DO SAYING AND DOING MATCH? - Just a Minute for Monday 3-16-09

            Howdy –

 

            Washington’s permanent addiction seems to be to try and say one thing but when the light comes on or the heat gets hot – to try and do something different. Biggest example by far is the 787 Billion (with a “B”) spending bill that dumped more paper money on the market in one act than the USA spent in its entire history up to that time.

 

            If you don’t think that’s a BIG bill to pay off… your great grandchildren will!

 

            The permanent addiction of lawmakers, politicians and bureaucrats seems to be who can be most adept at saying one thing with fingers crossed behind the back – and doing something else entirely. The most recent example is being held up to the light by an unfortunate pastor who joined a religious advisory group organized under the GW Bush Administration – only to find assurances he was given that he would not be stepping on his moral or religious principles were trampled on within a few weeks.

 

            You’ll find brief details in today’s audio track and script (below) and also documented by Greenville News, AP and the New York Times – all with different slants. The main difficulty is laid out in George Orwell’s classic 1984 novel when the dominant governmental offices adopt a new language called “news-speak” – whereby “War” becomes “Peace” – and “Save” really means “Spend.”  Apparently we’re entering that “Twilight Zone” now.

 

            The only clarifying voice in all this cacophony is the calm voice coming from Scripture – to which we need each one to repair – daily.

 

            Cordially, IN HIM

“JUST A MINUTE”

DO SAYING AND DOING MATCH?

Just A Minute – “Some were very against me being involved in this," said Taylor’s First Baptist Church Pastor, Frank Page, in a February 15^th Greenville News report. Page said he felt he could play an important role in the program started under the George W. Bush Administration – adding at that time that if he was not taken seriously or … (Quote) “if I feel at some point that I'm just a token conservative, … then I will resign, because I don't have time just to be a token voice.”(Unquote)

Now comes an Associated Press story on Saturday describing the popular local pastor objecting when the President last week removed ‘conscience protections’ for medical providers and says he disagrees with Obama’s pattern of removing any pro-life protection … (Quote) “I am deeply concerned … I have stated that concern and will continue to state it.” (Unquote)

I fear the Pastor is joining a rather large group experiencing Mr. Obama’s on-going propensity to say one thing, and do another.
