What to do when life knocks you down You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. – Hebrews 10:36 A story is told that Andrew Jackson's boyhood friends just couldn't understand how he became a famous general and then President of the United States. They knew of other men who had greater talent, but never succeeded like little "Andy" did. One of Jackson's friends said, "Why, Jim Brown was not only smarter, but he could beat Andy three times out of four in a wrestling match. But look where Andy is now." Another friend responded, "How did there happen to be a fourth time? Didn't they usually say three times and you're out in wrestling?" "Sure, they were supposed to, but not Andy. He would never admit he was beat. Jim Brown would get tired, and on the fourth try Andy would always beat him." Picking up on that idea, it's been said, "The thing that counts is not how many times you are beat, but whether you are willing to stay that way." In life, you will face setbacks, but what really matters is whether or not you take courage and go forward in faith despite the challenges and even defeats you will encounter. The real battle is the Lord's. So when it comes to facing life's struggles, get back up when you get hit because in Christ, your victory is already won! Prayer Challenge Ask God to give you the strength to get back up when life knocks you down and remind you that your victory is already won!  Visit the Senior Living Ministries website Visit the Senior Living Ministries website The post What to Do When Life Knocks You Down – Senior Living – July 18 appeared first on GodUpdates.

The debate for WNBA Rookie of the Year is officially OVER

Former President Donald Trump has completely rewritten his convention speech in light of the attempt to kill him and will call Thursday night for a new effort at national unity at the Republican National Convention. In an exclusive interview with the Washington Examiner a day after his right ear was grazed by a sniper’s bullet Saturday evening, Trump said he wanted to take advantage of a historic moment and draw the country together. “The speech I was going to give on Thursday was going to be a humdinger,” Trump said. “Had this not happened, this would’ve been one of the most incredible speeches,” aimed mostly at the policies of President Joe Biden. “Honestly, it’s going to be a whole different speech now,” he said. He has switched, Trump said, from a speech meant to excite his voter base to one that demonstrates his belief that the attempted assassination at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, has changed the election campaign entirely. Republicans and Democrats have acknowledged this in the aftermath of the shocking incident. Trump said people all across the country from different walks of life and different political views have called him. He noted that he was saved from death because he turned from the crowd to look at a screen showing data he was using in his speech. “That reality is just setting in,” Trump said. “I rarely look away from the crowd. Had I not done that in that moment, well, we would not be talking today, would we?” Talking as he boarded his plane in Bedminster, New Jersey, for Milwaukee, where the Republican National Convention started Monday and concludes Thursday, Trump said his speech on the final night will meet the moment that history demands. “It is a chance to bring the country together,” he said. “I was given that chance.” Early Sunday morning, Trump posted on Truth Social that it was “God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening” and that he would “fear not.” Again, in talking to the Washington Examiner, he invoked God for his deliverance. “This is a chance to bring the whole country, even the whole world together,” he said. “The speech will be a lot different, a lot different than it would’ve been two days ago.” The Washington Examiner’s interview with Trump had been due to take place on his airplane on the return flight from the Pennsylvania rally to Bedminster, New Jersey. That arrangement put this reporter just feet from Trump when he was shot. Trump hailed Corey Comperatore, the former fire chief who was shot and killed at the rally, and two other supporters, David Dutch and James Copenhaver, who were wounded and are recovering at a local hospital. Trump said his decision to raise a fists when the Secret Service was leading him offstage was to let the people there know he was OK “and that America goes on, we go forward, that we are strong,” he said. Photographs of him holding his fist in the air, blood streaming across his face as Secret Service agents surround him, already have become iconic images of the 2024 election. If he speaks in Milwaukee of uniting the country, it would echo President Ronald Reagan, who, in 1981, projected strength as he, too, recovered from wounds (far graver than Trump’s) inflicted by a would-be assassin in Washington, D.C. Trump said when he stood up and saw the crowd had not moved, he needed to tell them that he and the country were going to be all right. “The energy coming from the people there in that moment, they just stood there. It’s hard to describe what that felt like, but I knew the world was looking. I knew that history would judge this, and I knew I had to let them know we are OK.” COPYRIGHT 2024 CREATORS.COM The post Trump Rewrites Republican Convention Speech to Focus on Unity, Not Biden appeared first on The Daily Signal.

Following the failed assassination attempt against him over the weekend, former President Trump wanted the messaging of the Republican National Convention to adopt a message that was more unifying for the country. Of course, the likes of MSNBC wouldn’t be happy with any Republican messaging but they particularly didn’t appreciate the messaging of Wednesday’s Night Three when signs reading “mass deportation now” were handed out. The liberal outlet was aghast despite the fact a near super majority of American voters supported it. “Rachel I think the story of this convention so far can actually be told in some measure through the signs that have been handed out. The campaign hands out signs every night and the messaging has changed somewhat,” report Jacob Soboroff explained to co-host Rachel Maddow. He held up a series of signs to show the progression of the unifying messages, getting a shocked exclamation from Maddow on the last one: SOBOROFF: So, “make America strong again,” one of the first ones to come out. “American oil from American soil,” theme of a previous evening and a little bit tonight. “Trump Vance,” when they announced the vice presidential pick. But tonight, the idea of issues that are going to unify the country sort of went out the window; “mass deportation now.” MADDOW: Oh my god. Wow. “In all seriousness, Rachel. It is part of the policy platform of this convention to create the largest deportation effort in American history. That’s verbatim,” he lamented.     After alluding to 1954’s Operation Wetback, “a name that is so offence and racist I can’t – I'm not comfortable saying it on television,” Soboroff warned: “The program that’s being proposed the Trump administration would be far bigger than that, bigger than anything we’ve seen and bigger that anything in the first Trump term.” But while MSNBC was clutching their pearls and suggesting the Trump campaign was not living up to the promise of being unify with their “mass deportation now” messaging, a recent CBS News/YouGov poll showed it represented a large majority of registered voters, nearly a super majority. In June, polling found 62 percent were in favor of mass deportations of “all undocumented immigrants.” “That isn't purely partisan, it includes a third of Democrats,” CBS wrote. Adding: “A similarly sized majority would have local law enforcement try to identify those living in the U.S. illegally, and just under half support the idea of setting up large government detention centers to sort out which people ought to be deported.” It’s also worth noting that Soboroff’s immigration reporting was at the center of a $30 million defamation suit against MSNBC.

The campaign hands out signs every night and the messaging has changed somewhat. And I think that when we came in, in the wake of the assassination attempt on former President Trump. I’m just going to go through them with you. I’m going to hold them up. So, “make America strong again,” one of the first ones to come out. “American oil from American soil,” theme of a previous evening and a little bit tonight. “Trump Vance,” when they announced the vice presidential pick. But tonight, the idea of issues that are going to unify the country sort of went out the window; “mass deportation now.” RACHEL MADDOW: Oh my god. Wow. SOBOROFF: And I have shared this sign with some of my colleagues and I was actually going to give it back – because there is a woman, I'm not even joking, who said she wants to bring this home with her. I want to make sure I give it to her. Hold on for one second. Excuse me for one second. Ma'am, here is your sign, I promised I was going to give it back to you. Thank you. [Maddow lets out a snarky laugh] In all seriousness, Rachel. It is part of the policy platform of this convention to create the largest deportation effort in American history. That’s verbatim. And I know you, as a student of history, and forgive me to our viewers who might've heard me talk about this earlier in the evening, but for those tuning in at this late hour, I just I want to say, in 1954 after the Bracero Program where many Mexican guest workers were brought into this country, the Eisenhower administration deported, under an operation with a name that is so offence and racist I can’t – I'm not comfortable saying it on television, deported around 1 million Mexicans including some Mexican Americans. The program that’s being proposed the Trump administration would be far bigger than that, bigger than anything we’ve seen and bigger that anything in the first Trump term. And now, these are the issues that are coming up here. We heard from Peter Navarro tonight, who had a more rapturous, rousing ovation from anyone else I've heard, and said things like there’s blood on the hands of Alejandro Mayorkas. So, I heard Stephanie talking about it from the floor earlier. I just want to sort of throw may hat in the ring and say that the tone has changed considerably tonight (…)
