In Surprise Move Google Cuts Pride Month from Calendar App | The Gateway Pundit

Did anyone see this coming? Google is dropping Pride Month from its calendar.

For several years now, a slew of multinational corporations have spent the month of June making communal proclamations of Pride month everywhere.

“Woke” companies – from YouTube and Mercedes-Benz to Lenovo, Nestle and Sephora – updated their logos as June began.

Yet, these corporations are only force-feeding Americans and Europeans their pansexual, non-binary, transgender propaganda. Pandering businesses are careful not to promote their “pride” to Muslim countries.

Google led this movement for the past several years. And, for the record, Google did not include Pride month in Turkey and China. That was a bridge too far.

But now that is all going to change. The Google calendar app has stopped mentioning various cultural events like Pride Month, Women’s History Month, and Black History Month.

Users are accusing Google of bowing to the right-wing pressure campaign in the country today. They blame Trump.

According to the Kenya Times, Google Spokesperson Madison Cushman Veld, while confirming the changes, stated that Google reached the decision after it found it difficult to maintain observance of these events across different countries.

So, no more Pride Month from Google. Did anyone see this coming?

January 4 | Putting Off Procrastination

scripture reading:  Ecclesiastes 11:4–6  
key verse:  Proverbs 12:24  

The hand of the diligent will rule,
But the lazy man will be put to forced labor.

In Gone with the Wind Scarlett O’Hara repeatedly uttered this now celebrated line whenever faced with calamity: “I’ll think about that tomorrow.” How often do we—either intentionally or not—develop the same “tomorrow” outlook? We too easily find ways to put off until tomorrow what we can do today.

A sober look at procrastination’s aftereffects, however, might help us realize its subtle dangers. Procrastination can cause us to miss out on God’s best for our lives. When we fail to confront an issue or a situation, we fail to develop the godly, positive character desired by God. By hesitating, we delay God’s blessings.

Prompt obedience always brings eventual blessings. When you procrastinate, you are dangerously close to disobedience—along with its consequences.

You can learn to face and deal with undesirable circumstances by trusting God to supply what you lack. He will give courage, wisdom, grace, mercy, power—whatever the need.

As you confront your problems rather than avoid them, your faith is nurtured and stretched. Your confidence grows; your fears subside.

Let your motto be: “Do it now as the Lord directs and enables me.” It will save a lot of heartache later.

Father, there may be difficult circumstances ahead during this year, but give me the courage to face them in Your sufficiency. Nurture and stretch my faith. Help me in Your strength and power to deal with issues as they occur.1
