Each week we take one day and thank God for the blessings we have received during the week.

We all want to pray but sometimes we find it difficult to begin our prayer.

Many Pastors and Ministers suggest you begin your prayer by praying back God’s words from Scripture

Pray: Our Father in heaven, Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Lord hear Your words: Psalm 75:1 We thank you, O God! We give thanks because you are near.

Lord hear my praise and thanksgiving (Say your praise, and thankfulness for God's work in your life this week) - In Jesus name I pray - Amen

Some things to be thankful for:

Life and Health: Thank God for the gift of life, breath, physical strength, and the ability to experience the world each day.

Salvation and Grace: Give thanks for Jesus Christ—His forgiveness, mercy, and the hope of eternal life.

Love and Relationships: Be grateful for God’s unfailing love and the people He places in your life—family, friends, and mentors

Provision and Protection: Thank Him for daily needs: food, shelter, safety and for His peace in every situation.

Purpose and Growth: Praise Him for your calling, your growth through trials, and the chance to live with purpose and joy

Good Wednesday morning.

Today is a day to honor and thank the millions of military veterans who have dedicated themselves to preserving and furthering this great nation. Several blurbs and links highlighting Florida's focus on veterans are sprinkled throughout today's edition.

To those who served, a grateful nation says thank you.

Here is my latest epilogue piece — "Winners and losers emerging from the St. Petersburg Mayoral race and other Tampa Bay elections." It's 8,500 words of score-boarding and score-settling. Please consider reading.

Elevance Health has named Mike Jones president of its Medicaid and Medicare operations in Florida, putting the veteran healthcare executive at the helm of Simply Healthcare Plans and four others serving the state.

“My priority is to work with our Florida teams to build on what is working and find practical ways to improve care and service for our members,” Jones said. “That means listening to members and providers, responding to their needs and making decisions that deliver meaningful improvements in quality, access and the healthcare experience.”

Mike Jones takes the reins of five Florida health plans, bringing two decades of experience.

Jones will also lead Clear Health Alliance, Freedom Health, Optimum HealthCare and HealthSun. He brings more than 20 years of healthcare leadership experience. Jones previously served as market president of Navvis Healthcare in Florida, where he oversaw Medicaid shared-savings and risk-based contracts.

Before that, he was president and CEO of Molina Healthcare in Florida. He also held senior roles managing Medicaid and Medicare operations across multiple states, as well as leadership positions at UnitedHealthcare, Lumeris and Humana.

“Strong partnerships between health plans, state agencies and providers are essential to improving healthcare access and outcomes for Floridians,” Agency for Health Care Administration Secretary Shevaun Harris said. “I look forward to working with Mike to build on these efforts, strengthen care coordination and ensure Floridians have access to the quality care they deserve.”

Situational awareness

—@alexbruesewitz: I just had a productive call with @LauraLoomer. We agree on the need to strengthen disclosure rules for paid political content, especially content funded by foreign governments or interests. She made clear that she has never been paid by any foreign government, and I believe her. We also discussed how the influencer ecosystem has drifted far from its independent roots and is now heavily shaped by special interests and lobbyists. Paid political advocacy is currently the only major form of sponsored online content that does not require clear disclosure. Promote a protein bar and you must label it as a paid partnership. Get paid to oppose the President’s tariffs or other policies, and no disclosure is required. Both parties routinely work with influencers to advance candidates and causes; I have direct experience with this. This is totally unregulated space. It’s time for the FTC to update its guidelines so paid political content is treated with the same transparency standards as commercial endorsements.

—@JonMcGowan: One side effect of the Republican victories in Florida is that politicos are so focused on taking credit for what went right, they won't see the signs of what went wrong. Nick Saban famously went back to work the day after winning a national championship. Work still had to be done. Rs in Florida need to do the same soul-searching and analysis as the national party. Duval County is becoming a Democrat stronghold. Safe seats were too close. Florida is in play in 2028.

—@JYapo: Proud of my friend @bradherold. He put faith first, and everything else followed. Not just the sharp work he put into Byron Donalds’ historic win in Florida, but the life he built for himself and his family. The discipline, the consistency, the quiet choices that never made the headlines but clearly shaped the man he is. That kind of foundation doesn’t happen by accident. Well done, Brad.

—@FloridaRaemi: I am not running for House District 22. House District 22 needs a Representative from Alachua County to keep it red. We have lower-propensity voters who need to be met at their doors and called personally by the candidate to get them to the polls. I like Chad Johnson, and he’s a good guy. He had his chance. He honestly did not do the boots-on-the-ground work required for Alachua County. I will always be the volunteer to speak the truth others will not. The fact that we need a Representative from Alachua County is the elephant in the room Chad’s close friends won’t even address.
