Commentary

The Veil: As I said in the last article, I want to take each of the miraculous events during the crucifixion and expound on each one, because this was not just an ordinary day it was the most important day in history. This was the day that changed everything. Jesus died on the cross for you and me. There was no other way for the door to be opened for us to have a relationship with God, but by the forgiveness of our own sin, through Christ’s payment on our behalf. A day of miracles!

COMMENTS BY PRESIDENT

President Biden made this statement generally about the shooting in Tennessee. He repeatedly stated the expression “in the name of God” or “for God’s sake” and of the need for more gun laws. This killing is nothing short of terrible for these young kids and employees at work in the school, plus the families involved. Six people were killed but his comments couldn’t help but make me think of him speaking frequently against the abortion law. What about those deaths involved. Think about it and let’s save lives as best we can. He could help in that issue and not support abortions in the name of God.

WHERE ARE WE GOING

Recent polling shows that things are changing and what people consider “important.” This is led by younger Americans. Religion and the love of patriotism appear to be on the skids. This is our culture which is developing if we don’t change.

Senator Page Cortez (R-Lafayette) and other leaders expressed to the people of Louisiana, in a 2/25/21 legislative news press release, that “As leaders of the legislature, we believe it’s our responsibility to be transparent and keep you informed.” These beliefs were clearly short lived and lapsed in the 2022 session. Many reporters and editors in Louisiana’s vast press corps also seemingly failed, for unknown reasons, to discover, publish and keep We the People informed of news about a new state police force that was deceptively described as “to provide security services for the state capitol building.” https://house.louisiana.gov/H_Misc/Press_Rel/PDF/0226_21_CentralizedStat.... pdf

Ask Rusty – Widow Stung by Social Security’s “Claw Back” Rule

Dear Rusty: My husband of 48 years died on December 30th, and he received a Social Security direct deposit for December’s benefits in early January, but Social Security demanded the bank return his December payment. I used part of his December benefits to pay for household expenses, so his bank account was overdrawn after his bank paid back his Social Security for the December benefit. My questions are: 1. Is it legal for Social Security to demand a return of his benefits because he died one day prior to 1/1/2023? That just seems so wrong to me!

2. Am I legally responsible for the overdrawn amount his bank repaid to Social Security? I was not notified by Social Security or his bank before “the deed was done”.

( Newsworthy Articles and My Opinion) LEGISLATION

Some legislators are beginning to talk salary increase again. This was considered by the House and Senate members in 2008, but it raised such a stink that Bobby Jindal (then governor) literally reversed course and broke his word to lawmakers by vetoing a proposed salary hike. His commitment had been that if they passed it, he would sign it, but they heard from the voters.

Their base salary now is $16,800 per year plus they get per diem for time in Baton Rouge and other expenses. Rep. Joe Marino’s bill would boost the base pay to $60,000 beginning next term.

Matthew 27:45 “Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.”

Crucifixion was considered the most brutal and shameful death. Most of the time it was used to punish religious and political agitators, slaves, pirates, murderers. People that had no civil rights. Rome did thousands of crucifixions according to Jewish historian Josephus. 3000 Jews in 7A.D. After the rebellion of Spartacus 6000 were crucified in one day.

The darkest day in history! In the previous article we talked about a series of miracles that took place at Calvary when Jesus was crucified. All were in direct connection with His death. Nature was in sympathy with the crucifixion of the Son of God. The darkness that surrounded the cross illustrates the extent of His suffering of soul as He felt Himself regarded as sin though sinless (2 Corinthians 5:21) Jesus was bearing the sins of the whole world. The sinless substitute.

( Newsworthy Articles and My Opinion) BACKLASH

There’s a little backlash showing against pro-criminal leftists who are in office. Chicago Mayor Lon Lightfoot was definitely humiliated in the election last week when she got only l7% of the vote and didn’t even make the runoff. We had read and heard on the media about the Windy City being a place of violent mayhem. Also, in Missouri, the Attorney General actually fired the St. Louis District Attorney Kim Gardner, who clearly turned criminals loose. St. Louis has the highest murder rate in the country. Also, in Philadelphia, the District Attorney is being impeached by the state legislature in Harrisburg. He is openly defiant about his pathetic conviction rate. In New Orleans, the ninth most violent city in the world, Mayor LaToya is the target of a recall vote.

Next month (April), is Child Abuse and Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Project Celebration, Inc has a lot of things going on in April.

You will see a lot of Teal and blue around town.
