When current events are too depressing…
When the gaslighting threatens my sanity…
When family and personal concerns weigh on me…
When it’s all just too overwhelming…
I skip all the news and social media sites and head to one of these instead ~
• “Understanding the Times” ~ from Olive Tree Ministries. Live radio(and internet) broadcast with Jan Markell, Saturday mornings 9:00 to 10:00 am. Archives HERE.
• Line of Fire Radio ~ Radio broadcasts with a Messianic perspective from Dr. Michael Brown. Live show (from Charlotte, NC) M-F from 2:00 to 4:00 pm – you can listen live on the site. Previous broadcasts available online. I particularly enjoyed last week’s “10 Reasons to be encouraged.”
• Ann Barnhardt ~ words of wisdom from someone who seriously walks the talk
• Mark Levin ~ my favorite radio guy, brilliantly defending liberty, the constitution and the civil society. Listen live or catch up on previous shows.
• Church Militant ~ valuable source of video programming; Catholic – but also small “c” catholic
• Samaritan’s Purse ~ inspiring stories of Christian faith in action
What I’ve found in each of these resources is a courageous confidence, unwavering faith, and an allegiance to an authority higher than anything man can put in place. Each in their own way provides a comforting reminder that man’s ways are fickle; but God’s are eternal. And no matter what difficulties we happen to be facing – individually or collectively – they’re only transitory. In the end God is in charge, and all He asks is that we do our best, and place our trust in Him to provide.
It’s so encouraging to read/listen to others out there in cyberspace who understand, live and communicate these transcendent truths.
They all help save my sanity – maybe yours too. 
Lord, You have been our dwelling place in all generations.
Before the mountains were brought forth,
Or ever you had formed the earth and the world,
Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.
Psalm 90:1-2
