Hello World,

Via his social media platform Truth Social, former President Donald Trump has announced that he is selling his “God Bless the USA” Bible in partnership with famed singer Lee Greenwood who sang the popular American anthem “God Bless the USA.”

See the announcement below:

Below are the details about the “God Bless the USA” Bible, which costs $59.99:

Easy-to-read, large print, and slim design, this Bible invites you to explore God’s Word anywhere, any time.  This Bible has been designed so that it delivers an easy reading experience in the trusted King James Version translation.  This large print Bible will be perfect to take to church, a Bible study, work, travel, etc.

This Bible also features a copy of:

• A handwritten chorus to “God Bless The USA” by Lee Greenwood
• The US Constitution
• The Bill of Rights
• The Declaration of Independence
• The Pledge of Allegiance

Apparently, because the “God Bless the USA” Bible is in high demand, you have to wait four to six weeks for delivery. So if you wanted to have this Bible by Easter, that won’t happen…

This Holy Week announcement coincides with his social media platform Truth Social going public. I don’t know that I’ve ever heard of a former  president or a presidential candidate selling a Bible or launching a social media platform…What a country! Freedom abounds…

Hello World,

Per a statement from the family of former President Jimmy Carter, one of my favorite presidents, he is in hospice care preparing for his transition. Below is the official statement from the Carter family:

After a series of short hospital stays, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter today decided to spend his remaining time at home with his family and receive hospice care instead of additional medical intervention. He has the full support of his family and his medical team. The Carter family asks for privacy during this time and is grateful for the concern shown by his many admirers.

Ultimately, God has the final say about when He calls him home, but let’s keep our 39th president, who is a blessed 98 years old, and his family in our prayers during this difficult time.

Any thoughts?

Hello World,

As a new mother, I am most definitely on the hunt for imaginative and informative children’s books! So I was excited to hear that Senator Raphael G. Warnock, Georgia’s first black senator who is also the senior pastor of the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church here in the A, recently released a children’s book Put Your Shoes On & Get Ready! Below is the description of the book:

From Georgia’s first Black Senator Raphael Warnock comes an inspiring picture book about finding your dreams and making your mark in the world.

Before Raphael Warnock became a pastor and the first Black senator from Georgia, he was a little boy whose father told him to get up, get dressed, put on his shoes, and get ready! So that’s what he did, along every step of his journey. From his work boots to his marching band shoes to his shiny lace-ups, Senator Reverend Warnock found the right shoes to fit his feet and to carry him toward his dreams.

This inspirational story, with bold, brilliant art by TeMika Grooms, follows Raphael Warnock’s journey from Savannah, Georgia, to the United States Senate and shows young readers that they, too, can find the power to be themselves and make a difference when they have the shoes that fit their feet.
