– Sidlow Baxter Let's get started with some espresso shots. Former President Trump is safe following gunshots in his vicinity yesterday. Trump was golfing at his course in West Palm Beach, Florida around 2 o'clock p.m. when Secret Service agents saw a person hiding with an AK-47 rifle a few holes ahead and opened fire.

Amen. Some major storms are wreaking havoc around the world. In Southeast Asia, Typhoon Yegi, Asia's most powerful storm this year, brought torrential rain and winds exceeding 90 miles per hour, killing 250 people and injuring 800 more in Vietnam.

export-focused industrial hubs. Hundreds of thousands of children lost their homes and now lack access to clean water, sanitation, and health care.

The storm brought a month's worth of rain in just 24 hours, and the forecast isn't easing up until at least tonight. In the wake of these devastating storms, pray not only for protection and prosperity, temporary blessings, but also for Christ's light to shine through His compassionate, generous followers on the ground. The blessings of the gospel are eternal. 1 Peter 1, 3, 4, and 6 says,

Because of His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead and into an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you. You rejoice in this, even though now for a short time, if necessary, you suffer grief in various trials." Springfield, Ohio has been thrust into the political spotlight.
