Return American Culture Again!
u’re like me, watching President Trump and Vice President Vance get sworn in to office was emotional. I felt great pride to live in the greatest country in the world. I felt hope, knowing that this new administration will work tirelessly to Make America Great Again. Yet I’m also a little anxious, knowing there’s still many threats and much more work to be done.
Our Part in Creating State Laws that Stand for Good
Our Arizona State Legislature begins its 2025 Session this week! ... Before 2020 (when most of us Arizona Women of Action started paying attention to local politics), we had no idea and didn’t care much about what went on in our State Capitol. But that’s exactly why things got so insane to the point where we realized we have no choice but to BE ENGAGED LOCALLY!
2025 Resolutions: One Thing to Add - One Thing to Purge
I’m guessing these last few weeks, like lots of us, you’ve been thinking about the year ahead: “What do I need to get rid of? What do I want to add to my life? For me, I’ve really got to just PURGE that excess stuff (like those fabulous shoes I haven’t worn in five years--and a few stubborn inches around my waist)! And I want to ADD some habits—like reading more and starting better time-management.
Post Election Holiday Season—Yes, Unity IS Achievable!
Entering this season of family and faith celebrations, what do we do to draw family and friends together again? Is this even possible? Yes, I think it is—if we first take time to understand some things.
Summit Ministries recently wrote a piece that will help not only Christians and others of faith, but anyone who wants to navigate past the landmines keeping friends and family divided and start building bridges again. Here’s a small excerpt, but please read the rest to prepare for some beautiful holiday celebrations! ~ Kim
Grateful for Another Chance to Keep It!
Abraham Lincoln in 1863 proclaimed a “Day of Thanksgiving, Praise and Prayer” in light of the bloody, divisive battle for America that nearly ended the people’s hopes for freedom and unity. We are now at a very similar time.
Time to Celebrate--And Plant the Seeds of Hope and Patriotism!
CONGRATULATIONS, Arizona Women of Action!!—To all our friends here (and even in other states)! THANK YOU to everyone who worked tireless hours knocking on doors, sending texts to friends, hosting events and home groups, and sharing our articles and social media! YOU got the women out to vote—and vote INFORMED!
A Time to Work, to Pray, to Stand
We’re coming up on the final hours that will determine which direction our great nation will go—to Freedom or to Control?
Keep working for votes through Tuesday! Please TEXT 3 friends today and ask them to vote:
Today you must VOTE and get friends to VOTE—It’s the most powerful weapon you have to fight evil policies that will harm your families for now and into your future generations.
Your Vote Can Help Restore All K-12 Schools!
A major part of Arizona Women of Action’s mission is restoring education, and 1.1 million children are enrolled in AZ public schools. Over the past year, we’ve been focused on recruiting, mentoring and guiding strong parents and grandparents to run for school board in their district. Please look at our voter guide to see who we recommend in your district.
Women—Don’t Let the Left Weaponize Your Compassion
Too many women are being misled. It happens every election, but the left has been at it for years. Propaganda has tricked women into being outraged over injustices but given them ‘solutions’ without all the facts and real outcomes. Compassion without truth equals abuse—not only of those people women want to help, but abuse of the entire society in the form of chaos within families, education and even devastating harm to mothers and babies. Women, stop being played, and examine the messages from the left.
Today we have an example of how smart women are thinking through the issue of women in sports. We have permission from the author, Alison Furno, whose piece was recently published in the AZ Capitol Times.
God’s Values Are On The Ballot—Why Aren’t Christians Voting?
What’s on your ballot is not really candidates—it’s Values. God cares about governments because governments impact people—people He values.
Need a Reason to Vote? Look to the Border Catastrophe
My friend LJ Wentworth called last week after that report came out that ICE released over 435,000 migrants with criminal convictions. These are murderers, rapists and every kind of violent, destructive criminal—released into multiple American cities (paid for by our tax dollars, by the way). The result: Biden-Harris Border Policy Encourages ‘Unspeakable Acts’ of Suffering
YOU Can Change the Sad Statistics of Non-Voting Church Members!
If you’re a person of faith, you honor God and love your neighbors when you apply His values to YOUR VOTE. God led our founders to create a nation where we can (and must) vote for the welfare and freedom of all people.
MILLIONS of Christians and others of faith have not been voting. Only about ¼ of Christians vote!
Freedom--Or Control? It’s Up to Us
We’re all tired of politics, but this election will determine two completely opposite visions for America: Freedom or Control?
The founders made a nation based on God’s value for individuals. That’s why we even HAVE freedom, because God said people’s rights come from their Creator—NOT their government.
A Decade of Decline: Why Your School Board Matters
You’ve probably heard someone say, “this is the most important election of our lifetime,” and in many ways this is true. While many are focused on the Presidential election, School Board and City Council elections have the most immediate impact on your daily lives and are just as important as who you select at the top of the ballot. This election is important for our children – whether you have kids in your district or not, your tax dollars pay for the curriculum and teaching of thousands of children and future leaders in your community. Do you know how your money is being used?
Invitation Thursday Night: We Need SALT More Than Ever
In a time like this with all its chaos and uncertainty, anything can happen. Traditional values are attacked, and everything seems upside down. But don’t be discouraged. This is actually a time of great possibility! We have a chance to rediscover the deep wisdom and unchangeable truths within our nation’s founding.
Awakened ‘Soldiers’ Needed—The Battle CAN Be Won!
Do you realize you’re a soldier? If you love your freedom, your family, your community and our miraculous nation, then you’re called to be a soldier. G.K. Chesterton said, “The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.”
The only question is, WILL YOU fight (in your own way) to defend what’s behind you, what’s worth protecting? The first step is to Wake Up to how the attack began. Then you can start to see YOUR part in this worthy battle for our Republic.
New AZ Law Protects Kids from Sexual Predators at School
It’s
tragic to think we can no longer drop our kids off at school and completely entrust them to the hands and influence of teachers. Our Director of SMART Families Network, Tamra Farah, writes our blog this week (which was also published by AZFree News.
Parent Plan for Back-to-School Success!
Summer break is ending, and the new school year is upon us, which brings bittersweet excitement for both kids and parents. We love watching our kids step into a new grade, hearts full of curiosity. We pray that their school year ahead will be filled with learning, new friendships, and wonderful memories.
Replace the Menu for Kids’ Reading—They’ll Love It!
Sometimes the best way to stop kids from consuming garbage is to create something amazing in its place.
Kids are creative by nature. They gravitate to stories of wonder, beauty, goodness and truth. These are the things that satisfy the soul. Deep down, this is what kids crave. (Isn’t it what we all crave?) But our schools and culture keep trying to feed kids garbage.
America Catches Her Breath; Time to Choose
On Saturday, July 13, Americans woke up. Exhausted by years of the most divisive cultural atmosphere in recent history, we’re almost numb. And then we witnessed a crucible moment that turned the page in American history. A bullet aimed to kill, not only former President Donald Trump, but also the foundational vision of American freedom that he and millions of Americans want back again.
