Gallup Sun

The Sun enters Virgo this week on Aug. 23. You may notice the details. This is a benefit, for the “devil is in the details.” But, don’t forget to take a step back and scope the terrain. You’re also looking at an entire forest. Madame G recommends that you use common sense. Don’t get so caught up in the details that you’re putting on makeup while the house is on fire. Plan ahead!

 

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Ease up! You’re capable and strong. Don’t get so caught up in your screw ups that you stop looking and moving forward. The only real failure is not to try. It’s okay to get down on yourself, but only if you get up and dust yourself off. Look towards the future and...

Continuing a 7-part special by Richard F. Kontz on a Vietnam Vet he met while running the Bread of Life Christian Bookstore in 2015 through mid-2011.

Previously, I had found out how Don became an alcoholic in Vietnam, how he become a very angry and at times a very violent man, who lost his wife and family because of these problems, and how eventually he was accused and convicted of murder and served 11 years in prison.

No, Jesus loves with actions. Jesus loves sacrificially. True love, as Jesus loves, considers the well-being of the object of that love first and foremost. Jesus displayed this greatest love by laying down his life for us, to cover our sins. Jesus...

On Aug. 11, prepare for a unique and exciting experience. The New Moon occurs during a Solar Eclipse. The Sun is in Leo, so you may experience confidence and joy. You may also learn to appreciate family time, creative endeavors, and how to not sweat the small stuff. Madame G encourages you to write out everything that is important and cross off the rest. You’re worth it.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Dear Aries, you’re intense and you run a little hot. That’s okay—you’re passionate. However, this passion can get ahead of you. Also, you can’t be passionate about everything all at once. It’s advisable to pick one thing that’s really important to you and work on that. When you...
