Dear Judge Kavanaugh,
Notice I put a comma there after your name. This is not a business letter, this is a personal letter, a friendly letter. One friend to another. I am the friend you made during your testimony to the Senate in regard to the Politics of Personal Destruction.
I am also a fellow Christian. I want you to know that I am praying for you. For your wife, Ashley. For your precious little girls. For your friends who are giving you the support you need where you live. And for your friends all over this country who join me in this prayer.
I pray that God will send his angels to surround you all.
Why do bad things happen to good people?
As I was thinking/praying for you this morning, God reminded me, "My strength is made great in your weakness." I am reminded of Daniel in the Lion's den, because that is what those Senate Democrats reminded me of.
I am sure that you, like me, have promised God in song and word, "I will go, I will go, to the ends of the earth, wherever you need me." I am sure you never thought that the ends of the earth would be the Senate Judiciary Committee. God apparently thinks you have immense strength to be able to carry this load. You represent him well.
When President Trump got elected, I could almost hear the agonized groans and primal screams unleashed from the gates of Hell that manifested itself in the horrible eruption called "Resistance," with the violence of Antifa and all of the Deep State manipulation of our government. It takes courage. It takes Faith. But, "Greater is He that is in me, than he that is in the world." Never forget.
The Devil is definitely at work in this world. "Thou shalt not bear false witness" is one of the Ten Commandments. Sadly, God saw what would happen in this world and for that reason he told Moses to chisel that Commandment. The consequences of bearing false witness is something we are seeing on the national TV.
The first Biblical example that comes to mind is Potiphar's wife. She concocted a plan and charged an innocent man.
But then came a turning point in Joseph’s life: “One day he went into the house to attend to his duties, and none of the household servants was inside. [Potiphar’s wife] caught him by his cloak and said, ‘Come to bed with me!’ But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house” (Genesis 39:11–12). Potiphar’s wife, spurned again, stands there with Joseph’s cloak in her hand, and she chooses an angry, vindictive plan: “She called her household servants. ‘Look,’ she said to them, ‘this Hebrew . . . came in here to sleep with me, but I screamed. When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house’” (verses 14–15).
When Potiphar came home, his wife showed him Joseph’s cloak and repeated the lie: “As soon as I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house. . . . This is how your slave treated me” (Genesis 39:18–19). Potiphar, outraged at Joseph’s supposed betrayal, put him in prison (verse 20).

This is how your slave treated me” (Genesis 39:18–19). Potiphar, outraged at Joseph’s supposed betrayal, put him in prison (verse 20).
The incident with Potiphar’s wife is bookended by two passages that speak of God’s love and blessing to Joseph. Joseph found favor in the eyes of the Egyptians among whom he lived and rose to a position of prominence in the house of Potiphar (Genesis 39:1–6). Joseph’s success and position was the direct result of God’s blessing (verses 2–3). When Joseph was wrongly accused and sent to prison, God remained faithful. God “showed [Joseph] kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden” (verse 21). Soon, the keeper of the prison had put Joseph in charge of the other prisoners and trusted him so fully that he no longer paid attention to anything that was under Joseph’s control (verses 22–23). Everything Joseph did succeeded because “the Lord was with Joseph” (verse 23).
The story of Potiphar’s wife is about loyalty as much as it is about resisting temptation. Potiphar’s wife was disloyal to her husband, but Joseph was loyal both to Potiphar and to God.

God shows us amazing loyalty and faithfulness. It is part of His character. He is “compassionate and gracious . . . slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness” (Exodus 34:6). “For the word of the LORD is right and true; he is faithful in all he does” (Psalm 33:4). Joseph’s desire to be faithful and loyal to Potiphar was in response to God’s faithfulness to Him; Joseph was reflecting God’s character, which is what the godly do. “Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did” (1 John 2:6).
I am sure that Joseph asked God why? many times. Perhaps you can relate to that.
And then there is Jezebel.
Without Ahab’s direct knowledge, Jezebel writes letters to her townsmen, enlisting them in an elaborate ruse to frame the innocent Naboth. To ensure their compliance, she signs Ahab’s name and stamps the letters with the king’s seal. Jezebel encourages the townsmen to publicly (and falsely) accuse Naboth of blaspheming God and king. “Then take him out and stone him to death,” she commands (1 Kings 21:10).
I am sure you feel as if you have been stoned. I find this observation on Jezebel from Biblical Archaeology interesting. We must admit that these radical Left women have left all reason behind as they listen to the propaganda saying that they will lose the right to an abortion. Ironically, Baal, the head god of the many gods that Jezebel worships, is the head fertility god of the Canaanites.
Jezebel gets involved in a land dispute.
Jezebel gets involved in a land dispute.
She is driven to eliminate Israel’s faithful servants of God. Evidence of Jezebel’s cruel desire to wipe out Yahweh worship in Israel is reported in 1 Kings 18:4, at the Bible’s second mention of her name: “Jezebel was killing off the prophets of the Lord.”
Jezebel writes letters enlisting folks in an elaborate ruse to frame Naboth. This looks way too close to what is happening here. She encourages them to publicly and falsely accuse Naboth.
So, why would these radical feminists and Leftists participate in eliminating faithful servants of God? Because they ARE NOT faithful servants of God and that makes a good man their enemy. Especially one they sense believes in the sanctity of life. The only time you hear God on their lips it is used as a curse word.

It seems to so many of us observing the world today that the sad words at the end of the book of Judges--"Every man did what was right in his own eyes" applies today just as it did then. The Senate Democrats could not withstand the scrutiny to which they submit you. If they did, Cory Booker, Bill Clinton and Keith Ellison would be under FBI scrutiny because there is actual evidence that they are guilty of sexual assault.
How does one prove a negative? Every time the Democrats demanded that you call for an FBI I wondered, Why should he ask for them to investigate something he knew did not happen?

Your daughter's wisdom "let's pray for her" is testimony to the goodness of her father and mother. Your willingness to acknowledge that something bad must have happened to the woman ensnared into testifying against you is testament to a forgiving and generous heart.
It looks likely to me that Christine Blasey Ford, perhaps with a bit of an adolescent crush on the older son of her father's golfing friend at Burning Tree, may indeed have had a very vivid nightmare with the most memorable part of the nightmare being hearing the laughter of Brett Kavanaugh and Mark Judge. These two young men, seniors, could possibly have been totally unaware of the fifteen year old and the sting of that laughter, that an insecure girl imagined was instigated at her expense, manifested itself in a very vivid nightmare in which the two boys laughed at her. That very vivid nightmare when recalled became imprinted indelibly as a memory.
Ford’s husband would later explain that Ford explicitly moved to the west coast to get away from the “D.C. scene.” He said to The Washington Post, “She didn’t always get along with her parents because of differing political views. It was a very male-dominated environment. Everyone was interested in what’s going on with the men, and the women are sidelined, and she didn’t get the attention or respect she felt she deserved. That’s why she was in California, to get away from the D.C. scene.” https://heavy.com/news/2018/09/christine-blasey-ford-bio/
Might Blasey-Ford, as a psychologist interested in trauma, have been influenced by books on trauma that she might have read?
Sources of Details That Could Affect Memory
There are at least two important sources that could potentially feed into the construction of false memories. These include popular writings and therapists' suggestions.
Popular Writings
All roads on the search for popular writings inevitably lead to one, The Courage to Heal (Bass & Davis, 1988 ), often referred to as the "bible" of the incest book industry. The Courage to Heal advertises itself as a guide for women survivors of child sexual abuse. Although the book is undoubtedly a great comfort to the sexual abuse survivors who have been living with their private and painful memories, one cannot help but wonder about its effects on those who have no such memories. Readers who are wondering whether they might be victims of child sexual abuse are provided with a list of possible activities ranging from the relatively being (e.g., being held in a way that made them uncomfortable) to the unequivocally abusive (e.g., being raped or otherwise penetrated). Readers are then told "If you are unable to remember any specific instances like the ones mentioned above but still have a feeling that something abusive happened to you, it probably did" (p. 21). On the next page, the reader is told
You may think you don't have memories, but often as you begin to talk about what you do remember, there emerges a constellation of feelings, reactions and recollections that add up to substantial information. To say, "I was abused," you don't need the kind of recall that would stand up in a court of law. Often the knowledge that you were abused starts with a tiny feeling, an intuition... Assume your feelings are valid. So far, no one we've talked to thought she might have been abused, and then later discovered that she hadn't been. The progression always goes the other way, from suspicion to confirmation. If you think you were abused and your life shows the symptoms, then you were. (p. 22)
What symptoms? The authors list low self-esteem, suicidal or self-destructive thoughts, depression, and sexual dysfunction, among others. https://staff.washington.edu/eloftus/Articles/lof93.htm
Blasey Ford was the perfect choice for the Radical Left to levy charges like Potiphar's wife while using Jezebel's model to enlist them in an elaborate ruse to frame the innocent Brett Kavanough.
Through it all God found a way, just as He will with you. Joseph gained position and power to use in behalf of God's people. I pity those whose Judgement God will levy against --those who stand against you. Stand firm. Be of courage. "God is not mocked."
"Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or tremble at them, for the LORD your God is the one who goes with you. He will not fail you or forsake you."Deuteronomy 31:6
- Lord thank you that through this trial you are using our lives and circumstances to make a mark on this world. Draw us close to yourself. May many know of your Great Name. May they hear of your works and miracles of your faithfulness. We choose again today to fix our eyes, not on all the troubles that surround, but on you alone.
"Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, for what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

We are praying for you.
Matthew 18:19 - Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
In His love,
