Scandal WaterThe True Crime Book “Killers of the Flower Moon” and the 2023 Film It InspiredRoughly 100 years ago, in Oklahoma, dozens of Osage people were murdered in cold blood in an attempt to steal their wealth and land.

John Wayne brought more than 150 characters to life on film, but it was his turn as the pot-bellied, heavy-drinking, eye-patch-wearing U.S. Marshall Rooster Cogburn in “True Grit” that earned him his only Oscar.

Go West Young ManI Got More Than The Obvious!The paralytic obtained more than the obvious, he received #forgiveness from Jesus. Of course #healing took place, but what a #marvelous thing when someone is forgiven. The #critics will always find something to argue about, and to challenge the #traditional status quo. They overlooked a paralytic being set free from the #bondage of sin because it was more important to keep the law. Having compassion is an #amazing thing and this what we see here. So get up, pick up your stretcher, and live a life of abundance in Christ. #pandemic #gwym #GoWestYoungMan #faith #trust #hope #forgiveness2021-01-0415 min
