On December 19th Electors Cast Votes!

Radio Commentary, 90.7, 91.7 New Life FM, December 2, 2016 – By Sue Ella Deadwyler

If you thought the election was tough, you should be GLAD you’re not an elector from Georgia. They’re being hammered with emails and calls, begging them to betray Georgia voters and cast their ballots for ANYBODY but Trump.

Harassment shifted into overdrive when leaflets that were passed out at anti-Trump rallies gave the names, addresses and contact information for 16 Republican electors who say they will NOT “flip” for Hillary.

Protesters have been down-right ugly to one Georgia elector. They stole two Trump signs out of her yard and smeared her front door with mud and dirt. Thankfully, they didn’t key her vehicle with profanity about Trump, which they did to her neighbor’s car, but all of them are being deluged with harassing emails and telephone calls, with some from outside Georgia.

Of the 16 electors selected by the Georgia Republican Party, one was replaced after declaring he would not support Trump. Since the alternate’s name was not immediately published, he won’t have as much harassment to endure. Continue reading

Thanks Be to God!

Radio Commentary, 90.7, 91.7 New Life FM, November 25, 2016 – By Sue Ella Deadwyler

Whether your Thanksgiving dinner was turkey and all the trimmings or a bologna sandwich, you should thank God you ate it in the United States of America, because this is a special country, which has been, especially, blessed.

Most of those blessings can be traced back to the beginning of this great country when the Founding Fathers honored God in the document that has become the world’s oldest written constitution. Of the original 13 colonies, only Rhode Island refused to participate in the 1787 Constitutional Convention, when 55 delegates from the other twelve colonies hammered out the governmental structure that formed the 13 colonies into one union.

Among the delegates were 31 lawyers, 19 military veterans, 28 former congressmen, two college presidents, three college professors, several doctors and scientists, and a surprising nine from foreign countries. The Bible was the chief source of their education; all but four belonged to mainstream religious congregations; and in their personal writings, 34 percent of their quotations were from the Bible.

A major part of their work was the Declaration of Independence, which sets forth the basic ideals of the United States and is the true preamble to the Constitution. The Declaration refers to God five times: God as Creator of all men, God as supreme Lawmaker, God as the Source of all rights, God as the world’s supreme Judge, and God as our Patron and Protector.

Where Did Religious Freedom Go?

Radio Commentary, 90.7, 91.7 New Life FM, November 18, 2016 – By Sue Ella Deadwyler

For years, large sections of the United States, including the state of Georgia, were known as the Bible Belt, but things are a-changin’ and religious freedom has been targeted for extinction, even in the Bible Belt.

On Monday, October 3rd, Henry County teachers at East Lake Elementary School received this memo: “You are hereby directed to remove all items which contain religious symbols, such as crosses, printed Bibles, angels, Bible verses, printed prayers, and biblical quotations from the common areas, hallways, classrooms, and office of East Lake Elementary School.”

A Henry County Schools spokesman defending those instructions said, “That is a federal law that we’re abiding by. We just sent out these reminders and things to be aware of and we’ve been doing that for the past two decades.” Since all the prohibited symbols are Christian and the prohibited quotations are from the Bible, parents in Henry County should require the local school board to amend the memo to prohibit other religious symbols, such as hijabs, burkas, and prayer rugs and quotes from the Quran, or rescind the prohibition against Christian symbols.

On October 26th, a press conference was held at the Georgia capitol to announce that Dr. Eric Walsh would not hand over his sermons to the state that had served him with legal papers demanding that he give state officials copies of his sermon notes and transcripts. Soon after the press conference, the state rescinded the demand that should never have been issued. Continue reading

The Sleeping Giant Woke Up

Radio Commentary, 90.7, 91.7 New Life FM, November 11, 2016 – By Sue Ella Deadwyler

This week we witnessed a first-class, last-minute miracle by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who demonstrated such absolute precision that only He could have pulled it off.

There has never been an election like the one we just had, and there might never be another one like it. The previous voting record set when 3.9 million ballots were cast in 2008 was broken Tuesday, as 74 percent of Georgia’s 6.6 million registered voters went to the polls. When all votes were counted in Georgia, Donald Trump had received 2,068,623 (51.3 %) to Hillary Clinton’s 1,837,300 (45.6 %), an outcome that stunned those who thought Clinton’s election was inevitable, but encouraged those who believe Trump is the “last hope for America!” The numbers are firm and Clinton conceded, but the count won’t be official until the state canvass is certified.

At age 70, Donald Trump is the oldest person elected to a first term as President of the United States. When he’s inaugurated January 20, 2017, he will be 70 years, seven months and seven days old, according to the Jewish calendar. I mention that, because the number seven is spiritually significant in Christianity and Judaism. Continue reading
