Letter From, Franklin Graham to President Trump

October 15th, 2025

Posted on Donald Trump's Truth Social Account

March 29th, 2026

It scares me when he does things like this, posting questions about his own mortality and the hereafter. Trump is erratic. Who knows what's going on in his brain. Is he contemplating suicide? Is he not long for this earth, due to health related issues? And there's no way of knowing because no one with the information is going to tell anyone! It could be as simple as an elderly man processing his life, and contemplating the next chapter, but with Trump things are never as simple as that! All I know is it disturbs me greatly. I am afraid, because at the moment he also behaves like a hopelessly cornered dog, that he will decide that nuking the HELL out of the Middle East is what it means to be the ultimate peacemaker, and therefore worthy of Heaven, despite the repercussions for the rest of us! Too many psychotic people are whispering in his ear. And so begins another week of, will he nukes us, or will he get someone else to do it?

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE... it's the ultimate theme park ride!

Getting To Heaven

 

"I wanna try and get to heaven if possible. I'm hearing I'm not doing well. I am really at the bottom of the totem pole. But if I can get to heaven, this will be one of the reasons."

Is it his physical health that he is referring to, when he says he's not doing well? He has had some problems lately.  He was recently diagnosed with Chronic Venous Insufficiency, which does not sound fun, but is not uncommon for a man of his age. I wouldn't wish that on anyone, I have trouble with my feet as well, but I can self correct by lowering my sodium intake, drinking more water, and elevating them occasionally.  Of course it could be he is considering getting to heaven by tweaking his attitude, but I have seen no evidence of that happening anytime soon, and it really doesn't seem to be that, because he continues to bash the Ukraine, and drool over Putin. That is quite a disconnect, but he still insists he hates the killing that's happening. Maybe it's everything, everywhere, all at once. Maybe he is concerned about his whole life. Revenge, Retribution, Selfishness, Greed, Bearing False witness, and then there is all that Epstein business. I am reluctant to share my personal opinion about that, but I believe that a lot of people were hurt by Maxwell, Epstein, and now by the Trump administration by not releasing the full files. And lets not forget his quest for the Nobel Peace prize! He has wanted that for years. it's all about President Obama winning one. Who knows? I know he hasn't looked physically well these past three months. Maybe life is catching up with him, time waits for no man... or woman. Or maybe he finally understands that there is life beyond this life. That there is a God who will be the ultimate judge to our deeds good and bad. I don't know, but something is ringing a bell inside. I hope he listens to it. I hope he changes his ways, I just won't be surprised if he doesn't. I wish I felt different. I believe truly accepting Christ, and I will be praying for that, as it's best for everyone.

 

 

Walking In Leaves, Walking In Heaven

"I love autumn despite the drench weather. I think it symbolizes the end of misery and the beginning of glee. It gives hopes that sooner or later, flowers will bloom again, green buds will sprout from trees, and that which is dead will come back alive."

Bits Of Heaven

It's December... so what? LOL. More than anything I want to hold onto autumn, but I can feel it slipping away. It was so cold the other day I could barely hold my camera. Winter is making a loud, cold fuss, insinuating itself into my late autumn happiness. But there is nothing I can do, but cling to the colors of plum, crimson, and lemon drop yellow, and ignore the cold bitter deathly chill of stupid, inevitable, winter. I am just going to go about my days, kicking up piles of beautiful leaves, and concentrating on my photography!

There will be a lot of autumn left, as winter begins. And I will keep shooting those photos until the last skeleton tree begins to sprout the pink, and white and purple blossoms of spring!

Days In Heaven

"In Heaven it is always autumn"

~John Donne

Heaven definitely has autumn! Always autumn? Of that I am not so sure. I would think we would have all the seasons, if we had one. But maybe we get the best parts of all the seasons, you know? Summers would never be so hot that you couldn't think straight. Autumn would be all the colors that ever were! Colors that you had never seen before, all hanging off the branches of trees until time to give you a soft, warm, spider free blanket, on a cool, but not cold autumn day. 

Winter would have snowflakes that look soft, and cold on the autumn leaves, but they never get muddy and dirty, but they shine with diamond iridescence under the full autumn moon, so even nighttime can play along. Then spring comes, and behind each warm day are blossoms and leaves with just a hint of autumn remaining so that it all comes together at once.

 No day ever gets too hot, nor too cold, just beautiful with color everywhere! And there are of course cats. All the cats I have loved, running through the leaves, chasing butterflies for the purpose of play, just a game of catch and release. And there are vivid memories so that even in Heaven we can remember when we have had a perfect autumn day!

Just a picture and a quote tonight. Super busy, means super tired! I thought about maybe not doing a post for today, but I came across this photo in the archives from February, and thought it deserved to be seen! Just think, that pretty butterfly has already lived it's life, and moved on to the other side. I imagine that heaven must be  filled with the souls of a million butterflies! In fact, I can't imagine heaven without a creature of such beauty, but in truth, I imagine there is all kinds of beauty in heaven. And cats too. LOL.

What, and who, do you think you'll see in heaven?
