Declare with me
November 13, 2026
I declare that Jesus Christ is King, risen, reigning, and Lord over all. His throne is established forever. His authority does not depend on the approval of men, the outcome of elections, or the strength of nations.
I belong to Him. I have been delivered from the domain of darkness and brought into the kingdom of God’s beloved Son. My life is hidden with Christ in God. I am redeemed by His blood, clothed in His righteousness, and sealed by His Spirit. (Colossians 1:13-14; 3:3; Ephesians 1:13)
I am receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken. Therefore, I will worship with gratitude, reverence, and awe. When the world trembles, my foundation holds. When fear speaks, God’s Word remains true. When circumstances change, my King remains faithful. (Hebrews 12:28)
I will not confuse earthly turmoil with heavenly defeat. Jesus has overcome the world. He is building His church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it. He must reign until every enemy is placed beneath His feet. (John 16:33; Matthew 16:18; 1 Corinthians 15:25)
By His grace, I will seek His kingdom first, pursue His righteousness, love my enemies, speak truth, and remain faithful in the work He has given me. My labor in the Lord is not in vain. (Matthew 6:33; 5:44; 1 Corinthians 15:58)
My hope rests in the crucified and risen Christ. Even in suffering, I belong to Him. Even in death, His promise holds. Nothing can separate me from the love of God in Christ Jesus my Lord. (Romans 8:35-39)
Jesus is King. His kingdom is unshakable. His purposes will stand. His glory will fill the earth.
To Him be the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever.
Amen

Heavenly Father,
Bless us and keep us. Make Your face shine upon us and be gracious to us. Lift Your countenance upon us and give us peace (Numbers 6:24-26).
Strengthen us with power through Your Spirit, so that Christ may dwell in our hearts through faith. Root us deeply in Your love, and help us grasp how wide, long, high, and deep the love of Christ truly is (Ephesians 3:16-19).
Establish the work of our hands. Give us wisdom for every decision, integrity in every responsibility, and generosity with everything You entrust to us. Make us a blessing to the people You place in our path (Psalm 90:17; James 1:5; 1 Peter 4:10).
Let Your Word dwell richly in our homes. Teach us to forgive as You have forgiven us, to speak with grace, and to put on love, which binds everything together in harmony (Colossians 3:12-16).
May the God of hope fill us with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit we may abound in hope. Whatever this day holds, keep our hearts faithful and our eyes fixed on Jesus (Romans 15:13; Hebrews 12:2).
In Jesus’ name, amen.

Heavenly Father,
Thank You for another morning. Before we focus on our phones or start carrying the weight of the day, help us remember that every breath is a gift from You.
Your mercies are new this morning. We come to You through Jesus, grateful that we can bring You our whole lives, including the parts we’re still struggling to surrender.
You know what’s waiting for us today. Give us wisdom for the decisions ahead and patience when things don’t go according to plan. Where we’ve been anxious, help us bring our concerns to You and trust Your care.
Keep us from being so occupied with what comes next that we overlook the person in front of us. Help us listen carefully, speak graciously, and do the good we already know to do.
Father, we place this day in Your hands. Make us faithful with the life You’ve given us beginning right now.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
I apologize in advance to our more delicate followers. We must never forget the lovelies.
That said, I tried to find a less intense angle of the events that unfolded but Rascal's bodycam was the only remaining functioning camera at his street position that night.
The broader story is as old as time. Western self loathing and misunderstanding of its place and noblesse oblige stirred up in the same communistic cauldron as envy and third world avarice. The more narrow story of how and why Rascal was in France and how he managed to let any of those thugs bloody him up in the first place will have to be a story for another time.
RASCAL IS FINE. Our people were able to get to him before he was overwhelmed. He claims he had things under control but he also does not seem to stoked that I have video that argues otherwise. He is stable and even making jokes with the nurses on site at a location that will remain undisclosed.
He did say this: "Hey JD, givem' the new CZ Duty 4.0 F 9mm, it sure did the job and I really had not even had that much time behind it before things got spicy. Oh, and make sure to tell @SummRidge thanks, as always."
"What are you doing in France, and when did you even leave?!" I asked, mildly frustrated.
"Oh, sorry ol boy, that's Geneviève after me, says I need a fresh wrap, gotta go!" He said and quickly hung up.
... Well, there ya have it, my friends. This week is the new CZ. I will include more images and info below.
*sidenote: Yes I notice that Rascal must have some unique model not available to the regular creature. It would appear to have some mechanism or feature uncommon to semi auto pistols that Rascal actuates prior to firing and it seems the pistol can also shoot off center if that is, in fact, where the assailant is, go figure *🤷♂️
Goodluck,
Godspeed,
Keep Going,
& Paris When It Sizzles...
