Today, we're talking about a Senate shakeup, Cinderella stories at the World Cup, more Twitter

files and other top news for Monday, December 12th. Stay informed while remaining focused

on Christ with the pourover. Here's the quote of the day.

Our prayers can go where we cannot. There are no borders, no prison walls, no doors that

are closed to us when we pray. Brother Andrew.

Let's start with some espresso shots.

Cinema has left the chat of Democratic Senators.

The Arizona Senator declared she's becoming an independent just days after Dem secured

a 51-49 Senate lead. Other than the letter after her name, Cinema insists that not much

will change. She was already known as Bit of a Rogue Vote, siding with Republicans on

topics like taxes while voting with Democrats on things like LGBTQ rights and gun control.

Cinema says the switch will help her avoid the partisan structure of the Senate and better

represent her and her constituents saying, I have never fit perfectly in either National

Party. However, critics say the move is tied to her personal political career. As an

independent, Cinema can skip a potentially close Democratic primary and go straight

to the general election in 2024.

Our goal is to keep the big things big and the small things small. It's not the politicians

and our political parties aren't important, they're just not God of the universe important.

They focused on eternity, it changes everything.

Colossians 3, verse 2 through 4 says, set your mind on things above, not on earthly things.

For you died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life,

appears then you will also appear with him in glory.
