AIR FORCE ONE'S CARBON FOOTPRINT -- Just A Minute Radio for Wednesday 02-11-09

            Howdy everybody –

 

            Here in SC one would have thought it was June 1 – but we have to be careful and pray lest the peach crop get blasted in the bud. One thing is encouraging. The seasons go on no matter what Washington does. In fact – taken in the light of eternity – whatever Washington does or doesn’t do does not escape God’s control and His plan. I’m still convinced of that and that conviction grows stronger and stronger with me every day.

 

            Billy-Bob and the crew at the Bait Shop and Sushi Bar over at Playfair on the Caroliner line just keep pluggin’ along. And I suspect much of America does too. Frankly I find it increasingly uninteresting to listen to the same arguments over and over. I realize “Eternal vigilance is the price of Liberty.”  I just wish they’d change the record every now and then. I spent about a half hour listening to what passes for debate in both the House and the Senate… at least the speeches in the House are generally shorter. I realize the fellows and girls are not on TV to entertain us – and thankfully the cable companies pay the bills on C-Span. It just gets awfully boring. I’m afraid I found it that way even when I was there in person.

 

            Anyway… America is great!  God is Great – and Just – and Good. If you’re trusting in his Son Jesus Christ – then in this world you really have nothing to concern you no matter what the circumstance. I say that fully recognizing what heartache and pain people often go through – but I also say it realizing that God, the creator and sustainer of the Universe – of all things that are – loved us enough to send His only son to lovingly give his life – die the shameful death which we deserved -- to redeem our souls from the clutches of the Destroyer… Satan. These beautiful spring- like days remind me HE IS RISEN and has overcome death and sin. Our redemption is assured by the person and work of Christ – there is no greater security. May God bless us all.

 

            Cordially, IN HIM

 

            Jack
