Thought and Songs for Today

Jesus entered a village where a woman whose name was Martha welcomed him. She had a sister named Mary who sat beside the Lord at his feet listening to him speak. Luke 10:38–39

True charity is bettering the lives of those around us. Think of the gestures and actions you can take within your own family to add joy and comfort to their lives, whether it is preparing a favorite meal or spending extra time cleaning around the house. You may be called by God like Martha to work hard to provide joy and comfort or like Mary to be fed by the Lord. Know that both callings are important and you should rejoice to provide joy and comfort if God is calling you in that direction and rejoice if he is calling you to be fed by His Words.

Thought and Songs for Today

Are you attentive to the needs of those around you? Do you notice their struggles, their pain, and the weight they carry each day? Can you recognize when someone is feeling sorrowful or overwhelmed? And in those moments, do you contribute to their burden—or do you offer comfort and support? Take time today to reflect on the profound gift of empathy and compassion. Genuine Christian empathy is a loving response to the suffering of others. It is an expression of Mercy that we are called to nurture, so we may help lighten the load of those entrusted to our care. “Bear one another’s burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ.” – Galatians 6:2

Thought For Today

Reflect today on Saints Peter and Paul and remember that they were ordinary men called to extraordinary vocations. They answered God’s call in ways beyond their imagination. Consider your own calling and how God may want to use you to continue their mission.

Debt Bomb

The US House has passed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). The bill is now in the US Senate undergoing additional tweaks and adjustments. The bill is a comprehensive reconciliation measure that combines tax reforms, spending adjustments, and policy changes into one package. The OBBBA includes an extension of the 2017 tax cuts; tax exemptions for tips, overtime pay and auto loan interest; an increase in the child tax credit to $2,500 through 2028; an increase of the state and local tax (SALT) deduction caps from $10,000 to $40,000; and an increase of the estate tax exemption to $15 million. The spending and program changes include stricter work requirements and eligibility verification for Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), prohibiting Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) from covering gender-affirming care for individuals of all ages, ending federal direct subsidized loans for undergraduate students, allocating $150 billion for defense spending, and $70 billion for border security measures. Environmental and technological policies include rolling back many clean-energy tax credits established under the Inflation Reduction Act and imposing a 10-year moratorium on state-level regulations of artificial intelligence which will override existing state laws. The OBBBA, while not a complete disaster, does not reduce the debt or the deficit. Tax cuts and spending in OBBBA will rise over the first 5 years with savings materializing in the last 5 years of the budget cycle. Projections of how much the deficit will increase over 10 years range from $1.7 trillion to $6 trillion. Reducing government spending to address the debt and deficit requires tough decisions. Reducing the debt and deficit is challenging but necessary. Government borrowing and money printing to cover spending greater than government receipts results in an increase in inflation, weakens the dollar, and threatens the dollar’s reserve currency status. The lower and middle classes suffer the most as the value of the dollar decreases and prices increase because of the borrowing and money printing. If the debt and deficits continue to grow unchecked, the financial system is likely to experience a significant downturn or collapse. Elon Musk, despite all the success of DOGE finding outlandish spending and waste, became frustrated when he realized no one in Washington is interested in cutting spending and reducing the deficit. MAGA patriots did not come out in droves and vote in 2024 to continue the DC spending grift. It is time to stop playing “kick the can down the road.” Unfortunately for President Trump, he has to play ball with the Congress Critters who owe everybody and his brother.

Thoughts and Songs for Today

When Judas had left them, Jesus said, “Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in him. If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and God will glorify him at once.” John 13:31–32

When you look at your life, it is essential to see the cross that God has given to you. That is because your cross is the gateway to eternal glory. Each person’s cross will be different. A cross is not simply our suffering; it’s our call to live sacrificially. This is love. It’s the calling we are given to lay our lives down for others. To serve others. To forgive every wrong, to love every sinner, to show mercy and compassion toward those in need. And to do all of this in response to God’s perfect will. The crosses in our lives are opportunities for love in its purest form. This is how Jesus saw His Cross and this is how we must see ours.

Tariffs – A Strategy that is Good for America

President Donald Trump’s stance of imposing tariffs on imports has been an important part of his economic strategy. The imposition of tariffs aims to bolster American industry, protect jobs, and address trade imbalances. While the policy has sparked a lot of debate, there are benefits for the United States. Tariffs can serve as a protective barrier for U.S. industries facing stiff competition from countries with lower production costs. By making imported goods more expensive, tariffs encourage consumers and businesses to purchase domestically produced goods. This shift can lead to increased demand for American-made products, prompting companies to expand operations and hire more workers. Reducing reliance on imports, especially for critical goods like steel, aluminum, and pharmaceuticals, is a matter of national security. By encouraging domestic production of these essential items, the U.S. can ensure a more stable supply chain, particularly during global disruptions. The U.S. has long faced significant trade deficits with countries like China. Tariffs are a tool to address these imbalances by making imported goods more expensive, thereby reducing imports and increasing domestic consumption. President Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs, announced on April 2, 2025, as a response to a “national emergency,” asserted tariffs would boost domestic production and create American jobs. Tariffs also serve as a source of revenue for the federal government. The funds collected by the federal government can be used to reduce taxes or invest in infrastructure and other public services. By imposing tariffs, the U.S. is sending a clear message to trading partners about the importance of fair-trade practices. The administration’s stance is that if other countries reduce their own tariffs and trade barriers, the U.S. will reciprocate. The goal of this approach is to encourage more equitable trade relationships and reduce instances of currency manipulation and unfair subsidies. While tariffs can lead to higher prices for consumers in the short term, tariffs are a necessary tool to protect American industries, ensure national security, address trade imbalances, generate government revenue, and promote fair trade practices. By strategically implementing tariffs, the U.S. aims to strengthen its economic position and safeguard its long-term interests. It is time to level the playing field with other countries when it comes to trade and tariffs are an excellent way to achieve trade equity. Only Trump and his team have had the guts to do it.
