'We Sensed the Hand of God':
God Protected These Christians from Iran's Missiles
|
|
When Iran began firing missiles at Israel three weeks ago in response to military action against its regime, some Christian tourists unexpectedly found themselves in harm's way. They made it home safely, and one member of the group then found herself in the midst of another harrowing experience – a campus shooting. Pastor Gabe Turner, who leads Charlottesville, Virginia's The Point Church was preaching to nearly 60 American Christians atop the beautiful Mount of Olives. He told CBN News he's done it many times before, as he leads a group to the Holy Land every two or three years. However, unlike previous trips, sirens began blaring, indicating a possible Iranian missile attack. "None of us had ever been in any experience like that before," he said, "but we could just sense the hand of God and the peace of God in such a supernatural way."
Their Israeli tour guide, Ofer Ashkenazi, told CBN News he's responsible for the safety of the group and had to take quick action. "The first thing we did, actually, was to take them into a shelter, which, sadly enough, happily enough, it's the bathroom over there," he said. "So we all went down underground into the bathroom." Shortly afterwards, they carefully made it back to their hotel bomb shelter. Lydia Wilson, a college student who was part of the Christian group from Virginia, told CBN News that despite the danger, they felt the presence of God.
"We were constantly in prayer. And then I know we had people from back home, our church family, they were all praying for us as well. And we felt that. We felt the prayers," she said. "And I can't speak for everyone, but I just kind of had an overwhelming sense of peace. I didn't think that I was, obviously, we were in the middle of everything. We were in danger, but I didn't necessarily feel like I was, if that makes sense." Throughout their ordeal, the group would eventually seek shelter a total of 24 times.

Trump orders War Dept to postpone strikes on Iranian energy sites, citing 'productive' talks to end war
|
|
|
Trump announces progress toward 'resolution' with Iran, pauses energy strikes for 5 days
|
|
|
President Donald Trump, in an all-caps post early Monday morning, declared progress toward "resolution" of the war with Iran.
"I AM PLEASED TO REPORT THAT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND THE COUNTRY OF IRAN, HAVE HAD, OVER THE LAST TWO DAYS, VERY GOOD AND PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS REGARDING A COMPLETE AND TOTAL RESOLUTION OF OUR HOSTILITIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
"BASED ON THE TENOR AND TONE OF THESE IN DEPTH, DETAILED, AND CONSTRUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS, WHICH WILL CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE WEEK, I HAVE INSTRUCTED THE DEPARTMENT OF WAR TO POSTPONE ANY AND ALL MILITARY STRIKES AGAINST IRANIAN POWER PLANTS AND ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE FOR A FIVE DAY PERIOD, SUBJECT TO THE SUCCESS OF THE ONGOING MEETINGS AND DISCUSSIONS."
FOX Business' Maria Bartiromo spoke with Trump shortly after the post, and Trump stressed, "Iran wants to make a deal badly."
Trump's move followed a threat by Iran to attack Israel's power plants and those supplying U.S. bases across the Gulf region if the U.S. targets Iran's power network.
The post led to an immediate reaction in the oil futures market globally.
Iranian state television is denying that any negotiations are underway, but Trump rejected that reporting to Bartiromo, saying peace envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner had spoken with their counterparts Sunday night.
The United Arab Emirates reported its air defenses were attempting to intercept new incoming Iranian fire Monday afternoon.
Prior to Trump’s announcement, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi acknowledged talking by phone with his Turkish counterpart, Hakan Fidan. Turkey has been an intermediary before in negotiations between Tehran and Washington. (Fox News) Read more here

Lord God, we thank you for this incredible win by our president and our country! We continue to pray for wisdom for President Trump, that Iran would continue to negotiate with our nation, and for peace throughout the Middle East in Jesus name, amen.

Iran holds world energy hostage with 'nightmare' Strait of Hormuz sea mines, former CENTCOM official warns
|
|
|
Col. Joe Buccino says Iran is exploiting a critical U.S. naval gap to wage 'psychological'
|
|
|
A former U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) official said Iran is holding the world’s energy supply hostage using "World War I-style" tactics.
Iran has responded to U.S. and Israeli strikes by halting shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital artery for global oil. The regime is using sea mines, which it has reportedly stockpiled by the thousands, to make traversing the strait difficult and deadly.
"This is a nightmare more than 30 years in the making," former CENTCOM Communications Director Col. Joe Buccino (Ret.) said Saturday on "Fox & Friends Weekend."
"What you just indicated there on your wall is a World War I-style of combat that Iran is waging," he added.
The mines can detonate either on the surface of the water or below, with an explosion that would likely tear a hole through a ship’s hull, potentially sinking or disabling it. Buccino said that while the United States possesses superior high-end technology, the mines are an effective threat.
"These mines are a tool of really psychological warfare. We don't know how many are out there. We don't know where they are. And that creates fear and shuts down flow through the Strait of Hormuz," he said.
Buccino said the mines are becoming a difficult problem, because the U.S. Navy has "decommissioned" most of its mine-clearing ships. He warned that Iran is likely aware of this and is "exploiting a gap" in U.S. naval assets. (Fox News) Read more here.

We pray the blood of Jesus over this situation that it is resolved and that peace would prevail in Jesus' name. We pray safety over everyone involved that no harm or evil prevail against our land. We pray for strategic plans to get oil here for our citizens and for prices to go down. Amen.
“…stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.”

Iran using ‘satellite-like’ launches to double missile range, ex-IDF air defense chief warns
|
|
Iran’s launch of a ballistic missile over a distance of around 4,000 km., shattering the 2,000 km. range that much of the world hoped it would stay under, likely involved a two-stage satellite-like launch process, former IDF air defense chief Brig.-Gen. Ran Kochav told The Jerusalem Post on Sunday.
Kochav said that the launch had “doubled the demonstrated capability overnight” of what Iran could do when it targeted the joint UK-US base at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean.
Echoing IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir’s statement on Saturday night that the additional distance probably stemmed from a launch vehicle that used multiple stages, Kochav noted that Iran has been working on such two-stage launch technologies for years to try to launch satellites into space.
Both Israel and the US have warned that Iranian satellite tests could turn out to have dual-use elements, leading to intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), both conventional and nuclear. While the Islamic Republic has long denied this possibility, Saturday’s launch has likely exposed a clandestine program it has operated for years for precisely such purposes.
Discussing different scenarios, Kochav, who was later also the IDF’s chief spokesman, said that it was possible that the kind of missile used might be a modified USSR-era R-27 ballistic missile. The R-27 was mainly fired by the USSR from submarines and potentially had nuclear capabilities, but Iran could have modified it to launch from a land-based platform. (Jerusalem Post) Read more here.

Iran threatens mass ‘water war’ with strikes on key plants in days, UN official warns
|
|
|
Kaveh Madani says knock-on effects on the world's economy will be 'both immediate and lasting' if conflict escalates further
|
|
|
Iran is poised to strike critical desalination infrastructure across the Middle East within days, escalating tensions with the U.S. and Israel and triggering global economic fallout, a U.N. official warned Sunday.
Kaveh Madani, an Iranian scientist and U.N. official, said desalination plants across the region could be hit "within the next few days," raising the prospect of a broader regional water crisis and affecting global markets.
The strike threats made by the regime on Sunday came in response to President Donald Trump's warning that the U.S. would hit Iranian power infrastructure unless the Strait of Hormuz was opened within 48 hours.
A spokesperson for the Central Headquarters of Hazrat Khatam al-Anbiya (PBUH) said, "Following previous warnings, if Iran’s fuel and energy infrastructure is attacked by the enemy, all energy, information technology, and desalination infrastructure belonging to the US and the regime in the region will be targeted."
"The desalination plants might be targeted again within the next few days," Madani told Fox News Digital.
"The driest region of the world might see a real water war, but the knock-on effects on the world’s economy, including the U.S., will be both immediate and lasting," Madani said, pointing to what he described as a "new phase in the conflict" involving such critical civilian infrastructure.
"Now, add the possibility of damage to the already fragile water infrastructure, including treatment plants, pumping stations, and distribution networks," he said. "The consequences would be catastrophic and lasting." (Fox News) Read more here.

We know Lord that Iran's overall plan is to destroy us economically and so we come against those plans right now in Jesus' name. We plead the blood of Jesus over our economy and all of the businesses that help keep this country running, that You would strengthen them and make them stronger now more than ever. We speak a blessing over our nation, that we will continue to be a country leading in innovative and creative ways to remain prosperous. In Your name, Lord, we offer this prayer, amen.
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11)

Two Pilots Dead, 41 Hospitalized After Air Canada Flight Collides with Fire Truck at LaGuardia Airport
|
|
Two pilots were killed in the incident and 41 others sent to hospital in the horrific crash that obliterated the front of the Bombardier CRJ-900 jet and forced the major travel hub to close for most of Monday, the NY Post reports.
The pilot and co-pilot died in their seats in the mangled front of the aircraft, sources told the Post, with many of the 72 passengers and four crew members on the landing jet also injured.
The collision reportedly occurred around 11:38 p.m. ET, a spokesperson for the New York City Fire Department confirmed, per CNN.The plane was Air Canada flight 8646, operated by regional carrier Jazz, according to the flight tracking site FlightRadar24. The CRJ-900 aircraft, currently manufactured by Mitsubishi, seats about 76 passengers. The flight took off from Montreal Trudeau International Airport shortly after 10:30 p.m. ET and landed at LaGuardia about one hour later, according to FlightRadar24.
Audio recordings from the incident featured air traffic control granting permission to the Port Authority truck to cross a runway just moments before urging the truck to stop as the collision occurs.
“JAZZ 646, I see you collided with the vehicle. Just hold position. I know you can’t move. Vehicles are responding to you now,” an air traffic controller is heard saying. (Breitbart) Read more here

2. Mossad is calling senior Iranian commanders and pressuring them to stand aside
- JNS
“Hello, how are you? Is this Commander Fathi Zadeh?” the Israeli Mossad agent asks at the start of the phone call.
“Who are you? Hello?” the senior Iranian police officer responds.
“Are you listening?” the Israeli intelligence agent continues in Farsi. “We know everything about you, you are on our blacklist, and we have all the information about you.”
“OK,” the Iranian officer, identified as Mohsen Fathi Zadeh, head of the Protection and Intelligence Organization of the Law Enforcement Forces (LEF) of Iran, replies in the recording.
The Israeli agent continues: “Your daughter’s name is Zahara, and your wife’s name is Jahanbachsh, your mother’s name is Nadia, and your father’s name is Husain. I called to warn you in advance that you should stand with your people’s side. And if you will not do that, your destiny will be as your leader’s [Ayatollah Ali Khamenei]. Is that clear?

3. Netanyahu said frustrated that Mossad promise it could instigate Iran uprising has fallen short - Times of Israel
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu embraced a Mossad plan to spark a popular uprising at the start of the Iran war and is frustrated that those promises have not come to pass, according to a new report.
The report in The New York Times, published Sunday and citing current and former US and Israeli intelligence officials, says that Netanyahu discussed the plan when persuading US President Donald Trump to go to war against the Islamic Republic.
But it said US and Israeli officials now view the chances of regime change with skepticism and believe that conditions do not appear ripe for a popular uprising. Fears of a repeat of January’s murderous crackdown on demonstrators and danger from the US-Israeli bombing campaign have chilled prospects for more protests. (Read more)

4. IDF diverts forces from Lebanon invasion to W. Bank to control Jewish violence against Palestinians - Jerusalem Post
In a stunning move mid-war, the IDF on Monday announced that it is diverting forces from the invasion of Lebanon to the West Bank to rein in Jewish violence against Palestinians in recent weeks.
In the past, there were times when the critical northern and southern fronts were quiet, and more soldiers were sent to Judea and Samaria to bring Palestinian terror under control.
However, this is the first time during a critical invasion – in this case, against Hezbollah in Lebanon – that IDF soldiers were diverted to what is viewed as a less dangerous front in the West Bank. This is because Jewish violence against Palestinians has hit such large volumes that IDF Central Command Chief Maj. Gen. Avi Bluth did not believe he had sufficient forces to restore order.

5. Palestinian doctor caught smuggling 2nd Temple-era Hebrew coins
- World Israel News
Dozens of rare, ancient coins dating back roughly 2,000 years to the Second Temple period, many bearing inscriptions in ancient Hebrew, were seized recently during an inspection of a Palestinian Arab vehicle at the Hizma checkpoint, Israeli authorities said.
The discovery was made by Border Police officers and customs inspectors on the first Friday of Ramadan, during the week before the outbreak of the war with Iran.
Authorities suspect the coins were looted from Jewish archaeological sites in Judea and Samaria and were being smuggled into Jerusalem.
The vehicle’s driver, identified as a hospital doctor, is suspected of attempting to transport the coins illegally. After officers found a box containing the artifacts inside the vehicle, archaeologists from the Israel Antiquities Authority were called to the scene. (Read more)

1. Khamenei’s disappearance fuels uncertainty over who rules Iran - Israel Hayom
Despite intelligence indicating that Iran's supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is alive, the CIA and the Mossad are still working to assess his location and condition, Axios reported, citing senior US and Israeli officials.
The mystery surrounding Khamenei deepened after he failed to appear for a Nowruz speech on Friday, breaking with a tradition his father observed every year. Instead, he issued only a written message on Telegram. "We expected to see Mojtaba in some form," a US official said. "He didn't use the opportunity or the tradition. That is a major red flag."
"This is more than strange," the US official added. "We don't think the Iranians would go through all this trouble to choose a dead man as supreme leader, but at the same time we have no proof he is holding the reins." According to the report, the CIA is trying to verify whether images published on Khamenei's Telegram channel for Nowruz are recent. His absence stands out, the site noted, especially as Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian released a video for the holiday. (Read more here)

2. Iran Fires Missiles at Far-Off Diego Garcia Base, but U.S. Remains Out of Range - New York Times
Iran’s attempted missile attack on Friday on a joint U.S.-British military base in the Indian Ocean, 2,500 miles away, immediately prompted questions of how far Tehran’s weapons can reach.
Before the current war on Iran, President Trump raised similar fears, noting in his State of the Union address that Iran was “working to build missiles that will soon reach the United States of America.”
But for now, Iran’s missiles cannot reach the United States, and as the failed strike on the military base on Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean demonstrated, the farther Iran fires, the less reliable its missiles and the less accurate its attacks become.
Iran fired two missiles at Diego Garcia, said a U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity. One failed mid-flight and the other was shot down by an American warship. The official added that the launch had surprised the United States because of its range.
The strike came before the announcement that Britain would allow the United States expanded use of its bases, including at Diego Garcia. A senior Western military official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the attack may indicate that Iran is trying to force the United States to spread out its defenses, and not merely focus on defending bases in the Middle East.

Lord, we ask You to give strategy about how to outmaneuver Iran. We pray that every attack from Iran will be stopped.

3. Ukraine deploys units to five Middle East countries to intercept drones - Reuters
Ukraine has deployed specialist teams to five Middle Eastern countries to help intercept drones and advise on air-defence measures, with officials saying they expect to conclude several significant agreements.
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said teams had been sent to the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, and Jordan, states that have come under fire during the Iran war.

He said that local air defence units were dealing with ballistic missiles, while Ukrainian specialists were focused on the waves of Iran's Shahed drones.
"I believe no one has experience comparable to ours," Zelenskiy told journalists in audio messages on a WhatsApp chat, adding that 228 Ukrainian specialists were now in the region.
"We are working with the Middle East – with leaders, at the technical level, and with ministries of defence. In general, we are preparing serious arrangements and agreements," he said. (Read more)

4. Hawaii suffers its worst flooding in 20 years with more rain coming - AP News
HONOLULU (AP) — As Hawaii endures its worst flooding in more than 20 years, officials are urging people in hard-hit areas to “LEAVE NOW.” The warning early Saturday came after heavy rains fell on soil already saturated by downpours from a winter storm a week ago. Still more rain was expected during the weekend, officials said.
Muddy floodwaters smothered vast stretches of Oahu’s North Shore, a community world-renowned for its big-wave surfing. Raging waters lifted homes and cars and prompted evacuation orders for 5,500 people north of Honolulu. Authorities cautioned that a 120-year-old dam could fail. The National Weather Service issued a flash flood warning early Saturday with light to moderate showers expected to turn heavy in some places.
Gov. Josh Green said the cost of the storm could top $1 billion, including damage to airports, schools, roads, people’s homes and a Maui hospital in Kula.
“This is going to have a very serious consequence for us as a state,” Green said at a news conference.
Most of the state was under a flood watch, with Haleiwa and Waialua in northern Oahu under a flash flood warning, according to the National Weather Service.
“Residents in the Waialua area are strongly urged to LEAVE NOW,” an emergency alert said early Saturday. “The remaining access road out of Waialua is at high risk of failure if rainfall continues.”
Green said his chief of staff spoke to the White House and received assurances the islands would have federal support. (Read more)

Lord, as of today, we thank You that this rain has now been redirected from Hawaii. We pray that You will now bring them relief and recovery from these storms.
"It will be a shelter and shade from the heat of the day, and a refuge and hiding place from the storm and rain." (Isaiah 4:6)

5. Top conservative group takes parents' rights fight to Capitol Hill- Fox
A top conservative organization advocating parents' rights is descending on Capitol Hill Wednesday (tomorrow) to meet with both Republicans and Democrats on the subject of transgender issues and other agenda items.
Moms for Liberty is taking its "parents pledge" to Congress, with group members expected to sit down with lawmakers in a bid to grow support for its movement to define what rights parents have over their children while in school and other places outside their immediate control.
"Moms for Liberty brought 100 members from across 20 states to Capitol Hill," the group's co-founder and CEO Tina Descovich told Fox News Digital.
She said members of Congress would join President Donald Trump in signing their pledge, which Descovich called "a commonsense promise to the American people that you support their rights."
The pledge states, "I pledge to honor the fundamental rights of parents, including, but not limited to the right to direct the education, medical care, and moral upbringing of their children. I pledge to advance policies that strengthen parental involvement and decision-making, increase transparency, defend against government overreach, and secure parental rights at all levels of government." (Read more)

Lord, we thank You for the Moms for Liberty organization, and for their common sense to secure parental rights. We ask that You grant them favor and bring their hopes to fruition. We pray for Your protection for righteous parents, and a move of repentance for all others.
“But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.” (John 1:12)

6. Iran’s Digital Terror Playbook Exposed As DOJ Just Took Out Key Pieces- Daily Wire
In a major escalation against foreign cyber threats, the Department of Justice on Thursday announced the seizure of four web domains allegedly used by the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) to facilitate psychological operations, destructive hacking, and what officials described as “transnational repression.”
The targeted websites — Justicehomeland[.]org, Handala-Hack[.]to, Karmabelow80[.]org, and Handala-Redwanted[.]to—allegedly served as the digital infrastructure for so-called “faketivist” groups that U.S. officials say operated as fronts for the Iranian government.
According to court documents, these sites were used to leak stolen data, dox dissidents, and incite violence against American citizens, journalists, and Israeli officials.
Attorney General Pamela Bondi characterized the move as a vital strike against state-sponsored extremism. (Read more)

Lord, we thank You that the DOJ is moving to remove all of Iran’s propaganda websites. We pray for accountability for all who have been involved in these evil plans to deceive.

And He Called
The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, March 23, 2026
Leviticus 1:1–6:7 is, Vayikra, “And He Called.” The LORD calls to Moses from the Tabernacle, laying out the details of the offerings defining how Israel approached God. The Olah, or burnt offering, rises as a freewill expression of devotion. The Minchah, the grain offering, is a voluntary gift of flour, oil, and frankincense. The Shelamim, the peace offering, is shared in fellowship between the one bringing it and the priests. The Chatat, the sin offering, addresses unintentional sin and impurity. The Asham, the guilt offering, follows restitution. Yet for intentional sin, only repentance and divine forgiveness restore the relationship. God is calling His people closer, but He sets the terms for how that happens. What does this mean for us?
Leviticus stands at the center of the Torah, not just in placement, but in purpose. It was, and still is today, the first book taught to Hebrew children, grounding them early in the meaning of holiness. The name itself comes from the Latin, “Book of the Levites,” while the Hebrew tradition called it Torat Kohanim, the Law of the Priesthood. But Vayikra captures something deeper. “And He called” is more than a statement, it is an invitation. It carries the sense of being summoned, even beckoned, into relationship. This is not ritual for ritual’s sake. It is instruction on how holiness moves from concept into daily life. God dwells among His people, and now the question becomes practical, how does a person draw near to a holy God? Read More

Speaker Johnson Calls on America to ‘Turn toward Prayer Again’ Just as the Founders Did
|
|
|
|
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) is calling on Americans to embrace the true meaning of the term “separation of church and state,” which he said is “one of the most misunderstood issues in American society.”
The 2026 National Catholic Prayer Breakfast took place at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center on Thursday with concluding remarks from Johnson, who reflected on the role that the Christian faith has played in U.S. history ahead of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
“It is from the very birth of our nation that America has always been sustained by prayer and been reliant upon our foundation of religion and morality, and it’s in the DNA of our nation and who we are,” he explained.
Johnson, a former professor and lawyer, emphasized his expertise in “religion in the public sphere,” calling it one of his favorite and most misunderstood topics.
“I’m often criticized for invoking my faith,” Johnson said. “That’s not some innovative thing. There are some very angry voices out there trying to convince us breathlessly that there must be a rigid separation between church and state. It’s a phrase that’s often repeated, as we know, but very rarely understood.” (The Washington Stand) Read all of his remarks here.

|
Father God, we are so blessed to know that the man who holds the gavel of authority in the House of Representatives, Speaker Mike Johnson, is a devoted Christian. His knowledge of Your Word, in combination with the actual Christian history of our Founding Fathers, makes him a true warrior for You! We bless Mike Johnson today, and we ask that You rest Your hand of protection upon him and his family, without fail. In Your Name, Holy One, we offer this prayer, amen and amen.

GOP congresswoman introduces bill to stop abortion pill from polluting water supply
|
|
|
|
Rep. Mary Miller's Clean Water for All Life Act would include providing a catch kit and medical waste bag with instructions to bring them to a healthcare provider for proper disposal.
|
|
|
WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) — Republican U.S. Rep. Mary Miller of Illinois introduced legislation Thursday to crack down on unsupervised chemical abortions and the potentially hazardous dumping of abortion-inducing chemicals and their victims in public water supplies.
The Clean Water for All Life Act would prohibit administering abortion pills without “physically examining the patient”; “being physically present at the location of the chemical abortion”; or “providing a catch kit and red bag medical waste, including instructions for the patient to bring such kit and bag to the healthcare provider for proper disposal.” Violators would face up to five years in prison and/or up to $50,000 in fines.
“The murder-for-profit abortion industry has completely ignored the dangerous and unethical disposal of pre-born baby remains and toxic chemical waste produced by abortion pills,” Miller declared in a press release. “I introduced the Clean Water for All Life Act to put an end to their reckless and inhumane practices.”
“These do-it-yourself, at-home, chemical abortion pills are allowing women to expel the baby into the toilet, and it’s going into our wastewater,” the congresswoman added in an interview with the Family Research Council’s Washington Watch. “So my bill is going to put an end to this reckless practice that harms women, degrades human dignity, and contaminates our environment. It’s so bad.”
“I think the biggest thing is that we cannot allow the chemical abortion pills to be mailed out willy-nilly. That’s what’s been happening,” she continued. “Thirteen-year-olds can get them, and if they have a cell phone, they can access the ability to order them and to get them and never have a physical exam (…) These girls and women may not even know how far along they are. And it’s one in 10 girls and women (who) take these pills have to get some kind of medical care afterward, either (they) end up in the emergency room or some kind of medical attention.” (Read more here)

Father God, together we shout a loud "HALLELUJAH" for this news! We bless Rep. Miller for her bold action in introducing this bill, so that the remains of these aborted babies will be handled with care, and our waters will be kept safe, as well. We pray, too, that the Clean Water for All Life Act would see swift passage in the House, and
in the Senate, so that President Trump would then be able to sign this act into law. Praise God!

Visuals show the damaging aftermath of severe flooding in Hawaii

Footage and photos capture the aftermath of catastrophic flooding in Hawaii, deemed the worst in two decades.
It comes after severe rain and damaging winds that resulted in evacuation orders, more than 200 rescues, power outages and enough damage that could cost over $1 billion, officials said.
Video shows a Coast Guard officer looking for signs of distress in the murky water in affected neighborhoods. According to HawaiiNewsNow, Honolulu Mayor Rick Blangiardi spoke on the widespread damage to residents' homes.
"Like everybody and anybody, I’m grateful that so far everybody’s alive, but I recognize the fact that a lot of homes have been destroyed," Blangiardi said, per the outlet.
"A lot of people’s lives are going to be upended from the standpoint of the challenge of what they’re going to have to do going forward, and we’re just all going to have to dig in," he continued.
Hawaii governor provides residents with an update
A series of low-pressure systems has struck Hawaii in March. They're a winter phenomenon, often called kona lows or kona storms, for the Hawaiian word "kona" for leeward.
The winter storms typically impact the leeward side of the islands that are usually sheltered from tradewinds and intense rains, according to Steven Businger, a professor in the meteorology department at the University of Hawaii. (jsonline) Read More
