    A TV Trailer for Enemy at the Gates, the latest Mitch Rapp thriller. 

    "Mitch Rapp has worked for a number of presidents over his career, but Anthony Cook is unlike any he’s encountered before. Cunning and autocratic, he feels no loyalty to America’s institutions and is distrustful of the influence Rapp and CIA director Irene Kennedy have in Washington."

    The beautiful voice of the lovely Dionne Warwick singing one of her biggest hits. Loved this one. 

     

    Father, only you save souls. Only you know hearts. Only you give gifts and talents. Thank you for them all. Thank you for rescuing me. Never can thank you enough. In the Name of Jesus, Amen. 

     

  •   May be an image of one or more people and text that says '#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR VINCEFLYNN YNN ENEMY AT THE GATES COMING SEPTEMBER 14, 2021' 

    Can' wait to read and review this latest Mitch Rapp novel. Vince Flynn's legacy is carried forward by Kyle Mills placing Mitch in one tragedy v. triumph situation after another. No better character ever than Vince's famous operative Mitch Rapp. He set the bar high and it's never really been equaled. Many authors have come close but none have equaled Rapp. 

    Enemy at the Gates is available now for Pre-Order. Get yours today. 

    I'm "officially" a promoter of this novel as designated by whoever sits on the seleciton committee to pick the "ambassadors". This isnt' the first year I applied to become one, but finally I have the honor and privilege of becoming one of the "Mitch Rapp Ambassador" group.  

     

    Father, you took Vince home long before we would've chosen, but you know why when we don't. I pray you would continue to bless Kyle as he takes up this huge mantle and proceeds with the stories you have for him to tell. Thank you for them all. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.

    "Surely God does not reject a blameless man

         or strengthen the hands of evildoers.

     He will yet fill your mouth with laughter

         and your lips with shouts of joy.

     Your enemies will be clothed in shame,

         and the tents of the wicked will be no more." 

     

    Job 8:20-22 (NIV)

    The cliché tells us "The truth hurts." Yes, at times it certainly does. When something you've believed to be defined in a certain way for a serious amount of time dissolves like dirt in soapy water, it's not only unsettling or humiliating, it can often hurt. When you're betrayed by a friend or someone close to you, the truth of the betrayal cuts like a razor blade. The truth is that there are all kinds of truths that can hurt. 

    However, there are some beautiful truths that when discovered bring joy, happiness, contentment, fulfillment, satisfaction, encouragement, inspiration, redemption, and trust. 

    I do believe there are some who would rather believe something other than the truth if that truth will somehow radically change the life they've chosen for themselves. And because they resent the truth in this particular circumstance, they will deny it, fight it, ignore it, and resolve not to believe it.

    Just because someone doesn't prefer the truth or doesn't like the truth or resents the truth, the truth still remains the same. Firm, factual, final. You can dispute the truth, but it changes nothing about the truth. Truth doesn't bend, it doesn't even break. It stays the same. 

    In the end the plain truth wins.

    John 14:6 

     

    Father, you are the Truth and you display it, make it available, and function solely by it. Thank you for that. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.

    These days . . . filled with fluctuations. Extreme joy – dancing alone in my office – to weeping – driving in my car. Joy v. Sorrow 

    Prayer: sustaining, draining, maintaining, complaining, entertaining, and back to sustaining, draining . . . 

    Heavenly Father, Amazing God, Knower of All things. Rescue us from this evil. Please, Lord. 

    In the Name of Jesus, Amen.

    Just a few days away, the new Romeo will be released. It's Book 6 of 6 so far and one series I look forward to reading. James Scott Bell is one of the wittiest and most clever authors you can ever hope to read. Start at Book 1 of this fabulous "Hard-boiled Mystery/Thriller" set and be entertained all the way through each book. Truly a great series. 

     

    Father, please continue to give James all he requires to tell the stories you've inspired him to tell. So many talents. May he use each one for your glory. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.

         For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, masquerading as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.

     

    2 Corinthians 11:13-15 (NIV)
