I just posted my short letter on AFR.net (American Family Radio) to persecuted Christians in Russia. It was so easy to do and I am hoping that it may help someone who may need a word of encouragement because we can all use that during difficult times in our lives. Remember you can also do this during Feb.12-16, 2024. So get involved!!

If you wish to help support persecuted Christians in Russia, you can help by participating in a letter writing effort that asks you to electronically submit an encouraging note to remind these people that they are not forgotten. This can be done through the American Family Association. Just visit afr.net during February 12-16. Pray over your letter and encourage your friends to participate.

I recently read an interesting article from THE EPOCH TIMES newspaper in which I learned the reason for the deterioration of education in the US. I knew that in the ‘60s that the progressive John Dewey was influential in changing the way children were taught in the public schools. Little did I know his ideas came about as the result of a visit to Russia where he was obviously impressed by their methodology. Upon returning to the US he saw fit to do everything he could to implement those ideas here and do away with the traditional readers like the APPLETON and McGUFFEY PRIMERS which had successfully been used for years and taught children not only how to read but to reason. Thinking his ideas far surpassed the old tried and true strategies, America began a steady decline. Even 10 years ago the OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) which assesses adult competencies every 10 years determined that “more than half of US adults scored in the ‘below basic’ literacy range, reading at lower than an eighth grade level. Only 12 percent of adults can read at the highest literacy level ….” Is it any wonder then that many people today are unable to read and think intuitively which makes us easy pawns — willing to believe everything we HEAR rather than delving into the truth for ourselves???
