UPON THIS ROCK: Allison Durham Speer (Live)
We believe that this is by far the most beautiful and moving rendition of “Upon This Rock”
Here are the lyrics:
Upon this Rock
When others see with earthly eyes
Just what they want to see
You will see the things that never die.
You will know and recognize.
by simple, childlike faith
The priceless truth that others will deny.
When others say, I’m just a man.
Who liked to dream his dreams,
When others call a miracle, a myth,
You’ll listen for eternity.
in moments as they pass
And see with spirit eyes what others miss.
Upon this Rock, I’ll build my kingdom,
upon this Rock, forever and ever it shall stand.
And all the powers of Hell itself
Shall never more prevail against it,
For Satan’s thrones are built on sinking sand.
Upon this Rock, I’ll build my kingdom.
And on this Rock, forever and ever it shall stand.
Upon this Rock of revelation
I’ll build a strong and mighty nation.
And it shall stand the storms of time, upon this rock.
If in a simple carpenter
You see the son of God.
If You will choose to lose when You could win.
If You will give Your life away
for nothing in return,
Then You are where my kingdom will begin
Upon this Rock, I’ll build my kingdom.
upon this Rock, forever and ever it shall stand.
And all the powers of Hell itself
Shall never more prevail against it,
For Satan’s thrones are built on sinking sand.
Upon this Rock, I’ll build my kingdom.
And on this Rock, forever and ever it shall stand.
Upon this Rock of revelation
I’ll build a strong and mighty nation.
And it shall stand the storms of time.
Upon this Rock,
Upon this Rock of revelation
I’ll build a strong and mighty nation.
And it shall stand the storms of time.
Upon this rock, I’ll build my church.
Upon this Rock,
On Christ the Solid Rock I stand, upon this Rock!
HALLELUJAH!!

DESPICABLE: Korean War Veteran Forced Out of NYC Living Facility Now Housing Illegal Aliens
From breitbart.com
Frank Tammaro, a 95-year-old veteran of the Korean War, is among many senior citizens who lived at the Island Shores assisted living facility in Staten Island, New York, until months ago, when he and others were told they had to leave.
Now, the facility is operating as a shelter for border crossers and illegal aliens after the nonprofit Homes for the Homeless entered into a “shady deal” with Mayor Eric Adams (D) under his administration’s expansive shelter initiatives that have put migrants up, for free, in luxury hotels, among other places, according to Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY).
Malliotakis said that less than a year ago, she was notified that Homes for the Homeless was looking to close Island Shores. She and other elected officials sought to stop the facility’s closure by finding a new owner but were ignored.
“Island Shores refused to speak with us and, as a matter of fact, we had a couple of parties that may have been interested … they told us to reach out to Homes for the Homeless and we were stonewalled,” Malliotakis said:
Next thing we know, March, senior citizens like this veteran who is a Korean War veteran, 95 years old, were kicked out of that facility … a place they enjoyed living … we know that our senior citizens need to live an active lifestyle. [Emphasis added]
Fast forward just a few months after they were kicked out, Homes for the Homeless enters a shady deal with the city of New York to turn the facility into a migrant shelter. I’ll tell you my blood pressure went through the roof when I found out this happened. [Emphasis added]
Tammaro said, “it was very disgraceful what they did to the people in Island Shores” because seniors were given short notice of when they had to leave and find a new home. If not for his family, Tammaro said he would have been out on the street.
“I thought my suitcases were going to be on the curb because I’m not that fast,” Tammaro said. “If it weren’t for my daughter, they would have been on the curb. That’s what happened and that was it. I said, ‘No, no, no, no you’re not moving me’ and they said ‘Yes, yes, yes we are.’ Everything was done behind closed doors, we didn’t have a chance to make any attempt to stop them.”
Malliotakis said she wants answers, including when Homes for the Homeless began negotiations with Adams to turn the facility into a migrant shelter, how much the nonprofit is being paid to house migrants, and where every senior citizen now resides after being forced out of Island Shores.
“If they were going to enter any deal, it should have been to preserve this assisted living facility,” she continued. “Don’t use our tax dollars to house citizens of other countries who illegally entered the border … to throw out these senior citizens and veterans and then turn around for this lucrative deal.”
Malliotakis also demanded Homes for the Homeless be investigated.
As Breitbart News has chronicled, Adams has used illegal immigration to New York City to funnel millions in local taxpayer dollars to the powerful real estate and hotel industry, as well as non-governmental organizations.
Months ago, for instance, records showed that New Yorkers were being charged daily hotel rates that were well above the market rate. The Holiday Inn in Manhattan’s Financial District had been raking in $190 a night per room given to newly arrived migrants — a 73 percent increase in its rate.
The hotel is expected to receive $10.5 million under its contract with the city. The Row Hotel in Times Square, housing hundreds of migrants, is expected to take in close to $100 million from taxpayers via its city contract. source
This goes WAY beyond Evil!

PARENTS: The Last 79 Colleges Still Mandating Covid Vaccines
I pray that the readers will send this info to friends and family. This kind of information is crucial to families whose child is making plans for college and refuses to take the Covid kill shots!
From zerohedge.com
No College Mandates, an advocacy group that argues against the Covid-19 vaccine for higher education, counts 79 colleges and universities that require their students to be vaccinated this fall semester.
“There are 79 colleges in the US still mandating COVID vaccines when there should be zero just like the rest of the world. Do Not Comply!” No College Mandates posted on X.
The advocacy group said “COVID injections for one of the lowest risk populations” is “insanity.” They added higher education has “zero efficacy and safety data for the the newly approved COVID injections. It is incomprehensible that this remains a reality.”
Many of these schools mandating Covid vaccines are situated in or around Democratic-controlled metro areas (map courtesy of X user Broken Truth).
No College Mandates states on their website:
“It is the fundamental right of each individual to freely choose which medical interventions to receive based on informed consent. Neither sufficient clinical trail data for young adults nor long-term safety data exist for these recently developed and novel vaccines. Because the coercive nature of college vaccine mandates completely disregards students’ individual freedom and right to bodily autonomy, we strongly believe that these mandates are unconstitutional, unethical, unscientific and undoubtedly contributing to the psychological distress and the staggering rise in mental health issues among young adults. Institutions of higher learning which impose vaccine mandates do not uphold the very civil rights and liberties they teach and purport to vehemently defend.”
If you are curious about which colleges have lifted mandates, the group has published a spreadsheet listing those institutions (read: here). source
