HIGH WATER MARK IN WATERTOWN -- Just A Minute Radio for Wednesday Nov. 04, 2009

            Hello on this Wednesday –

 

            It’s a lovely Fall day… and I’m impressed with the fact we’ve had no pre-winter freeze thus far… but I see the flower-beds and potted plants just awaiting ‘execution’ one of these mornings soon.

 

            The OFA (Old Farmer’s Almanac – for the newbies) comes through with some nice autumn tidbits – such as: Today is the day of Sergei Rachmaninoff’s first piano recital in the U.S. at Smith College in Northampton MA, in 1909.  No, I wasn’t around then.  But my mother was determined to have me learn piano.  I’m afraid I was equally – perhaps a little more than equally disinterested in practicing.  My piano career lasted a short year and a half.  I’ve had occasion to regret it ever since.              

 

            I believe we’ve had a significant political series of events in the last 24 hours.  I won’t bore you with my political outlook – but suffice it to say I’m encouraged to see Americans energized and taking a greater interest in “taking-back” the responsibility for their country.  I’ll let it go at that for now.  I’m sure those of you who have followed JUST A MINUTE for any significant length of time pretty well know where I come out.  I do so unashamedly – but I also don’t want to be “Johnny one note”…I’m more concerned with making sure we realize that “Our times are in His hands” – and knowing “… the King’s heart is in the hands of the Lord and like the watercourse, He turneth it whithersoever He wills.”

 

            That’s a great comfort and truth to rest in when things seem to get tangled and confused in this present world.  God bless you and keep you in HIS will today.

 

            Cordially, IN HIM
