Hundreds of Hindus attacked 14 Christians in India
As police officers watched in India, hundreds of Hindus attacked 14 Christians on October 30 in Chhattisgarh, after the believers defied orders to abandon their Christian faith and harvested crops from a communal farm, reports International Christian Concern.
Several of the Christians, including two women, were beaten with wooden rods and suffered head trauma and broken bones. The mob also demolished the believers’ homes, destroyed the crops they had harvested, and injured a police officer who had tried to help.
Nagesh Micha, a Christian rights activist, said, “The police, which are supposed to uphold the fundamental rights of an individual, have allowed 14 people to be beaten in their presence. This means there are higher authorities who are supporting the mobs.”
According to Open Doors, India is the 11th most dangerous country worldwide in which to be a Christian.

Trump selects first-ever female Chief of Staff

She will be the first woman ever to serve in that role.
Franklin Graham urges Trump to seek God daily
Evangelist Franklin Graham tweeted, “Congratulations to Donald Trump on being elected the 47th president of the United States of America! I pray that you will look to God every day for His guidance and wisdom.”
On the Billy Hallowell CBN podcast, Graham added these cautionary words.
GRAHAM: “Our country, I believe, is doomed unless we repent of our sins and call upon the name of Almighty God and His Son, Jesus Christ.
“The entertainment industry, they’re normalizing sin. It’s in every program you watch on TV. They try to make sin normal. It has a dulling effect, I believe, on us spiritually. It takes the sharp edge off of us, and we just begin to kind of become ‘ho hum’ about it. We should be shocked. We should be embarrassed.
“We should never accept it within the church. Unfortunately, many churches have accepted sin.”
3 things Christian should do in wake of Trump’s victory
In the wake of Trump’s re-election, Pastor Josh Howerton tweeted three things that Christians should do.
First, “Give thanks. Our nation was given an undeserved mercy. It is a window for repentance. No Christian anywhere should’ve supported the policy platform that was mercifully defeated and saying that should never have been controversial. In fact, it should prompt deep reflection about what happened to the U.S. church…. It is not wrong to celebrate and give thanks today for being spared from something our rebellious nation deserved … ‘When wicked things perish, there are shouts of joy’ — Proverbs 11:10”
Second, “Pray. Not only because we are commanded to pray for our governing leaders in 1 Timothy 2:1, but because of the situation. We elected Jehu, a flawed leader who defeated a greater evil, not Josiah, a righteous leader who led national revival, and that comes with risks.
“The command to “trust not in princes” (Psalm 146:3) means there is Someone 10 trillion times greater than a President and something 10 billion times greater than an election that we should ache and hunger for — an outpouring of the Spirit in our generation.”
Third, “Hurl yourself into the purposes of God in our generation. … Judeo-Christian values can keep a nation out of chaos, but they cannot keep a person out of Hell. Only the blood of Jesus Christ can do that.”
Former DNC official: Biden should resign & appoint Kamala president
Jamal Simmons, a former deputy director of communications for the Democratic National Committee, proposed an idea so wild that even the CNN panel he was taking part in seemed skeptical, reports Red State.
SIMMONS: “Joe Biden has been a phenomenal president. He’s lived up to so many of the promises he’s made. There’s one promise left that he could fulfill, being a transitional figure.
“He could resign the presidency in the next 30 days, make Kamala Harris the president United States.”
CNN CONSERVATIVE CONTRIBUTOR SCOTT JENNINGS: “Woah!”
SIMMONS: “He would absolve …”
DANA BASH: “Wow!”
SIMMONS: “…her from having to oversee the January 6 transition of her own defeat. And it would dominate the news at a point where Democrats have to learn drama and transparency and doing things that the public wants to see. This is the moment for us to change the entire perspective of how Democrats operate.”
BASH: “This has now jumped from an internet meme to a Sunday morning show.”
If Biden resigned and appointed Kamala as president, this would indeed dominate the news. The message sent would be that the Democrats treated the presidency like a participation trophy.
No doubt, if President Biden were to take this foolish suggestion seriously, he would both sully what’s left of his reputation and simultaneously cement the Republican hold on the White House for decades to come.
Big snowstorm hit Colorado
(“Let it snow” song)
God sent a whole lot of snow into Colorado, reports the Denver Gazette.

Deep sleep boosts brain health, reduces memory problems
And finally, deep sleep could be the key to forestalling slow declines in brain health that may one day lead to Alzheimer’s disease, the most common form of dementia, reports Science Alert.
Matthew Walker, a neuroscientist at the University of California Berkeley, said, “Think of deep sleep almost like a life raft that keeps memory afloat, rather than memory getting dragged down by the weight of Alzheimer’s disease pathology. This is especially exciting because we can do something about it. There are ways we can improve sleep, even in older adults.”
Want some more deep sleep yourself?.
Cut out coffee late in the day. Get exercise. Then, right before bed, avoid screen time, and take a hot shower.
