No Kings Today. Content Warning.
I was in the middle of marketing ideas when I had to write about NO KINGS DAY! I have fractures in my spine which keeps me from attending protests. I wrote because I love democracy! Some folks want to say to me "not another one." I LOVE DEMOCRACY!

Turning Tables
When the Lord puts something on my heart and tells me to share it, I listen 😉 Turning Tables Matthew 21:12-16 NIV Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. [13] “It is written,” he said to them, “ ‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’ but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’” [14] The blind and the lame came to him at the temple, and he healed them. [15] But when the chief priests and the teachers of the law saw the wonderful things he did and the children shouting in the temple courts, “Hosanna to the Son of David,” they were indignant. [16] “Do you hear what these children are saying?” they asked him. “Yes,” replied Jesus, “have you never read, “ ‘From the lips of children and infants you, Lord, have called forth your praise’?”
