A Turning Tide and the National Day of Prayer
The “tide is turning” in America.
Helping to propel it forward will be the National Day of Prayer on Thursday, May 1.
The past Easter saw a near revival-like explosion of salvations, baptisms, and heightened spiritual awareness through the United States and other nations. Thursday’s National Day of Prayer (in which I had the privilege of participating in Washington, D.C. for forty years) may be used by God to swell the rising waves of renewal.
Sadly, many of the cultural waves of the 21st century, especially in the West, have been secular/atheistic in nature including globalism. But not in 2025.
Be encouraged. The tide is turning.
You can join in by participating in the National Day of Prayer this Thursday.
Pope Francis’ Legacy and my Prayers for the Catholic Church
Pope Francis died at the age of 88 in the early morning of April 21, 2025 (Easter Monday) after suffering a stroke. He was the 266th pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church, serving for twelve years (2013 – 2025).
He made his final public appearance on Easter Sunday, waving to the crowds at Vatican City from the “pope mobile.” His last known outside visitor was U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance, who converted to Catholicism in his early 30’s.
Here are my thoughts on Pope Francis’ legacy and how I’m praying for the Roman Catholic Church.
Turning the World Right Side Up
The shock and awe changes the Trump administration is bringing to the USA/world is nothing less than breathtaking. Donald Trump has accomplished more in a month than most presidents accomplish in four-to-eight years.
I’ve never seen anything like it in 54 years as a voter.
The American people are behind him 50-55% in most polls (much higher than he polled in term one) and Rasmussen Reports that their Presidential Approval Roundup shows a majority of Americans believe the country is now on the “right track” for the first time in two decades.
President Trump believes he has been spared by God to renew the American nation.
That belief is turning the world right side up.
