Will our leaders ask God for wisdom or follow man's?  Please share downloadable file and print handout for such a time as this...

2 Chr 7:14 if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. 
19 “But if you turn away and forsake My statutes and My commandments which I have set before you, and go and serve other gods, and worship them, 20 then I will uproot them from My land which I have given them; and this house which I have [d]sanctified for My name I will cast out of My sight, and will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples.

Big Picture and Why the Demoralization of young people is a priority for those who have an Agenda.  Because it is the way to change America!  It was written about in 1958
https://bigthink.com/the-present/yuri-bezmenov/
It seems many have forgotten that the Preamble of our state asks for Guidance from Almighty God.  When one sees what's in the news and not just national news, that shows young people with a mindset that is so anti-God then we know we have a problem.  Please commit to pray and fast for your sisters and brothers in Christ that are in leadership position.  The upcoming week will determine whether we will bring blessings or curses to our state.  There are sins of omission and commission and it is time we look at our state and our part as citizens. 

We can remember where our blessings and help comes from and His Word will not fail us if we will heed it.  May God help us.

​Something has changed from these truths once shared by Gov. Ivey when she was Treasurer

This is what she said then:

There is the cost of the social problems that go hand-in glove with legalized gambling. Gambling proponents don't like to talk about them, but I assure you they are there.
Consider this:
The average pathological gambler affects, directly or indirectly, eight other people, including family, friends, and co-workers. One-third of gambling addicts have been arrested, compared to only 5% of non-gamblers.  
Gambling addiction seriously affects absenteeism and job productivity. More than 20% of problem gamblers in treatment have lost a job because of their gambling.  
Gambling addicts are four times more likely to have poor menta! health and are four times more likely to attempt suicide than those without gambling problems.  
If legalizing gambling raised the percent of gamblers in our state to the national average. 15,000 additional gambling addicts would be created, at a cost of more than 200 million per year in crime, lost productivity and costs for health and human services.  
I agree with people who want to attract new jobs to their communities and who want to find new revenue sources for our state government. But you won’t find the answer in legalized gambling. It is Fool’s Gold, a lure of easy money that doesn’t deliver, unless you are the Owner of a casino or local bingo Joint.

Want a sure bet? We should focus our energies and invest our limited resources in recruiting stable, good paying jobs with established businesses, and encouraging existing companies to expand.  Solid jobs with solid companies build sold communities


Everybody wins that way
Kay Ivey-Treasurer of the State of Alabama


What's Before the Alabama Legislature:

This week there are bills that will affect souls of families and  the sexualization of youth.  It will also clearly show what is the priority of our state and our leaders (that we voted for and what we will fund).

Gambling bill supposed to benefit education but we know full well will harm families and make way for more addicts in our state.  Plus more money is not the answer but getting rid of evil indoctrination.

HB385-should remove the Library exemption that has allowed them to keep trashy books in libraries.  Please call your Senator to make it come to the Senate floor for a vote (it already passed House Floor and Senate Committee). 
Same thing with HB167 should make porn filters be “on” cell phones to protect the young vs off.  
Call Senators at 334 261-0800. 

Food for thought:  Alabama House of Representatives kicks off National Day of Prayer with Hindu prayer.  Time for more prayers and fasting over who is involved in our Statehouse and how our state and nation are being changed.  Also, how the young people are being used.  Can we say we are off-kilter? 


​Chris Ruffo of Manhattan Institute cites Office for Intellectual Freedom's plan:
--Ultimately we found that the thing that needs to happen most and it needs to happen before these bills are introduced is sustained messaging that reframes this issue that takes it away from the idea that these are inappropriate for minors or sexually inappropriate for minors and promote them as diverse materials and programming that are about inclusion, fairness and protection of everybody's right to see themselves and their families reflected in the books in the public library.

Per Ruffo--They're using pornography. They're using everything they can to dissolve the moral notions of children and their families just to play politics and just to advance the Marxist dream.--Click here for video of interview.

Also very interesting perspective cited by US Congress--let us remember:

More as predicted in 1958 and presented to Congress

​

May we and our leaders choose wisely to serve the One from whom all blessings flow:

Joshua 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

Library Professionals vs Grandfather Protecting Children

Grandfather:
How  you  doing?  I'm  Tony  Moore.  I  live  in  Prattville.  I've  been  in  Prattville  all  my  life.  I  was  a  city  councilman  for  eight  years.  I've  been  driving  a  school  bus  for  20  years  and  I'm  part  of  cleanup  Prattville.

 And  I  wanted  to  be  here  today  to  ask  you  to  support  this  bill,  House  Bill  of  385.  And,  and  I  brought  my  little  grandson  here  because  when  I  found  out  this  was  going  on, I  found  out  there  was  books  in  our  library,  which  I  used  to  hang  out  in  as  a  kid,  waiting  on  my  parents  to  pick  me  up,  this  little  four  year  old  here  could  find  out  how  he  could  become  a   girl.

 That's  a  shame.  And  I  think  we  owe  it  to  our  kids.  kids  to  pass  this  bill  and  support  it  with  all  that  we  can.  And  I  know  I  have  limited  time, but  I'd  like  to  quote  something  from  the  Bible.  I'm  not  a  preacher,  my  brother  does  that.  I'm  a  politician,  I  guess  you'd  say. 

But  it's  Mark  chapter  9:42.
 And  whosoever  shall  offend  one  of  these  little  ones  that  believe  in  me,  it  is  better.  for  him  that  a  millstone  were  hung  around  his  neck  and  he  were  cast  in  the  sea.  I  didn't  say  that, God  said  that  and  I  think  we're  all  gonna  be  held  accountable  for  what  we  do  for  these  little  ones  and  I'm  gonna  do  my  part.  And  recently  the  city  of  Prattville  has  completely  overhauled  our  library  board  . They resigned.  They  knew  they  were  wrong.  And  I  would  ask  you  to  do  everything  within  your  power,  your  God -given  power  to  support  these  little  ones  'cause  they're  all  we  got.  Thank you.
----
  Chris  Warren:
 Good  morning,  or  what  is  left  of  it.  My  name  is  Chris  Warren.
 I'm  a  resident  of  Houston  County,  a  library  professional  with  20  years  of  experience  and  the  director  of  the  Dothan  Houston  County  Library  System.  I'm  here  to  speak  against  HP  385.  I'm  also  on  the  executive  counsel  of  the  Alabama  Library  Association.
 First,  the  legislation,  as  it's  written,  affords  no  process  to  due  or  otherwise  to  the  accused.  There's  no  investigation  of  criminal  wrongdoing  or  even  an  evaluation  of  the  legitimacy  of  any  claim  that  material  is  or  isn't  obscene.
 On  top  of  that,  anyone  can  submit  a  claim,  even  if  they  don't  have  a  library  card,  even  if  they  don't  live  in  that  county,  even  if  they  don't  live  in  Alabama.  This  creates  an  undue  burden  on  libraries,  not  to  mention  an  undue  burden  on  our  local  district  attorneys  who  would  be  required  to  prosecute  these  accusations.
 Second,  the  legislation  short  circuits  the  policies  and  procedures  that  libraries  already  have  in  place.  In  most  cases,  this  includes  a  materials  reconsideration  process  through  which  patrons  can  formally  express  concerns  about  what  they  deem  objectionable.
 As  Professionals,  we  take  this  process  very  seriously.  In  fact,  in  Dothan,  we've  invested  $20 ,000,  the  equivalent  there  of  a  staff  time  to  evaluate  these.  We  take  great  efforts  to  minimize  our  own  concerns, biases  and  avoid  any  knee -jerk  reactions  or  blanket  decisions.  Third,  libraries  already  have  trained,  educated,  experienced,  thoughtful,  caring  and  community -minded  employees  who  work  tirelessly  to  ensure  that  our  collections  reflect  the  interests, values,  and  lived  experiences  of  all  of  our  taxpayers. 

Our  collections  may  include  titles  that  are  sexually  explicit  or  that  are  related  to  sexuality  or  gender,  but  to  claim  that  we  have  obscene  materials  or  even  pornography  is  offensive  at  best  and  dangerous at  worst.  Fourth  and  finally,  this  bill would  subject  our  city's  counties  and  public  libraries  to  a  deluge  of  litigation,  which  would  result  in  taxpayer  dollars  being  spent  to  pay  attorneys  and  settle  lawsuits.
 That's  money  that  cities  can't  use  to  pay  police  officers  and  teachers,  money  that  counties  can't  use  to  pay  broken  roads  or  repair  bridges,  and  money  that  public  libraries  can't  use  for  summer  readings,  STEM  kits,  and  classroom  outreach  activities.  For these reasons I urge you to vote against  (server went down so you could not hear rest of his words).


Summary--are children expendable when adult librarians could face penalties?  If they are innocent surely they should not suffer but if guilty -- then they should be held accountable and the Libraries also.  Hope HB385 will not be watered down as there are warning signs when minds of children are being turned to destroy the nation.

The above picture paints a thousand words...Grandpa fighting to protect the little one vs Professional  who can not understand that they are harming young people.  The three reconsideration forms are of books that he sees fit to keep in the Library.  Someone has said you do not keep trash in the house and those that protect it does not seem to have God's moral values in mind.  Rather it is easier to disregard the concern for the children as it will prove too costly etc.  In God's eyes...disregarding the harm is very harmful to our future.
