Howdy Folks…
Hope you had a good weekend and are ready to settle in for the week. We’re here for the long slog until Nov. 4th brings relief from the slings and arrows war. Hopefully we’ll catch a break from the media madness… but I only see a little ‘sensibleness’ around the edges.
Strangely enough the New York Times caught a glimpse of the ratings the ‘Fair and Balanced’ network is doing and since their readership – along with most major city papers – has been sliding (and the used car lots are all tapped out of advertising funds) they thought they might turn back to news *reporting* for a change rather than editorializing all over the place.
So a friend sent me an e-mail clipping from the Saturday NYT which actually was fairly balanced and had some straightforward facts in it. Now I mustn’t be carried away – one robin doesn’t make a spring – the old saying goes. But it was uncharacteristic for the Times – at least in my opinion. Maybe the weather has already turned cooler in Wasilla. Nobody reads the Saturday paper so they figure they couldn’t do too much harm.
Anyway – today’s JUST A MINUTE is a break from the drone of politics for a while… we hope to make it last. I think as several observers mentioned, having her (Gov. Sarah) in that news mix is a breath of fresh air. But those of us who believe in prayer… should take a deep breath… get down on our knees and pray for her and her family. Satan is going to unleash everything within his grasp to discredit her and make Senator McCain’s picking her, get very uncomfortable. It’s coming – so brace yourselves and get a grin on your chin.
Today… take a pause to sort of ‘smell the coffee beans’ which I’ve heard a lot of people who don’t drink coffee say they like to do. It gives them a comfortable feeling. And we could sure use some of that.
Cordially, IN HIM
Jack

“JUST A MINUTE”
THE BIG BANG IS OVER
Just A Minute – Well, the big bang is over and the world still turns.
I gathered this couplet from the OLD FARMER’S ALMANAC: It is the summer’s great last heat, / It is the fall’s first chill: They meet. – by Sara Morgan Bryan Piatt. No – I had never heard of her either – but she is an American poet born in
Why mention it? Just to realize what we miss by ignoring the almanac. For instance -- did you miss Ramadan beginning on September 2nd – I did. Or know the official starting gun for fall -- autumnal equinox occurs on the 22nd at 11:44 AM. We’re at the peak of the hurricane season with draughts the Old Farmer’s predicted on its 2008 cover.
Oh yes – Jupiter will blaze in the southern sky from nightfall until about eleven – and just in case you missed it -- we’re in an election year.
