Life is short, and we have limited time to make a difference and fulfill our purpose on Earth with the Holy Spirit.
The lifespan of a pet is even shorter. While some may question the impact a loving pet can have by simply existing, they offer the priceless gift of unconditional love.
Love—whether from pets, family, friends, or fellow travelers on this wondrous journey of life—is what truly matters. It sustains us and provides warmth against the cold, harsh realities of life's tragedies, trials, and tribulations.
As we struggle to overcome life's challenges, we are often blessed with encounters with heroes who confront the injustices and harms that threaten us, particularly the most vulnerable among us: our children and young people.
Today, a group of heroic survivors of Epstein and Maxwell has spoken out, leading the charge to protect children and young people from becoming future victims of sexual violations, violence, molestation, and irreparable harm.
Thank you for your bravery.
I also want to express my gratitude to the political leaders who stand with survivors of sexual abuse to prevent further victimization and exploitation of individuals, especially children and young teens.
It is not easy to come forward and speak out, particularly in today's polarized climate, where issues from environmental concerns to storms and vaccines can be weaponized for political gain or loss.
In this environment, Americans seem to have forgotten how to be neighborly and supportive during times of need.
Though we may sometimes find ourselves on different sides of various issues, we are still united under one flag: the flag of the United States of America, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
Let us remember our purpose in life with the Holy Spirit and answer the call to protect children and young people from sexual harm.
I urge you to support the Epstein Files Transparency Act and future legislation that protects against sexual exploitation, violence, and desecration of the Temple of the Holy Spirit.
Thank you.
