To no one's surprise, 83% of white evangelical voters backed President Donald Trump in 2024, consistent with voting patterns in recent decades. The news, this time, was that Cooperative Election Study numbers indicated that Trump's support rose among non-white evangelicals and Catholics. He even won 55% of the votes from mainline Protestants. kAm%96 G@E6C 32D6 7@C ':46 !C6D:56?E z2>2=2 w2CC:D 4@F=5 36 56D4C:365 2D Qq=24< !C@E6DE2?ED Z 2E96:DED[Q HC@E6 A@=:E:42= D4:6?E:DE #J2? qFC86 @7 t2DE6C?

Do you know the TV show, “The Price is Right?” I did some research. This game show first aired from 1956 to 1965, and was then brought back again in 1972. It is still running today, over 50 years later. The Price is Right is one of the longest running shows on television. That may be a surprising way to start a devotion. However, please consider how the contest works. Contestants have to figure out the retail price of an item and compete against other contestants to see whose guess is the closest.

Now's the time to get that garden going

Confession: I’m not much of a gardener. I try, but I’m only able to get a few things — cucumbers, green onions, tomatoes, etc. — to grow reliably to ripeness so that they end up on my family’s menu. A lot of the stuff I’ve tried either dies off before it’s ready even if I treat the soil the way my sources recommend, or gets eaten by bugs despite my best efforts to protect it with “safe” pesticides. kAm(96?
