It is 37 degrees, but a carafe of hot black coffee, flannel PJs, a snoozing pup on my lap, and a couple of blankets make for a snuggly-sweet chance to see the moon sink behind the mountains. A rare treat, as the morning will not be this dark with a sinking moon at 7am for another year. I dare not miss it. My mind quietly wanders as I take in the view.<\/p>\n

Chilly Octobers. Starry nights. Beautiful moons. A memory of my mother-in-law, more than 20 years ago.<\/p>\n

She was with us on that clear starry Friday night, watching a baseball game, eating fried chicken, laughing, and enjoying the evening. The next morning, she suffered a devastating stroke. She lost her ability to move her arms and legs. She couldn’t speak. But in the days to follow, she could speak one word. One name. Jesus<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

I would pray with her.
\n<\/b>She would just pray that one word: Jesus.
\n<\/b>It seemed to be enough.<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"Declaring<\/p>\n

\n

Call on His Name<\/h2>\n

Elohim … “Father God;” Yahweh … “God Provides;” Adonai … “Lord God;” El Shaddai<\/a> … “He is almighty.”
\nOn this day, I vow to quietly call on the many names of God<\/a>; for the protection of our country and for the ones I call family and friends. And I will persist throughout the long days and nights ahead.<\/p>\n

\n

In 2 Chronicles 7:14, God<\/a> tells us, \u201cIf my people, which are called by MY NAME, <\/i>shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, <\/i>and will heal their land.”<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As a country, we can call on the King of Glory. Our Redeemer. Counselor. Everlasting Father. Lion of Judah. Light of the World. Wherever you are today, join me in calling out to God!<\/h3>\n
