This past Friday was one for the records! I stayed glued to T.V. thinking every minute it couldn’t get any worse, but it did! My heart went out to Judge Britt Kavanaugh. I don't know, in our history as a nation, that anyone has been put through what he had to endure. He has been criticized for coming back with harsh words. How could he not be upset? Tears filled my eyes when he told about, at a family prayer time, his 10-year-old daughter said “we should pray for that woman.”
“Let’s do a background check on all members of Congress. Let’s see who is left standing?”
A friend of Dr. Christine Ford has posted “Christine Blasey Ford was a classmate of mine at UNC. We graduated in 1988. I want to ask her if she remembers partying at Trolls, drinking at He’s Not Here, hooking up with guys at Henderson Street and eating at Time Out. Remember those days Christine? Tell us about them!”
Dr. Ford has numerous “Go Fund Me Accounts” that have collected over $700,000 and is still active in receiving gifts.
Ashley, Kavanaugh’s wife, is from Abilene Texas. She has sent out the following request. “To The Prayer Warriors. Christian friends and family please pray Psalms 40 over my family and also pray this for this Nation.”
“We’ve got to pray, take a stand and vote or we’re going to lose this country!” (Franklin Grahan)
