BRAIN SOFTENING NARROWLY AVERTED - Just A Minute Radio for Monday 100322

Greetings after a turbulent weekend…

 

It’s MONDAY… sounds almost like Friday. Seems like we had three weeks packed into one last week.  And things don’t look too much brighter for the coming week.  I think the only bright spot is November – and that’s a *long* way off.

 

However, I remain comfortable and confident the Lord knows what HE is doing in letting this monstrosity of legislation fall in upon us with all the other troubles that are making this beautiful Southern spring into a season of wondering just what’s coming next and where we’re going to come out.  What ever it is we know the Lord is in control – and that’s the important thing to keep before us.

 

I kept being hammered by the old saw “Sausage and Law are two things you shouldn’t be around to see being made.” I surely felt that while last weekend was piling it on – and Miz Pelosi and Mr. Obama did nothing to satisfy me they have any inkling of what’s going down.

 

My rather brief experience in DC – about ten years, not counting some campaign time in ’64 with the Goldwater campaign effort – has convinced me of two apparently irrevocable laws in place in the national capitol.  1) What goes around – comes around. You can depend on it… whatever someone puts in motion against an enemy, will one day come back to haunt  you big time. [I think the obverse is true also… good deeds will be rewarded suitably… we just don’t know the time table.] and 2) Lord Acton’s axiom that absolute power corrupts absolutely is simply as true as the earth orbiting the sun or the moon on a similar journey. We’re just not always able to observe justice being properly served… nonetheless I’m convinced it is.

 

Well… enough philosophizing today… I’ve still got a long ways to go tonight as I write. God bless you all… and stick with us – you’ll see this come true.

 

Cordially, IN HIM

 

Jack

 

 

“JUST A MINUTE”

BRAIN SOFTENING NARROWLY AVERTED

             Just a Minute: -- Last evening I took a terrible chance risking a nearly permanent  jelly-brain attack while attempting to make sense of last night’s midnight TV from Washington.

             Once the attack begins, there are precious few antidotes – none demonstrably effective – to reverse the condition.  It’s described in non-medical terms as being ‘So open minded your brains fall out.’ – in most cases turns out to be irreversible. 

             Seeking respite, I checked out Will Rogers – the cowboy humorist whose origins are near the Oklabama  Cherokee nation – who said on multiple occasions: (quote) “I belong to no organized political party – I’m a Democrat.”  His good-natured humor would have been very welcome in the “People’s House” last evening – indeed for the last year.

             He once said: “This country has come to feel the same when Congress is in session as when the baby gets hold of a hammer.”  

             As the evening wore on a thunderstorm blotted out our satellite signal, so I was able to retire peacefully and live to laugh another day.  May the Lord bless America and hold us all in the hollow of HIS hand.
