LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN

December 25, 2023

HEATHER COX RICHARDSON

DEC 25, 2023

In the summer heat of July 1776, revolutionaries in 13 of the British colonies in North America celebrated news that the members of the Second Continental Congress, meeting in Philadelphia, had adopted the Declaration of Independence. In July, men had cheered the ideas that “these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States,” and that, in contrast to the tradition of hereditary monarchy under which the American colonies had been organized, the representatives of the thirteen united states intended to create a nation based on the idea “that all men are created equal” and that governments were legitimate only if those they governed consented to them. 

But then the British responded to the colonists’ fervor with military might. They sent reinforcements to Staten Island and Long Island and by September had forced General George Washington to evacuate his troops from New York City. After a series of punishing skirmishes across Manhattan Island, by November the British had pushed the Americans into New Jersey. They chased the colonials all the way across the Delaware River into Pennsylvania.

By mid-December the future looked bleak for the Continental Army and the revolutionary government it backed. The 5,000 soldiers with Washington who were still able to fight were demoralized from their repeated losses and retreats, and since the Continental Congress had kept enlistments short so they would not risk a standing army, many of the men would be free to leave the army at the end of the year, weakening it even more.

As the British troops had taken over New York City and the Continental soldiers had retreated, many of the newly minted Americans outside the army had come to doubt the whole enterprise of creating a new, independent nation based on the idea that all men were created equal. Then things got worse: as the American soldiers crossed into Pennsylvania, the Continental Congress abandoned Philadelphia on December 12 out of fear of a British invasion, regrouping in Baltimore (which they complained was dirty and expensive).

By December, the fiery passion of July had cooled. 

“These are the times that try men’s souls,” read a pamphlet published in Philadelphia on December 19. “The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.”

The author of The American Crisis was Thomas Paine, whose January 1776 pamphlet Common Sense had solidified the colonists’ irritation at the king’s ministers into a rejection of monarchy itself, a rejection not just of King George III, but of all kings. 

Now he urged them to see the experiment through. He explained that he had been with the troops as they retreated across New Jersey and, describing the march for his readers, told them “that both officers and men, though greatly harassed and fatigued, frequently without rest, covering, or provision, the inevitable consequences of a long retreat, bore it with a manly and martial spirit. All their wishes centred in one, which was, that the country would turn out and help them to drive the enemy back.”

For that was the crux of it. Paine had no doubt that patriots would create a new nation, eventually, because the cause of human self-determination was just. But how long it took to establish that new nation would depend on how much effort people put into success. “I call not upon a few, but upon all: not on this state or that state, but on every state: up and help us; lay your shoulders to the wheel; better have too much force than too little, when so great an object is at stake,” Paine wrote. “Let it be told to the future world, that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive, that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet and to repulse it.”

In mid-December, British commander General William Howe had sent most of his soldiers back to New York to spend the winter, leaving garrisons across the river in New Jersey to guard against Washington advancing.

On Christmas night, having heard that the garrison at Trenton was made up of Hessian auxiliaries who were exhausted and unprepared for an attack, Washington crossed back over the icy Delaware River with 2400 soldiers in a winter storm. They marched nine miles to attack the garrison, the underdressed soldiers suffering from the cold and freezing rain. Reaching Trenton, they surprised the outnumbered Hessians, who fought briefly in the streets before they surrendered.

The victory at the Battle of Trenton restored the colonials’ confidence in their cause. Soldiers reenlisted, and in early January they surprised the British at Princeton, New Jersey, driving them back. The British abandoned their posts in central New Jersey, and by March the Continental Congress moved back to Philadelphia. Historians credit the Battles of Trenton and Princeton with saving the Revolutionary cause.

“Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered,” Paine wrote, “yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value.”

LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN

HEATHER COX RICHARDSON

[hiswordsarekisses]

Absolutely amazing - convicting - inspiring - beautiful - I love it so very much!!!!!

From Lynette Hughes:

Intercessory prayer is done most often in private when no one is looking except God. Intercessory prayer is offered on behalf of others and intercessors rarely get any recognition in the church. The men that have been the most heroic for God have been the men with the greatest prayer life. America has produced some of the greatest prayer warriors in the world.

John Nelson Hyde was one of them. He was a missionary to Pakistan through whom millions of people accepted Jesus Christ. They say it was just awesome when this man went into prayer. There's a little book out on him called "Praying Hyde" that would be well worth your reading.

Edward Payson, {1783-1827} a Congregational pastor, better known as Praying Payson of Portland, Maine, was another great prayer warrior. He used to kneel at the side of his bed and pray, and pray, and pray. When they washed his body for burial, they found calloused pads on his knees like a camel.

Tradition says that Apostle James had camel's knees, but it's a living fact that Payson had them. When they were washing him, somebody said, "What abnormal knees. They're heavy with callouses." That's because he used to pray at the side of his bed with energy - and he wore two deep grooves about six or seven inches long into that hard floor where he prayed and made intercession. His prayers brought revival and during the 20 years of his ministry, his church witnessed more than 700 converts who came to saving faith in Jesus Christ.

Or what about Rees Howells? {1879-1950} one of the most effective intercessors of the 20th century and founder of the Bible College of Wales. Leonard Ravenhill met his widow Mrs. Rees Howells. They stood on the terrace of her home and she turned and said to him, "Do you see the room there?" He said, "Yes, I see that room." "That door?" "Yes." "Rees went through that door at six o'clock in the morning and he stayed there until six o'clock at night every day for 11 months except the one day that his mother died."

David Brainerd was an American missionary to Native Americans, especially the Delaware Indians of New Jersey,k who died at the age of 29. David had terminal tuberculosis and only weighed about 95 pounds. An entry from his diary reads: "I got up this morning and the Indians were still committing adultery and drinking and beating their tom-toms and shouting like hell itself. I prayed from a half hour after sunrise to a half hour before sunset. There was nowhere to pray in the Indian camp. I went into the woods and knelt in the snow. It was up to my chin."

No, he didn't have a heater with him or anything else. He was just there in the frigid snow, tuberculosis and all. He continued, "I wrestled in prayer until a half hour before sunset, and I could only touch the snow with the tips of my fingers. The heat of my body had melted the snow."

What amazing intercessory prayer! It was prayer which gave to his life and ministry their marvelous power. It was prayer that gave him an awareness and abhorrence of personal sin. It was prayer that centered his heart in God. It was prayer that made him long for more of Jesus. It was prayer that motivated his service.

David Brainerd, Praying Payson of Portland, John Hyde, and Rees Howells - when God puts the fire to their prayer life, I don't think there will be anything lost. It won't be flammable wood, hay or straw; it will be highly prized, gold, silver, and precious stones.

When Jesus examines our prayer life, will we receive a reward or will we experience loss? Well, God pity us. We can't even get people together long enough to pray for a half-hour; and we have velvet cushions on the chairs, central heating and air conditioning, and soft fluffy carpets on the floor. Brothers and Sisters, are you prepared to stand before the judgment seat of Christ? We may not have to fear the Lake of Fire, but will we need to fear the eyes of Christ that can be like fire piercing through all our hypocritical religiosity and pretense?

In a landslide-stricken town in California, life is like camping with no power, gas (AP) Nick Mardesic and his family are living off the power grid, so light at night comes from a flashlight, and a hot meal and shower require driving several miles to his parents’ home. The family is not in a rugged location, but rather on a scenic peninsula on the edge of Los Angeles. And they aren’t off the grid by choice. Their power and gas were cut because worsening landslides from two years of heavy rain are threatening to tear apart scores of multimillion-dollar homes perched over the Pacific Ocean. The landslides are the latest catastrophe in California, already burdened by worsening wildfires and extreme weather that has swung from heat waves to torrential rains that have caused flooding and mudslides in the past year. In Rancho Palos Verdes, entire homes have collapsed or been torn apart. Walls have shifted and large fissures have appeared on the ground. Evacuation warnings are in effect and swaths of the community have had their power and gas turned off. Gas service was cut to more residents on Thursday and more were expected Friday. Others are contending with temporary water shutdowns to fix sewer lines.

Hunter Biden Pleads Guilty in Tax Case (NYT) Hunter Biden pleaded guilty on Thursday to nine federal tax charges in Los Angeles after telling his legal team that he refused to subject his family to another round of anguish and humiliation after a gut-wrenching gun trial in Delaware three months ago. The dramatic development signaled the final stages of a fraught investigation of more than five years into the period when Mr. Biden bankrolled his uncontrollable drug and alcohol addiction by leveraging his last name into lucrative overseas consulting contracts—and not paying taxes. This was a plea without a deal, a unilateral decision by defense lawyers persuaded they could not prevail in the trial—and not part of a settlement that included a reduced punishment. He will remain free on bond until his sentencing hearing in mid-December.

Are we moving toward a cashless, checkless society? (USA Today) Paul Dickson pulled out a $20 bill recently when he was at a baseball game at Camden Yards and wanted to buy a beer. Another guy in line started laughing "because there's no place in the ballpark where you can spend cash," said Dickson. Dickson, 85, who is an Orioles fan while his son and grandson are Nationals' fans, paid for the $17.50 beer by credit card. He said he is not opposed to using his credit card or other methods of payment, but he's offended that his choice to use cash where he wants is slowly becoming more limited. “It's sort of this thing where I say 'Wait, it's my money. I'll pay you however I want,' " said Dickson. "It's almost like they're (businesses) saying 'Well, we're removing an option, which is for our benefit." Cash and checks, the dominant forms of currency for generations, are now increasingly not welcome. More businesses became cashless during the COVID-19 pandemic, citing the need to protect their workers' health by not requiring them to exchange paper money and coins with the public, said Bankrate Senior Industry Analyst Ted Rossman. But some businesses were already moving in that direction, saying a no-cash policy was more efficient for operations.

Commercial Ships (Construction Physics) In 2022, the United States had five large oceangoing commercial ships on order, compared to 1,794 such ships in China, 734 in South Korea, 587 in Japan and 319 in Europe. According to the U.S. Navy, China’s shipbuilding capacity is now about 232 times as much as the United States’. The United States has never had a particularly robust commercial shipbuilding industry, and was not really good at converting wartime production into a stable business: Within three years of World War II, ownership of global shipping tonnage was down to 48 percent. Even during the Liberty Ship times of World War II, the American industry wasn’t anywhere near as efficient as Britain’s industry on a labor-hour basis. The United States hasn’t accounted for more than 5 percent of global new ship tonnage since 1960.

Persistent power outages in Puerto Rico spark outrage as officials demand answers (AP) A growing number of Puerto Rican government officials on Thursday demanded answers from two private electric companies as the U.S. territory struggles with persistent power outages. Tens of thousands of customers including schools, homes and businesses were left without electricity this week amid selective power cuts stemming from a deficit in generation, with several units out of service for maintenance. Both companies were contracted after Puerto Rico’s Electric Power Authority privatized operations as it struggles to restructure a more than $9 billion debt load and tries to modernize aging infrastructure dating from the mid-20th century whose maintenance was long neglected. The outages come just weeks after Tropical Storm Ernesto swiped past the island and left more than 730,000 clients without power. Crews are still making permanent repairs to the island’s electric grid after Hurricane Maria razed it in September 2017 as a powerful Category 4 storm.

Macron names EU’s Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier as France’s new prime minister (AP) President Emmanuel Macron named Michel Barnier as France’s new prime minister on Thursday, hoping the Brexit negotiator and veteran conservative can work with the country’s bitterly divided legislature to end political turmoil that has roiled Macron’s presidency. Barnier, 73, is the oldest of the 26 prime ministers that have served modern France’s Fifth Republic. He replaces the youngest, Gabriel Attal, who was 34 when he was appointed just eight months ago. Barnier’s appointment ends more than 50 days of a caretaker government in France, but offers no guarantee of a return to political calm. Barnier faces the tough task of having to work with the acrimonious and deeply split hung parliament that emerged from an early legislative election that Macron called in June.

Sunken village emerges in Greece as drought dries up lake (Reuters) Central Greece’s shrinking Lake Mornos, which has dried up thanks to months of little rainfall and high temperatures, has reached the lowest water level it’s seen in decades. A sunken village hidden beneath the lake’s waters has begun to re-emerge thanks to low water levels, providing former residents with a glimpse of their old homes. The village, named Kallio, was flooded in the 1980s to create Lake Mornos, which is actually an artificial body of water made to hold water used in Athens and much of central Greece. Kallio’s re-emergence was a nostalgic sight for locals who used to live in the village, but also spells trouble for Greece. The hot, dry year means not enough rain has come to replenish the waters of Lake Mornos, which has shrunk from a total surface area of 6.5 square miles in August 2022 to just 4.5 square miles this year. Local wells have also begun drying up, which is even more concerning because they take water from underground reservoirs and not the lake—if the dry weather continues long enough, both groundwater and the lake will soon fall short of Greece’s needs.

Putin Drives Home a Perilous Point: Ukraine’s East Is Russia’s Main Goal (NYT) As Kyiv raced reinforcements to eastern Ukraine to try to stabilize its buckling defensive lines there, President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia amplified his threats against the region on Thursday, calling Moscow’s offensive in the area his military’s “first-priority goal.” Mr. Putin, speaking at an international conference in Vladivostok, sought to portray his army’s grueling advance in the eastern Donbas region as evidence of a failed Ukrainian military strategy. He largely dismissed Ukraine’s capture of hundreds of square miles of Russian territory in the Kursk region as little more than a distraction that would be dealt with over time.

With New Taliban Manifesto, Afghan Women Fear the Worst (NYT) No education beyond the sixth grade. No employment in most workplaces and no access to public spaces like parks, gyms and salons. No long-distance travel if unaccompanied by a male relative. No leaving home if not covered from head to toe. And now, the sound of a woman’s voice outside the home has been outlawed in Afghanistan, according to a 114-page manifesto released late last month that codifies all of the Taliban government’s decrees restricting women’s rights. “We are going back to the first reign of the Taliban, when women did not have the right to leave the house,” said Musarat Faramarz, 23, a woman in Baghlan Province, in northern Afghanistan, referring to the movement’s rule from 1996 to 2001. “I thought that the Taliban had changed, but we are experiencing the previous dark times again.” Since the Taliban regained power in August 2021, the authorities have systematically rolled back the rights that women—particularly those in less conservative urban centers—had won during the 20-year U.S. occupation. Today, Afghanistan is the most restrictive country in the world for women, and the only one that bans high school education for girls, experts say.

Super typhoon Yagi makes landfall in China’s Hainan (Reuters) Asia’s strongest storm this year, Super Typhoon Yagi, made landfall along the coast of China’s Hainan province on Friday, bringing gales and heavy rain which shut schools for a second day and cancelled flights in the South China Sea region. Packing maximum sustained winds of 234 km per hour (145 mph) near its centre, Yagi registers as the world’s second-most powerful tropical cyclone in 2024 so far, after the Category 5 Atlantic hurricane Beryl, and the most severe in the Pacific basin this year. The typhoon had shut schools, businesses and transport links in Hong Kong, Macau, Hainan and Guandong as well as airports in Vietnam, which it is predicted to hit, along with Laos, over the weekend.

Pope heads to Papua New Guinea after final Mass in Indonesia before an overflow crowd of 100,000 (AP) Pope Francis wrapped up his visit to Indonesia on Friday after celebrating Mass before an overflow crowd of 100,000, a final celebration before heading to Papua New Guinea for the second leg of his 11-day journey through Southeast Asia and Oceania. The crowd at the mass filled two sports stadiums and overflowed into a parking lot. “Don’t tire of dreaming and of building a civilization of peace,” Francis urged them in an ad-libbed homily. “Be builders of hope. Be builders of peace.”

Israeli forces appear to withdraw from a West Bank camp after a major military operation (AP) Israeli forces appeared to have withdrawn from three refugee camps in the occupied West Bank by Friday morning, after a more-than weeklong military operation that left dozens dead and a trail of destruction. The fighting has had a devastating effect on Palestinian civilians living in Jenin. Water and electric services have been cut, families have been confined to their homes and ambulances evacuating the wounded have been slowed on their way to nearby hospitals, as Israeli soldiers search for militants. Meanwhile, 26-year-old Turkish-American activist Aysenur Eygi was shot and killed during an anti-settlement protest in the West Bank town of Beita on Friday. The Israeli military admitted to firing at the demonstrators but said it is still looking into reports on how the foreign national died. Eygi was volunteering with the pro-Palestinian International Solidarity Movement to protest the Israeli settlement of Evyatar, which Israel authorized earlier this year. All Israeli settlements in the West Bank are considered illegal under international law.

Leftover Bombs (Hakai magazine) There are 1.5 million tonnes of munitions on the seafloors of the Baltic and North seas, remnants of the World Wars. The process of removing them is getting urgent, as weapon casings are breaking apart and will release carcinogens into the seas, so even if the acute risk of getting killed by one of the bombs might decrease, the chronic risk might start rising sharply. After the war, all the major parties had to get rid of their armaments, and many of them just dumped them at sea rather than try to decommission them on land. Lots of that took place in German waters given the, uh, general global disposition toward that particular territory at the time.

Debby brings torrential rain and tornado risk northward as it swiftly moves toward the Northeast.

After causing at least six deaths in the Southeast, Debby weakened to a tropical depression on Thursday but remained a dangerous storm as it gained speed, spreading torrential rain and a tornado threat northward.

By Thursday afternoon, the storm's center was located 45 miles east of Charlotte, North Carolina, yet its impacts extended from the Carolinas to southern Pennsylvania and New Jersey as it accelerated toward the Northeast.

Climate and Average Weather Year Round in 21210 - Baltimore MD:

A tornado watch was issued for parts of North Carolina through the DC-Baltimore area. Several tornado warnings were issued Thursday evening as the system generated thunderstorms with embedded rotation, including one for an observed tornado near Wilmington, Delaware.

Flood watches and warnings were issued along the Eastern Seaboard as heavy downpours moved into areas already saturated by Debby’s prolonged rainfall. The flood warnings extended all the way to the US-Canada border, with forecasts predicting several inches of rain in upstate New York, Vermont, and New Hampshire through Saturday.

Weather Forecast For 60707-Elmwood-Park-IL:

https://www.behance.net/gallery/201393011/Weather-Forecast-For-60707-Elmwood-Park-IL

Debby’s shift to the Northeast follows a tragic increase in its death toll, which rose to six on Thursday after a destructive tornado claimed a man’s life in Lucama, North Carolina. The tornado, which damaged homes and a school, struck about 35 miles southeast of Raleigh.

Track the storm: Debby’s path

Since making landfall in Florida as a Category 1 hurricane on Monday, Debby has unleashed over a foot of rain across parts of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. The torrential downpours have swollen rivers, flooded roads, and trapped people in cars, homes, and boats. In the coming days, potentially dangerous heat is expected across the region, further complicating recovery efforts.

As Debby heads toward the Northeast, more chaos looms, highlighting the intensifying impacts of human-driven climate change. Here’s the latest:

Debby’s death toll rises: A tornado spawned by Debby tore through Wilson County, North Carolina, early Thursday morning, causing significant damage to a middle school, a church, and multiple homes. In Lucama, a man was killed when his home collapsed, according to a county spokesperson. Debby has also claimed the lives of at least four people in Florida and one in Georgia.

At least a dozen tornadoes confirmed: As of Thursday, Debby has spawned at least a dozen tornadoes across parts of Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia. One tornado in Snow Hill, North Carolina, early Thursday was described as "large, extremely dangerous, and potentially deadly." A tornado watch is in effect until 8 p.m. ET for 6.8 million people in parts of eastern North Carolina and southern Virginia, including Raleigh, Virginia Beach, and Richmond.

Debby’s current path: The system is expected to pick up speed as its center moves northward, with its impacts reaching the Northeast. Debby will accelerate through Pennsylvania and New York on Friday, moving into New England by early Saturday afternoon. Heavy rain and flash flooding are expected across a region that was already soaked by storms earlier this week.

Disaster Declarations Across the Southeast: President Joe Biden has issued disaster declarations for Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas, all heavily affected by Debby this week. Over 700 Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) personnel have been deployed to the region, with search and rescue teams on standby to provide assistance as needed, according to an announcement from the agency on Wednesday.

Flash Flood Emergency: Debby’s intense rainfall led to a rare flash flood emergency issued by the National Weather Service after up to 8 inches of rain fell in just a few hours Wednesday night. This deluge isolated the town of Bladenboro, North Carolina, with floodwaters reaching depths of 3 feet.

Triple-Digit Heat for the Southeast: Following Debby’s impact, the Southeast is facing potentially dangerous heat, which is expected to continue through the weekend as recovery efforts proceed. While high temperatures are predicted to be in the upper 80s and lower 90s, heat indices—reflecting the combined effects of heat and humidity—could surpass 110 degrees, including in Steinhatchee, Florida, near Debby’s initial landfall.

‘It’s Like National Geographic in Our Backyard’

Debby’s torrential rains vividly demonstrate the effects of global warming, driven by fossil fuel pollution, which is causing storms to become wetter and intensify more rapidly. For example, Debby surged through near-record warm waters in the Gulf of Mexico, leading to its rapid intensification before it made landfall as a hurricane in Florida.

As Debby has moved through the Southeast, it has left behind scenes of devastation. Homes have been ravaged by winds and inundated with floodwaters, while roads have been washed out or submerged, creating dangerous conditions for affected communities.

In Raleigh, North Carolina, emergency crews rescued three children from a flooded Marsh Creek on Thursday after they became trapped while attempting to cross the water. According to CNN affiliate WRAL, the children, who were part of a group of five riding bikes, initially found the creek calm but were soon caught by the rising waters. An 11-year-old clung to a tree branch with his 8-year-old sister and their 10-year-old friend while awaiting rescue. They were saved within five minutes of the rescuers’ arrival.

In South Carolina’s Lowcountry, Adrienne LeBlanc's backyard in Bluffton has turned into a haven for alligators due to flooding. Though LeBlanc is accustomed to seeing alligators in the distance, she was taken aback to find her yard teeming with them after the heavy rains on Wednesday. “It’s like National Geographic in our backyard right now,” LeBlanc told CNN, noting she counted eight alligators swimming around her house and even observed some wrestling.

“I joked with my husband, ‘When I wake up tomorrow, that bad boy is going to be in our bedroom,’” LeBlanc said.

After living in Bluffton for 17 years, LeBlanc noted that this level of flooding was only familiar to her from Hurricane Matthew in 2016.

South Carolina has not experienced a named storm making landfall since Hurricane Ian struck as a Category 1 storm in 2022. The most recent named storm to affect the state was Tropical Storm Idalia in August 2023.

Oilfield Equipment Market Witnessing Stunning Growth by 2031

Crude oil serves as a fundamental source for numerous fuels that power various aspects of daily life. From powering electric plants to fueling automobiles and heating appliances, oil's versatility is integral to modern society. Skilled workers undertake the challenging task of extracting oil from underground reservoirs within expansive oil fields. This process involves the utilization of specialized oilfield equipment, designed to facilitate the efficient drilling and production of oil and gas.

Oilfield equipment encompasses a comprehensive array of components essential for oil and gas extraction.
