Hey, everybody. This is Heidi St. John. Thanks for tuning in. Today is Tuesday, July 14th. This is episode

number 957 of Off the Bench with Heidi St. John. Got a few things to talk about today. Stick around.

I think you'll be encouraged.

So I am very, I'm trying really hard, you guys, I was thinking about this. I was just talking to my husband. We need some encouragement. And the Lord has laid something on my heart and I'm going to throw it out here for you guys today. But first, I'm going to let you know that I, that we've got a lot to be in prayer about here at the homeschool resource center. We have entered into a season of

prayer and fasting for our nation, particularly for our resource center. And we have asked people to

join us in that prayer and join us in fasting. And when I talked about

fasting, what we mean by that is it's something that we choose to give up, that we say,

we're going to give this up so that every time we feel that desire to do it, whether it's

get on social media or have that brownie or eat that meal or whatever it is, God will tell

you what it is he wants you to give up, but that we come

to this season in our nation in an attitude of repentance and in an attitude of prayer. And there are a

lot of things going on right now that are going to require us to be both wise and discerning

and it's serious what's happening.

So yesterday, the governor of California ordered the closure of all indoor activities across

California or most indoor activities.

And he says that coronavirus cases, the rona is just skyrocketing apparently out of control in California. People

must be dying left and right. And of course, he doesn't mention that the testing has increased

dramatically there or any of that. He instead ordered on Monday a halt to interactivities at certain

businesses statewide. And he's a Democrat, right?

I want you guys to remember this.

The Democrats are dangerous.

And this should be D for Democrat and also for dangerous.
