Here we go, Tennessee! Straight from the office of the Tennessee Secretary of State: I voted early - but only in the local general election in Metropolitan Nashville Davidson County. There are many hot races for Republican and Democratic nominations for state and federal offices. If you didn't vote early, make your voice heard on Thursday!

Tomorrow is Election Day! Tennessee voters may verify their registration status, polling location and hours, and view a sample ballot with the GoVoteTN app or at GoVoteTN.gov.

From the book of Romans - New Testament
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed -- a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith."

If you're concerned about term limits for U.S. Supreme Court justices or a Constitutional amendment limiting presidential immunity from prosecution, don't be. Article III of the U.S. Constitution states that judges "shall hold their Offices during good Behavior", which means lifetime. A Constitutional amendment must pass by a two-thirds majority in both houses of Congress and then be approved by three-fourths of state legislatures. These proposals by President Joe Biden will be mere talking points for election season.

President Joe Biden went public Monday with major changes he’s proposing for the U.S. Supreme Court: an enforceable code of ethics, term limits for justices and a constitutional amendment that would limit the justices’ recent decision on presidential immunity.

I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong -- that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith.

Well, the Atlanta Braves split a series with the New York Mets. The New York Yankees won a series at Fenway against the Boston Red Sox. The Cincinnati Reds, St. Louis Cardinals, and Chicago White Sox did not fare so well on this final weekend in July.

From the book of Romans - New Testament
First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being reported all over the world. God, whom I serve in my spirit in preaching the gospel of his Son, is my witness how constantly I remember you in my prayers at all times.

The latest on the assassination attempt on President Donald J. Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, from The Tennessean. God bless all American Presidents, and God bless the United States of 🇺🇸 America, too.

'I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear,' Trump said of the assassinatin attempt.

Photo: Associated Press 🔵: Donald J. Trump arrives for his campaign rally on Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania - just north of Pittsburgh. I just early voted "county general election only" on Saturday in Nashville and no longer take the position of either party. However, we can ALL take the position that whatever happened has no place in America. Here's hoping for a full recovery for President Trump and a return to the campaign trail ahead of his party's convention next week in Wisconsin.

We all want to include everyone from our respective social groups, even if they are aged 18-20. Note that most of the downtown h***y tonks have times at night when a "21+" limit kicks in. Of course, you probably don't want to be in some of those hotspots past the "21+" time, even if you ARE older than 20. 🤣
From my scan of this Nashville Guru article, I say check out Pinewood Social and Acme Feed & Seed further.

This all ages and 18+ guide will help you navigate Nashville’s party scene to score maximum fun for all (even for those 21 and older).

When it comes to Billboard charts, I would never bet against Taylor Swift. But "The Tortured Poets Department" won't be at the top of the Billboard 200 album chart forever, though. Zach Bryan's "The Great American Bar Scene" sees number 17 in its debut week on the Billboard 200. Here he comes, Taylor! 😉

Zach Bryan's 'The Great American Bar Scene' may challenge Taylor Swift's 'The Tortured Poets Department' for No. 1 on the Billboard 200 this week.

Early voting is underway in Tennessee. I don't take sides when it comes to politics. I just deliver my opinion and encourage you to deliver yours, too.

Several county offices, including one judge position in Nashville, will be on the general election ballot. Make your voice heard!

From the book of Romans - New Testament
Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God -- the gospel he promised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures regarding his Son, who as to his earthly life was a descendant of David, and who through the Spirit of holiness was appointed the Son of God in power by his resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord.

From AP Politics: The anxiety among Democratic representatives in Washington continues. So far ... no U.S. Senators have called for President Joe Biden to step aside as the standard bearer for 2024. The Republican National Convention is next week in Milwaukee. President Donald J. Trump will be nominated and will present his running mate to the party. Every election year is intriguing, but this one may have more high-stakes drama than any other in recent memory. Let's see what happens from here.

Tensions are running high over whether Biden should remain as the party’s nominee amid mounting concerns over his ability to lead the part to election victory.

An illustrated blog published in Nashville

In 2013, God called me to create Cloud Nine Higher. I was humbled and excited to reach out to single individuals in their 20s and early 30s in ways never before imagined. But as with many quests of faith, Cloud Nine Higher experienced some challenges along with other business ventures of mine. It all came to a screeching halt in 2017. As my world came unraveled, I thought that I might never practice law in the traditional sense again. I certainly wasn’t going to publish a magazine or blog.

But God sees his people through challenges and has a way of setting us back on the path he chose for us. And so the Cloud Nine Higher brand revived in time for my 46th birthday on July 1, 2019. I have learned a lot and will continue to do so. The naysayers and voices of doubt are being silenced. God is good all the time, even when we cannot see him.

So welcome back to Cloud Nine Higher. If you have a strong sense of self and sense of humor too, this brand is for you. If you prefer thinking over talking, this brand is for you. If you are in your 20s or 30s (as I once was) and are independent, grounded, attractive in your own right, you have come to the right place. You will see the best of Faith, Fast Times, and Allure. Gorgeous women in states of dress and undress who you can actually meet in person because they live in your area. All the best sports banter - Major League Baseball and NCAA football and hoops. Dating, s*x, pop culture, law, politics, and the best Nashville after hours life you can imagine. Be real and expect the same of others. Respect yourself and others, too.

The name inspiration comes from a pop song that emerged in about 2011 - “Higher” recorded by Taio Cruz featuring Travie McCoy and Kylie Minogue in alternate versions. This brand is taking me higher. And I hope that it will take you higher, too.
