A quiet prayer opens into a frank talk on priorities: why spare time exposes what we worship, how daily habits build intimacy in marriage, and why Scripture—not shifting culture—must lead. We read Hebrews 3, rejoice in Psalm 104’s order, honor a forgotten hero, and examine Maryland’s 1776 charter.

• carving time for God and spouse as a daily practice
• resisting cultural pressure to edit Scripture
• Hebrews 3 on Christ above Moses and warning against unbelief
• Psalm 104’s picture of ordered creation and human rhythm
• Proverbs 26 on actions revealing true character
• Medal of Honor story of Willibald Bianchi and reordering our honor
• Maryland 1776 constitution on faith, office, and public order
• resources for study and family reading, plus support link
• closing prayer and blessing for families and nations

• rethinking what we call necessary
• Colossians 3 on marriage and family roles
• Hebrews 2 on drift, death, and deliverance
• Psalm 103 on mercy, forgiveness, and praise

We call for urgent, practical faith—read Scripture daily, pray, and reorder priorities toward eternity—while pressing into the meaning of “cleave” in marriage and the unchanging supremacy of Christ. History, Psalms, Proverbs, and a Medal of Honor story ground courage, character, and culture.

• gratitude and prayer for everyday gifts and first responders
• urgency about time, death and eternal priorities
• marriage as covenantal cleaving, not casual closeness
• Hebrews 1 on Christ’s radiance, authority and immutability
• Psalm 102 for lament and hope, Proverbs 26 against quarrels and rumors
• Arthur O. Beyer’s courage reshaping the battlefield
• founders urging daily Bible reading and Scripture in education
• culture shifts versus God’s steady truth
• practical steps to read, pray and pursue your spouse
