we hold on to living in sin and for self, we will lose our lives for eternity. But if we deny self, die daily to sin, by the Spirit, and we walk in obedience to our Lord and to his commands, in his power, then we have eternal life with God. For not everyone who calls him “Lord” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one DOING (obeying) the will of God (see Luke 9:23-26; Matthew 7:21-23).

For by God-gifted faith in Jesus Christ, which is not of our own doing, we are crucified with Christ in death to sin and raised with Christ to walk in newness of life in him, no longer to live as slaves to sin but as slaves to righteousness in walks of obedience to God’s commands. We are no longer to permit sin to reign in our mortal bodies to make us obey its desires. For if sin is what we obey, it results in death. But if obedience to God is what we obey, it results in sanctification, and its end is eternal life with God (see Romans 6:1-23).

So, we must cling to the truth of God’s word, and we must refute the lies of the enemy coming from the mouths of some pastors and book authors and famous people and evangelists and actors and government heads. For so many people today are teaching a half-truth (false) gospel created in the minds of human flesh via removing Scriptures from their appropriate context and twisting them to say what they do not say if taught in the correct biblical context. And many people are following the lies all the way to hell.

So, if we are putting on the armor of God daily so that we can fight against the schemes of the devil, then we need to be students of the Scriptures, taught in the correct biblical context, who are putting them into practice in our every day lives. We must be those who have, by faith in Jesus, died to sin and who are now walking in obedience to our Lord’s commands, all in the power of God, and not in human flesh. And we must be those who are sharing the truth of the gospel with others for their salvation from sin.

And we must be living righteously, in surrender of our will to the will of God for our lives, no longer living as slaves to sin but as servants of our Lord Jesus Christ. Our faith in Jesus Christ must be biblical faith which is of God and which convinces us of our sinfulness and of our need to die to sin and to obey our Lord and his commands. And we must stand strong in our faith and on what the Word of God teaches, in context, so that we can refute the lies of the enemy and share with the people the truth from God’s holy word.

The Full Armor of God
An Original Work / January 27, 2026
Christ’s Free Servant, Sue J Love

David C. Pack asks; "Were the 10 Cs "Done away"? ... And nothing ever; on 2 Cor 3:7? P2.


We saw; David declares, Christ did not do away with them at crucifixion.
We do not see; all 10 taught in the N.T.


God expects all people to obey them?; and nothing on Col 2:16-17; 2 Cor 3:7.


"Malachi 3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed."
Yet the laws do change; as David will not point out.
Hebrews 7:12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.


No mention of reiterations in the N.T.


A big speal about how most Christians pick and choose what to follow about God's word; and no mention about the law of Christ; Gal 6: 2.
"This picking and choosing; is most obvious in the Sabbath command. And the 4th command IS in the N.T."
No immediate mention of Col 2:16-17; and does conveniently mention Heb 4:9.
And no mention of a direct Sabbath statement as Lev 23:11.


If Heb 4:9 is my Sabbath command; then why is my only option for Sabbath; an "Ellen" church?


Jesus is Lord of Sabbath; Mark 2:27-28;
And not Sunday; as David points out? And nothing about John 20:26.


"N.T. grace has nothing to do with abolishing God's laws."
2 Corinthians 3:13 And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:
And no explanation on Gal 6:2; the law of Christ.


Does the "Ministration of death"; mean the 10 Cs? David it seems; won't go there; ... Much less to explain that 2 Cor 3:7; means the 10cs is ABOLISHED.


What is meant by Gal 6:2? David will not go there.


Revelation 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
DOES NOT MEAN; THOSE WHO THINK THEY KEEP SABBATH!


The 10 Cs; are not ordained from the time of creation.


No explanation on Colossians 2:16-17?

PARASHA: “BO” (enter) EXODUS 10:1-13:16

The Parasha starts out, “And the LORD said unto Moshe, ‘Go in unto Pharaoh’…” Strange, the word “Go” in Hebrew is “Sh’lach”, but the Hebrew scriptures read “Bo” (enter), so, in reality, the Word of God is saying, “Enter, or Come in unto Pharaoh” But why? One way of looking at this is that Adonai is already there in the palace of Pharaoh, and HE is inviting Moses to come where He is to do business with Pharaoh! And what a business deal! Let’s make him an offer he can’t refuse! Freedom for Israel…or the plagues continue! So, it is “God against Pharaoh and his gods.” Guess who wins? Pharaoh's biggest concern and worry was losing his free workforce. Once the Israelites are gone, who would do the heavy labor?

The plagues against the Egyptian gods continue; it is our “Creator God YHVH” against Pharaoh and his false deities. Guess who is winning, yes, you know it. However, I need to point out that many of us peg Pharaoh and the Egyptians as the “bad guys” and the Israelites as the “good guys”. But we need to take note of something that many believers have in common with Pharaoh. After the plague of locusts, Pharaoh said;

“I have sinned against the LORD your God, (notice that he said “YOUR” ) and against you. Now therefore, forgive I pray thee my sin only this once and entreat the LORD your God that he may take away this death only”(Ex 10:17), and even before that, Pharaoh spoke, saying;
“I have sinned this time, the LORD is righteous, and I and my people are wicked, entreat the LORD that there be no more mighty thunderings and hail, and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer (EX 9:27,28)

All of these plagues were directed against the false gods of Egypt. The Nile had a goddess (Anuket), and the cattle god was “Apis” in the form of a bull. The sun-god “Ra” was directly attacked by the plague of darkness; In chap 10, 22-23, Moshe speaks of a “darkness which could be felt” per instructions of YHVH, Moshe stretched out his hand towards the heavens, and “darkness” descended over Egypt. We ask ourselves, “How can a person ‘feel’ darkness, it isn’t ‘physical’ yet it could be felt by the Egyptians.

I would think that the “darkness” that the Egyptians felt was more spiritual and emotional than physical. It was a darkness so “thick” that one person could not see another. Perhaps a sort of supernatural darkness came from YHVH, perhaps a “moist and humid” darkness (perhaps a dense fog) so that when the Egyptians went to light their lamps, they would not light.

I experienced such darkness when I was living in Mexico in 1973. A “campesino” showed me a cave that was in the middle of a forest. No one could find the exit, for it extended for miles. “Cuidado” (careful, he told me) “People have gone crazy inside there.” Well, I just had to go in to find out myself. After going in about thirty-feet, the cave turned to the right. I went to the right about 10 feet and all of a sudden, there was pitch darkness, so dark that I could not see my hand in front of my face. I felt instant fear, so much that I turned and left the way I came in. As soon as I saw the light of the outside, I breathed a sigh of relief. I did not go back inside. (Well, that day I did not have a lantern with me, nor a flashlight).

Perhaps the darkness which was felt was that of “fear”. There is a spiritual darkness in which many people dwell, without the light of the Torah, of Yeshua. We live in darkness, yet the scripture tells us that in the dwellings of the Israelites, there was light. Their lamps were lit, and they could see each other. The three days of darkness were like three regular evenings for the Israelites; they had lights, and they had the light of YHVH, the promise of redemption, the coming of the first Passover, and freedom was just around the corner, just a few days ahead.

Pharaoh seems to be repentant, yet it is just “lip service” from “tooth to lip”; he continues to rebel against YHVH and refuses to let Israel go. How many believers claim to love God and admit that they are sinners and wicked, and we all are because of our “yetzer hara” (evil inclination) or in simple words, “sin nature” yet we ignore the Torah, we disobey HIS commandments…or…we promise that we will obey, yet we go back on our promise. I think this is true for ALL of us from time to time, for some more often than others.

Even the Israelites, once they got out of Egypt, began to complain, and gripe, grumble, groan, and break G-d’s commandment, making an idol calf of gold. Are we any better? Do we not grumble and complain too? For this and for that? We break YHVH’s commandments, and we say, “sorry” and seem repentant, but continue in the same sins. I think we are like Pharaoh as much as like the Israelites.

Sometimes, we want to compromise, not follow ALL of Adonai’s instructions, perhaps not follow the whole Torah. Adonai’s instructions to Moshe, as he revealed to Pharaoh, were to leave Egypt, the whole people, with all their properties (herds and flocks) go to the wilderness, and sacrifice to the LORD, yet Pharaoh said he would comply…but…not all the way;

“Go sacrifice to your God in the land” (just stay in Egypt) “go to the wilderness, but not so far away.”(yes, so we can keep an eye on you so that you don’t run away!) “Go serve the LORD, the men only” (yet Adonai wants “all the people”) “go serve the LORD, but your herds and flocks stay here” (so, how are they going to sacrifice without the flocks and the herds?)

Do we follow wholeheartedly? Or do we pick and choose? Do we follow Torah only when convenient? Or parts that won’t interrupt our lifestyles? Do we follow some commandments and not follow others, saying “these aren’t for us, only for Israel” if we are picking and choosing, then we are like Pharaoh, trying to “bargain” or make “Compromise” with the LORD through his chosen servant?

I would like to add this detail also. It is about “HaMateh” (The Staff), this is the staff or the rod of Moshe and Aaron, the one that was used to bring about the plagues. It is very interesting and how it relates to the power of Elohim through Moshe. The word “Mateh” in Hebrew has two meanings. One is “Rod” or “Staff,” and it represents the power and authority of the holder of the same. It also means “Tribe” and in plural, “Matot” (Tribes).

When Moshe was still before YHVH at Har Sinai, He told Moshe to use the “Mateh” to show the people HIS power. The power of Elohim-YHVH through Moshe. Moshe would be as “Elohim” before Pharaoh. The rod would be the symbol of authority, as it also represents the “Tribe” of “Kol Israel” of “All Israel” united as One Tribe. “Mateh Echad”.

If we look at the staff of Moshe through spiritual eyes, just imagine the name YHVH carved into this staff or rod of judgment. We look at the value of the letters Y H, V H. The first two letters, “Yod and Hey” 10 and 5. Those two letters form the shorter form of the name of God; “YaH”. The letter “Yod” = 10. It can symbolize the “10” plagues that were to befall Egypt, by the “Arm” (Yod) of Elohim. The hand is part of the arm, remember that.

Then we see the letter “Hey” that has the value of “5”. We can sum up the promises of YHVH as the following; 1) Elohim will deliver Israel out from under the burden of Egyptian Slavery; 2) Israel will be REDEEMED by the ARM of Elohim-YHVH; 3) Elohim-YHVH will Israel as HIS people and will be their GOD; 4) Israel will be brought into the chosen land of promise; 5) The promised land will be an INHERETANCE.

After the 10 plagues, the 5 basic promises were fulfilled. The redemption was fulfilled when the lambs and goats were slaughtered and sacrificed in the Israelite homes on the Eve of Pesach. So that gives us Y and H in the infallible name of God.

But we still have Vav (V) and Hey (H). We know that the “Hey” covers the promises, but the “Vav” is the key letter that points us to Calvary’s Cross! The “Vav” is the nail that was driven into the hands of Mashiach; this would “really” fulfill the promise of redemption. The redemption was symbolized by the animal sacrifices until Yeshua came and fulfilled it in “Full”. The “Vav” has the value of “6”, which is the number of “Man”. So, Elohim became a man to receive the nail in his hands to make full the promise of redemption, which was part of the promises. The first story of Israel’s redemption by blood is in chapter 12. This can be the most important chapter of Exodus because it is “Pesach Time.” (Passover)
” This month shall be your beginning of months for you, it shall be the first month of the year for you.”

This can't be any clearer in my observation; it isn't January 1st, it is the first of Nissan, and since the lunar calendar changes from year to year, our “New Year's Day” (the real one) comes on March 18th, 2026 (New Year's Eve).

” On the tenth of this month, everyone shall take a lamb.... a lamb for each household” ......

This lamb was to be a young, healthy lamb, and it would be kept for 5 days. On the 14th day, it would be slaughtered, and as we know, the blood would be placed on the two side posts of the door of the house entrance and along the top frame. As the story goes on, the death angel would come and see the blood and thus “pass over” that house that had the blood on the doorposts.

If you imagine that, the blood on the door posts...forms sort of a “cross” you can imagine Yeshua with his arms and hands extended, each one touch one of the “door posts” and his head against the “top part” where the blood from his head would be (where the Roman soldiers pushed in the crown of thorns) and where the nails were hammered (in the wrists) between the two small bones that form the arm (remember that not one bone was broken), so it had to between the bones, through the muscle.

The lamb or goat was to be eaten roasted, with bitter herbs and unleavened bread. The other elements were added later and were present when Yeshua celebrated the Pesach Supper with his talmidim. The roasted lamb or goat symbolizes “Yeshua being “roasted” in the “fires of judgment for our sins. He took upon himself ALL of our sins, past, present, and future. They were all “nailed” to the cross and judged by the Father. The “bitter herbs” symbolize the bitterness of slavery, the slavery to sin, and having a master, “HaSatan,” as our taskmaster. The unleavened bread symbolizes “Yeshua The Bread of Life” bread without leaven can be considered “perfect, sinless bread, therefore calling Yeshua who is without sin, “The Bread of Life”, and when we eat the “bread without leaven” (Matzah) we are symbolizing “taking into us Yeshua” and when we eat only unleavened bread for 7 days afterwards, we are being conscience of “sin in our lives” (avoiding it) being reminded by the matzah.

At the first Passover, wine wasn't mentioned, nor does it mention “Charoseth” (sweet mixture of nuts, apples, honey, cinnamon, etc.). They may have had wine, or water, or another drink, but no one knows for sure, nor do we know what kind of “bitter herbs” were used, today we use horseradish. Back then, it had to be something common in Egypt.

The death angel visited the houses where no blood was found, so probably all the houses of the Egyptians lacked the blood, but perhaps there were a few houses that had members who paid attention to Moshe, and they might have gone to the Israelites and put blood on their doors.
We are talking about a “substitution sacrifice”; the “lambs and goats” were substituted for the Israelites' firstborn. And any Egyptian household that also placed the blood on their doors (those who believed). We can see in scripture where a “substitute” was used. When Abraham was asked to sacrifice Isaac, God provided a “ram” as a substitute for Isaac, On Yom Kippur, two goats are used as “substitutes” for all of the people of Israel, and finally, “Yeshua Ha Mashiach” (Jesus the Messiah/Christ) was “OUR” substitute on the cross, HE exchanged his “Righteousness for our sinfulness” instead of us being punished for our sins, Yeshua accepted the punishment in our place.

All that remains for us is to accept his “one-time only” sacrifice and receive and accept HIM as our LORD and SAVIOR, and thus be “born again” according to John 3:3. Have you done this? If you were to die today, are you sure that Yeshua is your LORD and Savior? Will HE let you into his Kingdom? Only you can answer that question.

What should it look like if we are “strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might”? It doesn’t mean being purposefully obnoxious with the full intent to hurt others. It doesn’t mean we go around yelling and screaming at everyone in a rant. Strength is not about being a bully. For when I am weak, then am I strong in the strength of the Lord. It does mean being determined to hold to the truth of the Scriptures, and to not compromise with the world, and to speak the truth as Jesus spoke it, and to live what we say we believe.

It means we do not give the devil a foothold in our lives, and we are not chameleons who blend in with our environment in order to be liked by other humans. We are not double-minded people who sway back and forth, as on a teeter-totter, who go with the crowd so that others will not think that we are weird. And it has nothing to do with how many Scripture verses we have memorized or how scholarly we are in biblical Greek or how good we are at public speaking. It has everything to do with being led of the Holy Spirit.

For if we are strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might, it has everything to do with the Lord and not with us or our opinions. We can only be strong, as this talks about, as our lives are surrendered to the Lord to do his will, in submission to his Lordship over our lives, in walks of obedience to his commands, as empowered by God and not by human flesh. But it does have to do with us being consistent and trustworthy and steadfast and immovable with regard to holding to the truths of God’s word, by his grace.

For we can only stand against the schemes of the devil if we are following the ways of our Lord and we are doing as our Lord commands, in practice. We can only stand against the devil’s schemes if we are willing to be hated, rejected, mocked, slandered, and cast aside as unwanted for standing on the truth of God’s word, even at the hands of the scholarly and the educated who have credentials and thus deem themselves superior to us who are lacking in fleshly credentials. We cannot be intimidated by them at all.

I am certain there are all kinds of scholarly people out there bearing their credentials who have a whole lot of head knowledge but their lives are not surrendered to Jesus Christ to doing his will, but they are busy performing before other humans in order to be accepted by them. And so they are not strong in the strength of the Lord, and they are not able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil, for their trust is in the flesh and not in the Lord. And so many are following marketing schemes instead of God’s plans.

So, just saying that worldly credentials do not necessarily equal godly lives committed to the will of God and to the truth of the Scriptures. So, just because someone goes by a title, it does not mean that person even knows the Lord intimately. What God is looking for is those who will humble themselves before the Lord, in submission to him as Lord, who are willing to forfeit the things of this world in order to serve the Lord with their lives in being his witnesses and in sharing the gospel truth without compromise.

For Jesus Christ taught that to come to him we must deny self, take up our cross daily (die daily to sin), and follow (obey) him. For if we hold on to living in sin and for self, we will lose our lives for eternity. But if we deny self, die daily to sin, by the Spirit, and we walk in obedience to our Lord and to his commands, in his power, then we have eternal life with God. For not everyone who calls him “Lord” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one DOING (obeying) the will of God (see Luke 9:23-26; Matthew 7:21-23).

[Matthew 7:13-14,21-23; Luke 9:23-26; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; Galatians 5:16-24; Ephesians 2:8-10; Ephesians 4:17-32; Ephesians 5:3-6; Titus 2:11-14; 1 John 1:1-10; 1 John 2:1-6; 1 John 3:4-10; Acts 26:18]

Hey guys. Nice to be on this Christian forums. I am a Christian from India. 22 years old. I started believing in 2020. I haven't been able to find a church here. I'm excited to be connected to the body of Christ through this forum. Praise be to God.

My cousin, who is nearly 90, (I'm in my seventies) has Alzheimers. I've given the basics of the gospel to her and her son, who was there at the time. When I mentioned judgement she said that she wasn't worried about it as she didnt believe in it, to which I replied that that didn't alter the reality of it. Later conversations became a bit confused so I've realised that I need to keep things very simple and straightforward.

Does anyone else have any experience of witnessing to someone with Alzheimers and/or memory loss? Of so, how did you handle it?

Video of peaceful Minneapolis protesters from last night:

Mayor Frey has made the decision that visiting law enforcement will not get the same police protection as everyone else.

In the aftermath of last Sunday's storming of Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, a nonpartisan civil liberties group says that the First Amendment does not protect protesters who interrupt church services, refuting claims made by political commentator Don Lemon.

In a post written by one of its board members, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, which specializes in First Amendment cases and represents clients from a wide range of backgrounds and political beliefs, stressed that houses of worship are not public forums and that entering a church to disrupt a service is not a protected form of protest.

I met a girl from the Philippines online a while back. We have been talking for about a month and a half, and have been getting along well. But we aren't engaged, and have never even talked about getting married. We haven't even met in person.

But the other day she told me that her niece is being christened, and said she could make me a Godfather if I wanted. I wasn't sure what to say, so I just kind of expressed my doubts that it would be possible since I'm a protestant and didn't say much more about it. Today she told me that the date for the christening had been changed to tomorrow, and that she had signed me up as a Godfather.

I'm not sure what to do. I never met the baby or the parents. I never agreed to being a Godfather, she just put me on a list. Can you do that?

Anyway, what should I do? Should I protest and ask to be removed from the list? Should I say nothing and not worry about it since I never agreed to anything anyway? I don't mind praying now and then for a child I never met, or even sending her a Christmas present, but I don't want to commit to being a mentor or a second father for someone's child that I don't even know and may never meet. In my church we usually don't have godparents, so I don't know the full implications.

Family and friends of retired New York Police Department Sergeant Roger McGovern are in mourning after he died Sunday while shoveling snow at the Our Lady of Victory church in Floral Park, New York, where he served as an usher. He was 60.

Our Lady of Victory Church could not immediately provide details on McGovern’s passing when contacted by The Christian Post on Monday, but a News 12 report citing the NYPD said he died while shoveling snow at the church.

In a public statement on Facebook, however, McGovern’s cousin, Brendan McGovern, said he suffered a heart attack on his way to shovel snow.

I am furious!!
My aunty ( who raised me) and who is 80 years old reprimanded me on the phone for being confidant about my appearance!
She is of the old school where women feel the need to shrink in order to be acceptable.

What I am more furious about is that I rely on her for chats at midnight.( She lives abroad.)
Without her I am even more isolated than I already am and lack good connections.

My pastor has said to me that old people like her are obstinate and think they know it all.
I need to find a way to have enough connection in my life so I dont need to speak to her.
She invariably invalidates me and then I have nowhere to process this frustration.

I am sure she doesn't do this with her own children.
Why us it that when someone is kind, open and empathic people think they can take liberties and thrust their ( outdated) opinions down other peoples throats?

I dare not confront her on this because she is so stubborn and hard headed she will just escalate it.
A common tactic she uses is to raise her voice when things are not to her liking.

Honestly I am more angry with myself than her for continually subjecting myself to her rude, dismissive behaviour.

I'd you want to pray, feel free.I would prefer your insights more though.
Why are mother daughter relationships so often so fraught?
It is pure vexation!

So my brother in law has a mother named Debbie. When he married my older sister, she became part of our family through his marriage.

Unfortunately, she has Narcissistic Personality Disorder. She is not a very good person at all and I will tell you why.

You see, when my brother in law was a kid, his mother and his father were both drug addicts and they sold illegal drugs on the street. They even tried to get him to do it, but he was just a kid! He was raised in a bad household where his parents neglected him and told him that his birth "was a mistake." What a thing to say to a child! How dare they be so unloving!

So he had a bad childhood. His mother never cooked anything for him, he had to fend for himself and make his own meals. You might say he grew up really fast.

About Debbie: She had been taking illegal drugs for so many years (which just fueled her drug addiction like fire and she refused to go to rehab) that unfortunately it caught up with her. She finally became paralyzed on the left side of her body and had to be admitted to the hospital. That was several years ago. She is living with a caretaker nowadays. But her drug addiction fried her brain (ouch!) and that is how she got her personality disorder. Today she is both a cruel and very selfish person, who always talks about "how great she is" and puts her son down all the time. It's quite toxic.

This is why she so desperately needs salvation. She has lived like the Devil her whole life, and now I am seeking God to bring her into his light and clean up her ways.

I don't talk or interact with my mother in law, I've actually never even met her. But from what my brother-in-law tells us about his mother and his upbringing, I can see she is not a good person and she did not raise him with love and care, like I feel every mother should do with their children...

It makes me sad hearing stories like this, that kids were raised by parents who didn't love them or abused them in some way. I had the exact opposite childhood that my brother in law did: it was a very good childhood. I had loving parents and a lot of playtime. I have fond memories of my childhood. It was great. And now I am just sad that he didn't have the same happy experience I had growing up. Why is the world so unfair like that?

A mixture of both good and bad? Depending on how you define "good" and "bad" that is.

I like to think that we all have some good in us, just in different amounts. I also like to think we have bad in us as well, or the ability to do things that are wrong. Something people call a "dark side."

Everyone has done at least 1 thing wrong in their lifetime.

People are like the color grey. We can do sin (like the Devil), and we can do righteousness (like Jesus). We have the ability to do both good and evil. But Jesus has to save us and make us be 100% good like he is with no bad nature at all. He will completely erase our dark sides and make us like the angels in Heaven.

That concept thrills me. The concept of being a totally good and moral person. I would love to be holy and 100% good like God is, but right now I still have my sin nature...

One day God will completely take away my sin. I am looking forward to it.

Please pray that God will allow me to have good health today, less anxiety and safe blood pressure. Also please pray that if it is God's will my son Jakeb will be happy and healthy and God will allow me to hear him laugh or see him smile. Today is my birthday and I thank God for allowing me to be with my family for so many years. Please dear God allow me good health today and to please keep my blood pressure down now and through my doctor appointment and please allow us to keep power to keep us warm. Dear God thank you for Your great mercy and allowing us to be warm. Thank You Dear God for hearing my prayers and answering so many. I ask in the name of Jesus. I love You Dear God and I love You Dear Jesus. In Jesus name I pray. Amen. God bless you for praying for us so often. Carmen
