Amid Uncertainty, Veteran Finds Hope In God’s Word
MBC Pathway Feature
Life is anything but certain, especially amid conflict. But, for one Missouri Baptist church member and Marine Corps veteran, the truth of God’s Word provides certainty during tumultuous days.
Tim Garrison, member of Second Baptist Church in Springfield, has already experienced tremendous and unique changes in his life. As a federal prosecutor and major in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve (USMCR), in 2013 Garrison was recruited to be a Marine Corps judge advocate to help train local police, prosecutors, and judges in Afghanistan. Within a year, he had assumed the role of Chief of Operational Law for Regional Command Southwest, which ensured combat operations were conducted according to the rules of engagement and applicable law in the volatile Helmand and Nimruz Provinces. Upon leaving Afghanistan and returning to Missouri, Garrison was appointed by President Trump in 2018 as the United States Attorney for the Western District of Missouri. He currently serves as an appellate judge on the Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals, while also working as a civilian federal prosecutor.

Biden Shows How Bothered He Is By Protesters
Joe Biden took a big defeat this past week in trying to pass his massive spending spree legislation. He didn’t get the bipartisan infrastructure bill passed and he found out that he wasn’t going to get the $3.5 trillion he was asking for on the reconciliation bill either. He wasn’t able to get past the stalemate between the progressives and the moderates. Now he’s working — tail between his legs — on paring down the bill to a more reasonable number in the hopes that he can get recalcitrant Democrats to sign aboard it. Biden is now hoping he can generate some support for the bill by going on the road. He was off to Michigan today, a critical swing state. But the most popular guy ever was met by more protesters — a constant sight with which he has had to deal. Such protesting also clearly disturbs him, since he mentioned it during his rant in Shanksville on 9/11. “What would the people who died be thinking?” Biden declared. “They think it makes sense to be doing this kinda thing where you ride down the street and see a sign that says ‘F so-and-so?’” How inappropriate on 9/11 to use the dead to protect himself from political criticism. But very revealing about his psyche. So no doubt he wasn’t going to be happy today.

Covid Experts Urge Biden To Scale Back Booster Campaign
A vocal contingent of prominent doctors and scientists is pressing the Biden administration to scrap its plans to provide booster shots to all previously vaccinated adults, according to five people familiar with the matter. Several of these outside experts, including some who advised President Joe Biden’s transition team, objected to the administration’s approach during a private, off-the-record call last week with federal health officials. Current U.S. data on vaccine performance does not justify using boosters widely to reduce the risk of breakthrough infections and slow the virus’ spread, the experts said. They told officials on the Sept. 27 call — including Biden’s chief medical adviser, Anthony Fauci; White House policy adviser Cameron Webb; and the heads of the Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — that the shots should be given to people most at risk of severe Covid-19 to reduce hospitalizations and deaths. The growing split between Biden’s team and outside health experts on boosters threatens to disrupt a key source of support the administration has relied on to sell its vaccination drive to the American public.
