Hutchinson, who said during an early April interview on ABC’s This Week that he would run for president, first highlighted the role the city of Bentonville, Arkansas, has had in shaping who he is and his career– from his first law office to building the city’s first FM radio station to serving as Bentonville’s City Attorney and starting a family...

From Wiki : "The film is based on the 2017 book Devotion: An Epic Story of Heroism, Friendship, and Sacrifice by Adam Makos, which retells the comradeship between naval officers Jesse Brown and Tom Hudner during the Korean War."

For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head: for the child shall be a Nazarite unto God from the womb: and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines. Judges 13:5The Angel of the LORD commanded that Samson should be under a Nazarite vow from his conception,(which is why his mother was put under the same vow in pregnancy). iN order to understand this, we must look at the Law of the Nazarite in Numbers 6. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the...

First Friday Devotion “Behold this Heart which has so loved men that it has spared nothing, even to exhausting and consuming itself in order to testify to its love! And in return, I receive from the greater part only ingratitude, by their irreverence and sacrilege, and by the coldness and contempt they have for Me in this Sacrament of Love. … “I feel this more than all that I suffered during My Passion.

First Saturday Devotion “Look, My daughter, at My Heart, surrounded with thorns with which ungrateful men pierce Me at every moment by their blasphemies and ingratitude. Do you, at least, try to console Me and announce in My name that I promise to assist at the moment of death, with all the graces necessary for salvation, all those who, on the first Saturday of five consecutive months shall confess, receive Holy Communion, recite five decades of the Rosary, and keep Me company for fifteen minutes while meditating on the fifteen mysteries of the Rosary, with the intention of making reparation...

Wisdom From Oswald Chambers Is He going to help Himself to your life, or are you taken up with your conception of what you are going to do? God is responsible for our lives, and the one great keynote is reckless reliance upon Him. Visions Becoming Reality ____________________________________________________ The parched ground shall become a pool… —Isaiah 35:7 ____________________________________________________ We always have a vision of something before it actually becomes real to us. When we realize that the vision is real, but is not yet real in us, Satan comes to us with his temptations, and we are inclined to say...

The Mystery of Believing He said, "Who are You, Lord?" ACTS 9:5 Through the miracle of redemption, Saul of Tarsus was instantly changed from a strong-willed and forceful Pharisee into a humble and devoted bondservant of the Lord Jesus. There is nothing miraculous or mysterious about the things we can explain. We control what we are able to explain, consequently it is only natural to seek an explanation for everything. It is not natural to obey, yet it is not necessarily sinful to disobey. There can be no real disobedience, nor any moral virtue in obedience, unless a person recognizes...

When I first heard about the Divine Mercy Chaplet, I thought it was ridiculous.That was in the year 2000, when St. Pope John Paul II canonized St. Faustina and granted universal observance of the Feast of Divine Mercy annually on the Second Sunday of Easter. Up to that point, I’d never heard of Divine Mercy, nor did I know much about chaplets in general. So, I knew nothing about the Divine Mercy Chaplet.We have the Rosary; why do we need anything else? I thought to myself.I figured one bead-related devotion was plenty. The Blessed Mother herself had given the devotion...

♥MAY 14 MORNING ♥The fellowship of His sufferings. ♥It is enough for the disciple that he be as His master, and the servant as his Lord. ♥He is despised and rejected of men; a Man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and we hid as it were our faces from Him; He was despised, and we esteemed Him not. ♥In the world ye shall have tribulation. ♥Because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. ♥I looked for some to take pity, but there was none. ♥At...

♥EVENING MAY 13 ♥My heart pants, my strength fails me. ♥Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. ♥He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.
