This week we will finish Jeremiah (30-52) and read Lamentations. Jeremiah was a prophet of God for almost 40 years, through the reign of five different kings. True prophets spoke the words God gave them to speak. There were also false prophets who said whatever the king wanted to hear. Prophets were to speak the truth as Jeremiah did. When the Israelites entered Canaan centuries before, Moses gave them the law and told them as long as they kept the law and were obedient, God would bless them. If they did not, there would be consequences....

Once people have served as the president of the United States, they are faced with the question of what to do with the rest of their lives. Some live for several years after their term ends but others do not.

Fortunately, however, people – including former presidents – are living longer than used to be the case. Consequently, many former...
The debt ceiling and the way federal spending works is being misrepresented. All 206 Republican House Representatives vote against raising the nation's debt ceiling. Do people understand that this has NOTHING to do with new spending? It is not Democrats "racking up the nation's debt."
