Today, we're recapping last night's presidential debate, the release of the newest iPhone and
other Apple tech, police footage of Dolphin's wide receiver Tyreke Hill detainment, and
other top news for Wednesday, September 11th.
Stay informed while remaining focused on Christ with the pour over today.
Here's the quote of the day, you can do more than pray after you have prayed, but you can
never do more than pray until you have prayed, but you can never do more than pray until you have prayed.
AJ Gordon.
Let's get started with some espresso shots.
Former president Trump and vice president Harris
talked in person for the first time ever last night
and a vibrant friendship seems unlikely.
Trump worked to pin Harris to President Biden's policies,
blaming her for high inflation
and issues at the US-Mexico border.
He also criticized her as a flip-flopper
who abandoned progressive policies in order to win votes,
for example, a ban on fracking, EV mandates,
and decriminalized border crossings.
Harris accused Trump of lying
and running the same stale playbook that helps
himself and wealthy friends, not the American people. Her campaign, Hopes the Night, also showed
Harris, 59, as the young, more mentally fit candidate compared to Trump, 78. Pre-debate
polls show a very tight race, with 30% of voters saying the debate itself might impact their choice in November.
Here's a verse to consider when you're tempted to argue your point until your conversation
partner admits bitter defeat.
Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
If anyone thinks he knows anything, he does not yet know it as he ought to know it.
But if anyone loves God, he is known by him."
1 Corinthians 8, 1-3
Apple celebrated the iPhone sweet 16 Monday.
The tech giant announced the new iPhone 16 and 16 Plus and 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max,
hoping iUsers will finally take the bait to trade in their iPhone 5s.
The new iOS 18, available for iPhone 15 Pros and up, features a camera with visual intelligence.
Just aim the camera at a restaurant and Siri will serve reviews, the menu, and reservation tips.
Siri can
also pull info from your text messages, but like in a helpful not creepy way, to
remind me which movie Kathleen said to watch or send grandma pics from the zoo
Saturday. Apple still believes an accessory a day keeps the doctor away.
Its new slightly slimmer watch can detect sleep apnea and the new AirPods
Pro 2 can
act as over-the-counter hearing aids.
Our ultimate purpose is to glorify God, the Creator of the universe, great innovator,
and inventor of everything.
However you engage with your upgraded or not phone, remember to use technology to point
others to eternal hope in Him.
Colossians 1, 15 and 16 says,
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
For everything was created by Him in heaven and on earth, the visible and the invisible,
whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities, all
things have been created through him and for him.
Police have released a 100 plus minute body cam compilation from Tyreek Hill's detainment.
Footage shows a rapid escalation between police and the Dolphins' receiver, who was pulled over for reportedly driving 60 mph in a 40 mph zone outside Hard Rock Stadium before
Sunday's game.
Hill gave officers his license and rolled his window up.
He was told to keep the window down, then was pulled out of the car.
Two teammates stopped after seeing Hill, and one of them was briefly handcuffed.
The Miami Dolphins are defending Hill, accusing the police of using unnecessary force and
hostility.
Hill's lawyers said they're exploring all legal remedies.
The police union defended the officers, saying Hill wasn't immediately cooperative and
was handcuffed for immediate safety.
One officer was placed on administrative leave, and Miami Dade has promised a thorough
objective investigation.
Culturally hot topics frequently make people think, speak, and act poorly, including us.
We can respect others and represent God better if we are quick to listen and slow to speak.
James 1, 19 and 20 says,
My dear brothers and sisters, understand this.
Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger, for human anger
does not accomplish God's righteousness.
Hey, it's Kathleen with the Poor Over.
I'm really, really trying to avoid the mid-afternoon slump lately.
I recently read an article by Element founder Rob Wolf on the best way to caffeinate.
One of his suggestions was to wait for an hour after waking up.
I know, I know, but I have been trying it.
Instead of coffee first thing, I drink Element to give me a replenishing boost after my dehydrating
slumber.
My current favorite is raspberry salt, and I'm actually noticing a difference. I feel confident
with Element's science-backed electrolyte ratio and zero sugar formula
added to my daily routine. Join my experiment! TPO readers get eight

An overnight Israeli airstrike in Gaza killed at least 19 and wounded over 60, according

to target October 7th militants.
SpaceX and billionaire Jared Isaacman are teaming up again in the first private leap
for mankind.
Well, at least the first non-NASA spacewalk.

yesterday sending Isaacman and three crew members farther into orbit than anyone's
been since NASA's Apollo program to examine the effects of space on the human body.
The Princess of Wales has finished chemotherapy.
