Difficult, life altering changes can be especially traumatic for a young person. Without compassionate and wise encouragement during such a time of emotional displacement, young people often become angry and bitter. And if he or she were a professed believer in God prior to having their whole world turned upside down, profound doubts about His love frequently replace any affection they might have felt towards the Almighty.
In Fresh Flowers the protagonist, Ben Hawkins, comes to grips with massive changes in his life with unusual and extraordinary help from the Lord and a caring group of strangers.
Fresh Flowers is based largely on real events in the author’s life, but a few literary liberties were taken to enhance the narrative. Although the emotions related were real and happened, there is an element of fantasy (backed up by scripture) that was added to make the tale more interesting, rather than it being just another “Baby Boomer” nostalgia piece or cliched Christian memoir.

TAKEOFF,
Vance, Walz Keep Debate Civil,
In perhaps the most civil debate in recent memory, vice-presidential candidates Sen. JD Vance and Gov. Tim Walz frequently agreed on issues as they discussed policies ranging from immigration to abortion, foreign relations, and the economy.
Both Vance and Walz saved their sharpest critiques in Tuesday night’s debate for the candidates atop their respective tickets.
Vance repeatedly criticized Vice President Harris on immigration and the economy, while Walz attacked former President Trump’s abortion stance and actions on Jan. 6.
The debate lasted over 90 minutes and closed with Walz highlighting his ticket’s celebrity endorsements, while Vance focused on change and making the economy more affordable.
Iran Fires Missile Barrage at Israel,
Iran launched a barrage of nearly 200 ballistic missiles targeting central and southern Israel on Tuesday night, with explosions reported in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
All Israelis were ordered to take shelter, with few serious injuries reported. The army has since allowed civilians to leave shelters but remains on high alert.
Israel’s Iron Dome intercepted many of the missiles. U.S. Navy destroyers fired about a dozen interceptors at Iranian missiles as part of American support.
The Israeli military said the attack, impacting around 10 million civilians, was in response to the recent killing of top Hezbollah officials and its limited incursions across the Lebanese border.
Dockworker Strike Hits U.S. Economy,
Dockworkers walked out on strike from 36 ports along the eastern U.S. Tuesday, threatening major supply chain disruptions and new inflationary pressure.
A strike lasting weeks could cost the economy between $3.8 and $4.5 billion per day, according to J.P. Morgan estimates.
Key goods at risk include 75% of the nation’s banana imports, other perishables like meat, 80% of imported alcohol, and thousands of cars and auto parts.
Experts warn that a one-week shutdown could take four to six weeks to recover. The Biden administration is monitoring the situation but says it has no plans to intervene.
POLITICS,
The U.S. military sharply criticized Russia for an “unsafe” encounter off the Alaskan coast between a Russian Su-35 fighter jet and a U.S. F-16.
The UN revealed that a top Hamas commander killed in Lebanon Monday was a suspended UN relief agency employee, adding to criticism that the organization has numerous Hamas militants in its ranks.
A Virginia school board has agreed to pay over $500,000 in damages and attorneys’ fees to a former teacher dismissed in 2018 for refusing to use a transgender student’s pronouns.

Long Ago, when the Roman Empire was at the height of its glory, a common saying was “All Roads Lead to Rome.” I want to tell you about a very special road — a road that existed then and still exists now. This road, now almost 2,000 years old, has never led to Rome. Yet, strangely enough, it is called the Romans Road.
This takes the reader to selected passages in the Book of Romans in the Bible to explain the plan of Salvation. This is the ideal way to share the gospel using your Kindle. The reader can also read the entire book of Romans un-interrupted.
Someone wants to get their hands on Daniel Dunne’s land and isn’t particular how they go about it. Can Brett Gallagher help… even though there’s tension between him and Daniel’s granddaughter Crystal?
Brett could have had it made after inheriting half of a successful financial advisement firm in New York. Instead, devastated by his father’s death, the young man takes off on a cross-country motorcycle trip to find out what God wants of him,
Crystal keeps her grandfather’s home near Casper, Wyoming and takes care of her teenage sister, who is about to graduate high school. Crystal is gifted as an artist and pours her heart into creating works sold in shops and at town festivals. But she has a wounded heart.
Daniel had sold his successful business and retired several years ago. Since then, he has worked with his hands making wooden functional pieces, decorative items, and toys for hospitals, the underprivileged, and local festivals. But he has a problem. Age has caught up with his hands.
As Brett travels into Wyoming on his way to see Yellowstone, his and Crystal’s worlds collide… literally. Could this accident be the Godsend they all need?
Why I Am Me: Surviving Grief And Trauma
by Danielle Sternquist
I am a first time author and this book was created from a journal I worked on for 14 years. It was suggested by my counselor to write it in a chronological way to keep track and deal with hurts, abandonment, bullying and death. I wanted other people in similar situations to benefit from my loss and trauma that has been such a big part of my life. I am a Christian and was led to share my experiences and my downfalls with you. I am not perfect as you will see and I did not always feel close to God but God loves an imperfect person and you can see that as well. I hope that through my experiences you can see that life can get better with God, and a lot of work.

TAKEOFF,
Dockworkers’ Strike Shuts Down Major Ports,
Dockworkers’ strike shut down major U.S. ports on Tuesday. The 45,000-strong walkout threatens product shortages and higher prices ahead of the holiday shopping season.
The White House is urging negotiations but says President Joe Biden doesn’t plan to intervene, despite warnings from business groups that a strike could cost the economy an estimated $5 billion per day.
The International Longshoremen’s Association and employer group United States Maritime Alliance are at an impasse over wages and automation at 36 ports that handle about half of the nation’s cargo.
Many retailers have rushed to import holiday merchandise early, but a prolonged strike would disrupt supply chains as the Christmas season approaches.
U.S. Sends More Troops to Mideast,
The Pentagon announced on Monday that it will deploy thousands of additional U.S. troops, including fighter jet squadrons, to the Middle East to defend Israel, bringing the total U.S. forces in the region to around 43,000.
President Biden initially denied Sunday that the U.S. was planning to send more troops to the Middle East, but the situation changed as Israel began limited strikes across the border into Lebanon Monday.
The Israeli military said its targets were located in villages close to the border that posed “an immediate threat to Israeli communities in northern Israel.” It said its air force and artillery were helping with “precise strikes.”
Baseball Legend Pete Rose Dies,
Former Cincinnati Reds superstar Pete Rose, who retired as the sport’s all-time leader in hits before being banned from the sport forever, died Monday at 83.
Rose, whose nickname was “Charlie Hustle,” finished his career with 4,256 hits, the most in baseball history. He and Ty Cobb are the only two players to ever surpass 4,000 hits. He also holds the record for games played, plate appearances and at-bats.
The end of his career came swiftly when evidence arose that he was betting on baseball games. He received a lifetime ban in 1989 and was jailed for several months for tax evasion.
That ban also made him ineligible for induction into baseball’s Hall of Fame, a decision that remains controversial to this day.
POLITICS,
Former President Jimmy Carter will celebrate his 100th birthday today with philanthropic events as he becomes the longest-living president in American history. This will be his first birthday since the death of his wife Rosalynn last November.
Ryan Wesley Routh pleaded not guilty to five federal charges on Monday, including the attempted assassination of former President Trump, following an incident at Trump’s Florida golf course last month.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ lawyers requested the dismissal of the bribery charge in his federal indictment, arguing that the allegations were vague and didn’t show that Adams broke the law.
President Biden announced on Monday that he would request additional funds from Congress for disaster assistance while officials and aid groups worked to deliver supplies to areas devastated by Hurricane Helene.

He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant. (Psalm 111:5)
Those who fear God need not fear want. Through all these long years the Lord has always found meat for His own children, whether they have been in the wilderness, or by the brook Cherith, or in captivity, or in the midst of famine. Hitherto the Lord has given us day by day our daily bread, and we doubt not that He will continue to feed us till we want no more.
As to the higher and greater blessings of the covenant of grace, He will never cease to supply them as our case demands. He is mindful that He made the covenant and never acts as if He regretted it. He is mindful of it when we provoke Him to destroy us. He is mindful to love us, keep us, and comfort us, even as He engaged to do. He is mindful of every jot and tittle of His engagements, never suffering one of His words to fall to the ground.
We are sadly unmindful of our God, but He is graciously mindful of us. He cannot forget His Son who is the surety of the covenant, nor His Holy Spirit who actively carries out the covenant, nor His own honor, which is bound up with the covenant. Hence the foundation of God standeth sure, and no believer shall lose his divine inheritance, which is his by a covenant of salt.

TAKEOFF,
At Least 89 Dead as Helene Pounds Southeast,
Hurricane Helene caused at least 89 deaths this weekend, up to a third of them in North Carolina alone, while leaving over 2 million people struggling without electricity.
Helene made landfall Thursday night in Florida’s Big Bend region as a Category 4 hurricane, unleashing catastrophic flooding and extensive damage.
The storm caused record-breaking rainfall, particularly in North Carolina, where towns like Biltmore Village experienced severe flooding, submerging the historic area under several feet of water.
Helene is expected to dissipate by Monday, but heavy rain and flash flooding continue to threaten parts of the Appalachians.
SpaceX Reaches ISS, but Grounds Rockets,
SpaceX’s Crew-9 mission successfully launched to the International Space Station for a five-month expedition, enabling the return of stranded NASA astronauts.

The two-person crew arrived safely at the ISS on Sunday. They plan to return stranded astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams to Earth in February.
This marks the third time in recent months that SpaceX has temporarily halted launches.

Psalm. 119:133 Guide my steps by your word, so I will not be overcome by any evil.
Our only protection from evil is to let the Lord take His Word and direct our paths. We are not capable of “winging it” on our own and staying pure before God. If you are not asking the Lord to take His Word and lead you through your journey of life, you are depriving your soul of its very essence for life. You cannot sustain a relationship with God without His Word. You will do nothing but starve yourself to death and give Satan fertile ground upon which to thrive. You will succumb to evil if you neglect God’s Word in your life. Guaranteed.
You cannot be led by the Word unless you know the Word. You cannot know the Word without reading and meditating on it. If you don’t put in the time, you will do the crime; it’s as simple as that. No one has the strength of soul to resist temptation apart from the Word of God. Without the Word to guide us, we will be easily led astray. The Word shows us the pathway to holiness. We learn what not to do and what to do. God does not lead us into confusion. He clearly marks out the path for us to follow. It is imperative for the health of our souls that we equip ourselves with a working knowledge of God’s Word.
We choose daily whether we will be overcomers of evil or victims to it. We choose daily whether or not we will arm ourselves with the Word or not. No one has any excuse. We have time for what we want. There is no activity on earth that is more important for the life of the soul than God’s Word. If there is the will to spend time in the Word, there will be a way. Adjustments may have to be made in daily routines, but there is a way. Does your relationship with God mean enough to you for you to do it?
About the Author:
Spending his formative years in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Jim followed the love of his life to southeast Iowa where they married and have spent the majority of their lives. Jim has pastored several churches throughout his life and has worked many years in local factories to help support his family. The father of two married adult children and one son still at home, Jim is a first-time author.
C Through Marriage came into being through many years of pastoral and life experiences. The book first took on a life of its own over 20 years ago when I sought to address the much publicized moral failures of prominent leaders in the church. In the chapter on Chasity, I include the guideliness that I developed then to protect one’s self from such failures.
I am a firm believer in order to make sense out of life you have to use much common sense. We need to get back to the basics of what has worked for many, many generations. If is isn’t broke, why try to fix it? I strive to return to the basics of what really works in all my writings.

Long Ago, when the Roman Empire was at the height of its glory, a common saying was “All Roads Lead to Rome.” I want to tell you about a very special road — a road that existed then and still exists now. This road, now almost 2,000 years old, has never led to Rome. Yet, strangely enough, it is called the Romans Road.

TAKEOFF,
Israel Kills Hezbollah Leader Nasrallah,
Israel has killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and other key commanders in targeted airstrikes in Beirut, Lebanon. Hezbollah confirmed their longtime leader’s death Saturday.
Iranian general Abbas Nilforoushan was also killed in the attack.
Israel said it conducted strikes on 140 Hezbollah targets overnight and into Saturday morning. Israeli Defense Forces indicated that “precise intelligence” led to the strike on Nasrallah in Hezbollah’s “Central Headquarters,” located beneath a residential building.
The death of Hezbollah’s top official drastically escalates tensions in the Middle East, with Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei calling the strike “criminal” and saying Israel would “regret its actions.”
425,000 Criminal Illegal Immigrants Free in U.S.,
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) released a new report Friday indicating that over 425,000 illegal immigrants who have been convicted of crimes are currently free in the U.S., rising from the 405,000 mark in 2021.
Over 13,000 of the “non-detained” immigrants have been convicted of homicide. 62,231 have been convicted of assault and 14,301 of burglary.
The report came on that same day that Vice President Harris made a rare visit to the border, as border security remains one of the most pivotal issues in the presidential election.
List: When Billionaires Could Become Trillionaires,
It’s one thing to be a billionaire, but when will the world see a trillionaire? According to a new study, Elon Musk could become the world’s first trillionaire by 2027.
The study indicates he would be followed by three more trillionaires in 2028 with India’s Gautam Adani, American Jensen Huang, and Indonesia’s Prajogo Pangestu. The world’s second richest person currently, Frenchman Bernard Arnault, is set to reach trillionaire status in 2030.
These projections are based on annual average fortune growth from 2017 to 2024.

TAKEOFF,
NYC Mayor Indicted in Bribery Probe,
New York City Mayor Eric Adams was indicted Thursday on federal charges of accepting bribes and illegal campaign contributions from foreign sources, becoming the first sitting mayor in city history to face such charges.

Adams vowed to stay in office and fight the charges, calling himself a “target” in a case “based on lies.”
The indictment follows months of escalating investigations, including searches of top aides’ homes, device seizures, and resignations of Adams’ police commissioner and schools chancellor amid mounting scrutiny.
Hurricane Helene Threatens Historic Damage,
Hurricane Helene was expected to deliver devastating impacts across the southeastern U.S., with forecasters warning it could become a “once-in-a-generation storm.”
Helene was scheduled to make landfall in Florida Thursday night, threatening widespread power outages and flooding for hundreds of miles inland.

DEAR FLYOVER REPLAY READER,
The Flyover Replay believes that—like us—everyday Americans are fed up with the daily barrage of biased corporate media. Some of you have been flying with us from the start, and others have boarded along the way. I am so grateful you’re here.
Since our launch, the mainstream media has gotten worse—with celebrity journalists pushing their agendas and favorite candidates under the guise of impartial reporting. We aren’t perfect, but when we miss the mark, we own it and correct it because your trust is essential to our success.
What I’ve learned since our launch is that millions of Americans still value straightforward, fact-driven journalism—something that’s hard to find among the circus of today’s broadcast, cable, and print outlets.
But let me be candid. To keep delivering free, unbiased news, I need your support. Although I appreciate our advertisers, they don’t cover all our costs. Many of you have asked how you can help. The Flyover Replay is, and will always be, 100% free. But to maintain that, I’m asking readers who are able to make a special contribution to consider doing so.
I understand that not everyone is in a position to give, and for some, even $15 is a big sacrifice. Any amount, however large or small, will go a long way in helping us continue to provide fair, unbiased news and meet our financial goals by the end of the month. Will you make a special contribution today? EMail Russell Sherrard at russellsherrard@reagan.com and I will send you a link where you can contribute any amount.
