Proceedings Podcast Ep. 285: Gorbachev and Reagan

This is a YouTube of a podcast by the U.S. Naval Institute.  This podcast discusses a book by Major Benjamin Griffin, titled Reagan's War Stories: A Cold War Presidency.  The podcast is about Reagan and Gorbachev.  The relationship they maintained, after they met in Geneva in 1985.  Bill Hamblet is the host.  He interviews Mr. Griffin.  Griffin focused a lot on SDI, popularly known as "Star Wars".  They speak about the Great Communicator, President Ronald Reagan.  When Reagan died, Gorbachev visits Reagan's funeral, and gave his casket a pat.  This caused a stir.  The podcast goes into the break up of the Soviet Union.  How Gorbachev was a failure, but that according to Griffin, he failed in ways that helped out.  Putin didn't attend the funeral.  The corruption in the Soviet Union was so corrupt that it collapsed, according to Hamblet and that Putin's Russia is also corrupt.  His legacy is that he was the last Soviet Leader, and his goal was not lining his own pockets.  Unlike what people say of Putin.  That Putin is lining his own pockets with the Russian Oligarchs.  There was a skit about Reagan and the Iran Contra mentioned.  Which is really just fake news.  But i thought i would mention it, it is available on YouTube.

The Messiah Comes

 My friends, brothers, and sisters.  Shalom.  JESUS is truthful.  JESUS saves.  JESUS is our Lord, Savior, and Friend.  He fulfilled the law.  So, that we will not be judged, you see by the law, but we will be judged by the Blood of JESUS.  The blood saves us, and makes us clean, before the Father.  We need to believe in JESUS to be saved.  Each of us will give an account to GOD.  BUT when we call on JESUS we will be saved.   I feel like I am in a prison, of hostility from a certain person.  I consider this, my thorn in the side.  For some reason, they will not even let me apologize.  I must honor this, because I said, "Thy will be done".  Never tell a woman, this.  Because there is a false teaching going about, that women do not need a savior- do not need JESUS.  Let me tell you, that JESUS went to women- if women did not need JESUS, He would not have gone to the woman at the well.  JESU...

Wear Masks and Social Distance

 Hi.  I am worn out like everyone else.  But we need to keep going.  We need to continue to wear masks and social distance.  These are the safety measures provided us to make it through the COVID pandemic.  The CDC is the authority yes, but that authority has already taught us what we need to do in order to make it through the pandemic. I woke up this morning and felt compelled to write "continue to wear masks and social distance". Over Memorial Day weekend.  My brother and two sisters went to San Marcos for the weekend.  I think they had a  nice adventure.  The first picture they showed on there Facebook, it looked like nothing was there.  But as they went along they showed pictures of the river, and more than one coffee place.  William, Elizabeth, and Meagan have several portrait photos of themselves.  They were smiling and happy.
