Today's
March 28th, 2026
the third event of
RALLY
also
but there are more than 3,100 planned across
AMERICA
4-6pm (EDT)
is a great local option
on You Tube, etc.
[they work together]
There must be a cosmic reason (unplanned by humans) for these two events to collide on the same weekend, so that our focus goes from "no one human as a King" over America, to the day that we commemorate Jesus Christ, the true King, that shortly after His triumphal entrance, the people betray and shout out to "Crucify Him".
However, as coincidental, or God-incidence this might be, this is not the main purpose of my blogging today but this is such an IMPORTANT event and part of HIS STORY (History) too!
<><><>
The reason of this season (that is near ending with this HOLY WEEK) is or was the 40 days of LENT ... I was taught that Lent is a solemn time of preparation, repentance and spiritual renewal in the Christian church, the foundational one that I was raised in also maintained that it was a time to "give up" something. Yet the main pillars of Lent are Prayer, Almsgiving and Fasting. Often people "fast" other things besides food, candy, meals, soda drinks, etc. like social media (as I often do so as not to distract me from what truly matters, preparing the Way for Jesus Christ in every day of our lives, but especially as it leads to His Death by Crucifixion, Burial in a Tomb, and His Resurrection to redeem us, as a sacrificial Lamb - the reason why we purpose to "sacrifice" something by "giving it up" yet actually this time is meant to deepen our relationship through repentance (change) and reflection of and with Jesus Christ, drawing us eternally to God, the Father. In the life of a believer, it means renewal of our baptismal promises that many of us forget if we don't take the time to repeat each year & remind ourselves to change our direction, moving away from things that lead us away from God to living more godly lives, which to me means more compassion, caring for others - the oppressed, the poor, and the needy (almsgiving) - which is also the connection to today's event across America; as we reorient our lives toward God and Christ-like character and His way toward loving one another, caring for one another and giving to others.
This sacrificial time can also be a season when we lay down habits, hurts and hang-ups we have. Mid-way in Lent, I discovered yet another book to work into the plan I had already begun with You Version for March, 31 days of me "giving up" WORRY ... God clearly directed me to lay down my WORRY that kinda was part of my WEARY (weariness) and my problem, but before discovering said book, I never thought about this as what I need to lay down - give up.
Even though I was already working on the YV plan, I had never thought of this as what I need to focus on and hopefully get rid of in my life (if only it was that easy, to read, say and just do it) because truthfully if you've been stuck in this rut for as many years as I have, it will take more than LENT to break this habit and kick this vice to the curb (just like any other, it's a recovery process that you constantly need to work on and be aware of this) but as with others, the first step is to admit your problem. So "GIVE UP WORRY for LENT" will also refresh the Peace of Jesus Christ in my life and I will continue to pursue PEACE, which again is the reason for today and this impromptu blog post along with NO KINGS FLAGSHIP RALLY, to seek PEACE, not war, nor king, nor crown, no thrones, nor anything elevating themselves above the name of Jesus Christ, our King, our God ... who looks down upon us and wonders "how long?" just like we do.
I would love to share more about "giving up worry" but I have not been very successful with it yet. Plus I really want to get this posted in time so you don't miss out on Today's Events.
