Thought and Songs for Today

Jesus addressed this parable to those who were convinced of their own righteousness and despised everyone else. “Two people went up to the temple area to pray; one was a Pharisee and the other was a tax collector. The Pharisee took up his position and spoke this prayer to himself, ‘O God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of humanity — greedy, dishonest, adulterous — or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week, and I pay tithes on my whole income.’ But the tax collector stood off at a distance and would not even raise his eyes to heaven but beat his breast and prayed, ‘O God, be merciful to me a sinner.’ I tell you, the latter went home justified, not the former; for whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.” Luke 18:9-14

How do we pray to the Lord? Is it with pride or with humility? Pride in prayer blinds us from true self-knowledge. Self-knowledge is obtained through humility in prayer, which leads us to grow in holiness.

1. I was hoping the irascible Democrats would get with the program and vote the shutdown over with the clean CR once their No Kings performance art was over. SNAP (supplemental nutrition assistance program) benefits are threatened if the shutdown moves into November. As I think about this, and I could be wrong, I am thinking that the Democrats may not budge on the issue until after the 11/4/2025 election. The Democrats have zip, zero, jack shit leverage right now, but if they do well on the first Tuesday of November, they might be able to get some wussy members of the Republican Party to cave to a few of their demands. Pay close attention to the Virginia and New Jersey governor races.

2. I had the pleasure of briefly speaking with Charlie Kirk at the Delaware County Republican Party Lincoln Reagan dinner on 8/25/2025. I am a big Charlie Kirk fan and continue to watch his show on Real America’s Voice. I approached Charlie at the dinner and relayed how excited I was that he and many other young people are standing up for Christian family values. I apologized for the “stupid” of my generation – the Baby Boomers. He said to me, “People like you make up for it. Keep up the good fight.”

1. The shutdown continues. I have a friend whose 20 something year old son married last year. This year, the young man and his wife bought their first house. The young man is a civilian employee at Wright Patterson Air Force Base and has been showing up to work and working the last three weeks, but he will have to wait until the shutdown ends in order to receive his pay check. Unfortunately, the holders of the young man’s mortgage (also collector of the young man’s property taxes), car loan, and utility suppliers expect to be paid on time. Now that Democrats have had their photo op/sound bite protest moment, I hope they can get down to actually doing their job to get hundreds of thousands of federal employees paid for doing an honest day’s work.

2. Ohio news. We do have an Ohio redistricting issue playing out at the statehouse. Also, Republicans have proposed legislation that would require all mail-in ballots to be received by the time polls close on election day. Democrats are always moaning about how Republicans are making it so hard for people to vote. Really. In Ohio, voters have roughly four weeks to request, receive, fill out, and mail in a ballot. The ballot should be required to be received by election day. The postal service is no longer a pony express venture. Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge has been placed on paid administrative leave pending an internal investigation of the effectiveness of her leadership. Remember the Cincinnati brawl three months ago? After I read the story concerning the police chief, I let my fingers do the walking on the internet and sure enough there is a mayoral race in Cincinnati this year. There has been an uptick in violent crime in Cincinnati. Of note, Cincinnati has not had a Republican mayor since 1971. The last time a Republican candidate appeared on the general ballot for a mayoral race was 16 years ago. I guess current Democratic Mayor Aftab Pureval, who is running for reelection against J.D. Vance’s half brother Republican Cory Bowman, is reassuring voters that he is serious about crime. I included two articles below that discuss a heinous crime that occurred in Cleveland, Ohio. The unthinkable crime was committed by 9 and 10 year olds. Please pray for all of those involved in this sordid event. Only God can fix this mess.

Thought and Songs for Today

Jesus told his disciples a parable about the necessity for them to pray always without becoming weary. He said, “There was a judge in a certain town who neither feared God nor respected any human being. And a widow in that town used to come to him and say, ‘Render a just decision for me against my adversary.’ For a long time, the judge was unwilling, but eventually he thought, ‘While it is true that I neither fear God nor respect any human being, because this widow keeps bothering me, I shall deliver a just decision for her lest she finally come and strike me.’” The Lord said, “Pay attention to what the dishonest judge says. Will not God then secure the rights of his chosen ones who call out to him day and night? Will he be slow to answer them? I tell you, he will see to it that justice is done for them speedily. But when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?” Luke 18:1-8

Will God respond to all of our prayers? No, God will respond to those prayers which are prayers for the justice of God, not prayers for our own desires and wants. Accept injustices as a sacrifice of love and pray persistently to God to transform your sufferings into God’s mercy. God will always answer those prayers.
