EVERYDAY HEROES: “Dear Spectrum Internet, Today your technician Robert came to our home to upgrade our internet and help us start up TV streaming. He walked into a mess. My son, Sailor, is three years old. He was born with two rare brain defects and he is blind. He is unable to communicate his needs, and today has been rough for him. He has been crying all morning. I’ve been trying to soothe him while also meeting the needs of my two year old daughter, cleaning, washing dishes, and doing laundry while my husband works. It’s just been a tough day. When Robert walked in and started talking, Sailor ran to him and reached up. Robert didn’t seem bothered at all and, instead, held my son off and on for the whole 45 minutes he was in our home. He snuggled him close while I folded laundry. It was a huge relief to this tired momma. Robert could have walked in, rushed, and left but instead he saw a need greater than internet and met it. That’s beyond customer service- it’s humanity at its best. Robert deserves a raise… a promotion… something! He’s an asset to your company and I will never forget his kindness. Sincerely, Jessica” ~Credit: Jessica Nash Donnahoo

JOY REID: CLICK https://x.com/EndWokeness/status/1973463173169574367 to hear the clip. Joy Reid’s parents met while attending the university of Iowa. Her father was an engineer; her mother was a professor and a nutritionist. They achieved the American dream. Joy is an ungrateful liar.
MEDIA: September 11, 2019 lede – “Democrats running for president have said they would support extending government health care coverage to undocumented immigrants – a big shift, since undocumented immigrants currently have little access to federal programs.”

MILITARY: On Tuesday, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced that all combat personnel will be required to meet the highest male standard in order to maintain their positions.
“We’re training warriors, not defenders. We fight wars to win, not to defend. Defense is something you do all the time, it’s inherently reactionary and can lead to overuse, overreach, and mission creep. War is something you do sparingly, on our own terms and with clear aims.”
I notice he said “combat” personnel. It reminds me of the time our new pastor expressed disbelief that our youngest was a Marine. As she is only 5’4” tall, he noted she couldn’t drive a military truck. She noted back that her MOS didn’t require her to drive a truck. There are lots of places for women to serve in the military. Combat isn’t one of them.
PHILATELY: October is Stamp Collecting Month. The National Postal Museum reminds us that “a stamp is much more than the physical evidence that postage has been paid. Stamps can be miniature works of art, treasured keepsakes, and rare collectibles.”
PRAYER for OUR NATION: Dear Lord, Unite our hearts and heal every division within our nation. Let Your peace rule over us all. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

GRAMMY NOTES: Shutdown news from Mama Buzz – “The one priest we have on base here is government contracted, not military, so as long as the shut down lasts, we will have no Masses in the base chapel, not even on Sundays.” Also, the military bank is offering up to three months pay to soldiers to tide them over.
