One day I received a letter from grandma… It read;
"The other day I went up to a local Christian bookstore and saw a "honk if you love Jesus " bumper sticker.
I was feeling particularly sassy that day because I had just come from a thrilling choir performance, followed by a thunderous prayer meeting, so I bought the sticker and put it on my bumper. Boy, I'm glad I did! What an uplifting experience followed!
I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection, just lost in thought about the Lord and how good He is and I didn't notice that the light had changed. It is a good thing someone else loves Jesus because if he hadn't honked, I'd never have noticed! I found that LOTS of people love Jesus! While I was sitting there, the guy behind started honking like crazy, and then he leaned out of his window and screamed, "For the love of GOD! GO! GO! Jesus Christ, GO! " What an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus!
Everyone started honking! I just leaned out of my window and started waving and smiling at all these loving people. I even honked my horn a few times to share in the love! There must have been a man from Florida back there because I heard him yelling something about a "sunny beach ". I saw another guy waving in a funny way with only his middle finger stuck up in the air. I asked my teenage grandson in the back seat what that meant, he said that it was probably a Hawaiian good luck sign or something. Well, I've never met anyone from Hawaii, so I leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign back. My grandson burst out laughing. He was enjoying this religious experience, too!
A couple of the people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that they got out of their cars and started walking towards me. I bet they wanted to pray or ask what church I attended, but this is when I noticed the light had changed. So, I waved to all my sisters and brothers grinning, and drove on through the intersection. I noticed I was the only car that got through the intersection before the light changed again and I felt kind of sad that I had to leave them after all the love we had shared, so I slowed the car down, leaned out of the window and gave them all the Hawaiian good luck sign one last time as I drove away. Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks! Grandma"

- The Long Game
Here’s the cold, rational truth. Even if this works, even if the Iranian regime collapses, even if some moderate government rises from the wreckage, even if not one more American dies, the Trump Administration will have established that the United States assassinates foreign heads of state without congressional approval, that international law means nothing when America decide it’s inconvenient, that diplomatic negotiations can be abandoned … - Six American soldiers are dead in the #USIranWar
The US military confirmed that its death toll from the conflict has risen to six, after two bodies were recovered from a regional facility struck by Iran. Six. With more promised. Trump himself said there will be more casualties. He said it like a weather forecast. “There will likely be rain on Tuesday. There will likely be more American deaths.” Six families were destroyed. Six … - The Insurance Companies May Have Ended The #USIranWar
Here’s the most surreal part of all of this: Iran didn’t even need to physically close the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has deployed selective drone and rocket attacks. That’s been enough for shipping companies and the insurers who underwrite them to balk at the risk of sending ships through the strait. The insurance companies said no. That was it. Fifteen hundred years of naval strategy, …
