WHUT'S A-HAPPENING IN VANCOUVER? - Just a Minute Radio for Wednesday 10/02/24

            Good Day Folks…

 

            Still having switchover problems … some here, some with the new ‘repository’ – and some just because the “little grey cells” are confused with what’s happening.  Along with leftover gremlins from malware or somebody trying to mess up the whole Internet universe… and I’m just getting the drippings.

 

            However, in the fullness of time things will eventually straighten out (I’m counting on it and doing my best to make it happen…) but there are elements beyond my reach right now.  I hope to have them whipped back into shape before long – I just can’t tell you how long.  My aim is to get things back running smoothly ASAP… I just can’t forecast the events and help I can call on – or how quickly these matters can be squared away.  So your patience and prayers are highly valued. (J)

 

            I’m glad to see some of our friends are functioning again.. like Ray Epling and his wife. They’ve been running into health and weather problems – as a lot of travelers have.  So we’ve been praying for them.

 

            Other folks have been having continuing health problems – so we continue to pray for them too.  And then I’m reasonably sure some of the difficulties we run into are of our own making… beyond that I think the Lord just lets us choose our own missteps.  Check it out in Psalm 106:15 where “… the Lord gave them their request but sent leanness into their souls…”

 

            There are times when the Lord lets us ‘choose our own size hammer’ when we need correction – and we often choose the larger one. (L)  How stubborn and willful we are. (at least *I* am) – I recognize it -- I expect you do too.

 

            Well… that’s about enough midnight ramblings… It’s the time I get through the research and the writing and the ‘polishing’ so the piece has at least a little style and makes sense – as well as fitting within the allotted time. I keep thinking it was Thomas Jefferson who apologized to a friend: “I’m sorry to have sent you this long note – I didn’t have time to write a short one.” Often, those are my exact thoughts.

 

            Praise the Lord for *this* day – I know cheerfulness in a choice.  So… that’s what I choose for myself today… I hope you will too.

 

            Cordially, IN HIM

 

            Jack
