ONE ENDS AND A NEW PRESIDENT BEGINS - Just a Minute for Friday 01-23-09

            Paul Harvey’s voice can be heard above the snowbanks in the Midwest – IT’S FRIDAY!

 

            And I think just about everyone is ready for a bit of relaxation. GWB is makin’ coffee, fishin’ and readin’ th’ paper – all before 8AM.  I take a more type “B” or “C” or maybe even a “z” ( see the small “z” approach to life. I like what the Scripture depicts in the 3^rd and 4^th chapters of Hebrews about those who believe in God and are committed to serving HIM shall enter a rest – similar to that when God rested on the seventh day of creation. But some do NOT enter… because their work is not mixed with belief and trust in God.

 

            So… it’s good at this time when we seem to be concerned with newness… and new beginnings to see what is true from the Holy Book… and what is restful…(Heb 4:3 “For we which have believed do enter into rest as He said…”) Read it… study the word… meditate on it – and you’ll come to the place where God will instruct you in His will – and you’ll know Him and the works He ordained from before the foundation of the world. – What certainty… in a world that’s just about totally ‘uncertain.’

 

            Some folks have given me the thumbs up to the Wednesday program – so far no critical comments… which is more than I can say for *any* of the politicians in view. That is a world hummin’ with mosquitoes or gnats or always ‘something.’ Isn’t it interesting that among the plagues that came upon the Egyptians when God got Pharaoh in the place where he was willing to let the Israelites go – there were gnats and flies and frogs… irritants that make things really uncomfortable.

 

            I’ve been reading “The Reagan Diaries” – it’s something on my to-do list for a long time… and it’s a very encouraging enterprise. “The Gipper’s” influence lives on. Praise the Lord.

 

            Well… better get this posted. Thanks for coming by… See you Monday?

 

            Cordially, IN HIM

“JUST A MINUTE”

ONE PRESIDENT ENDS A NEW ONE BEGINS

Just A Minute – The new President starts out on a rocky road. The very first thing – the official oath – needs repeating in private. Out of 44, he’s number three who’s taken the oath more than once.

Just to hold my perspective I’m reading, “The Reagan Diaries” the only daily personal Presidential account covering any U.S. Presidency. I recommend it for those, like me, who can use a fresh sense of history.

Here’s a CNN Obama quote I aired last June 30th:

(quote) ”At certain times over the past…months, I have found…my patriotism challenged – at times as a result of my own carelessness…[I vow never to challenge the patriotism of others in the campaign…so] “I will not stand idly by when…others question mine.”

Finally, Doug Brinkley, Editor of the Reagan Diaries writes: “[Reagan realized he] did not ‘become’ president, but was given ‘temporary custody’ of an office that ultimately belongs to the people.”  To the new President’s politically and socially immature supporters whose actions threaten to stain his inaugural and his presidency – that’s wise counsel.
