Hello there over in the middle of the week….
Have enough rain to fill your bucket for a spell? Seems that way… You know the old saying that used to show the little girl carrying home a round box of salt with the top spilling out its contents in the pouring rain. As a kid, helping carry the groceries home from the neighborhood store in my little red wagon… I often wondered if the mother was mad with her for spilling out all the salt on the way home.
Guess that just goes to show we need not worry about the things that don’t concern us – and for Christians…well… worry is the last thing we *ought* to worry about. Obviously, somewhere you ran into the phrase…:”Why pray when you can worry.”
As a pilot in mostly light planes – I recall the story of a farmer’s son who learned how to fly a Piper Cub – which indeed was a cut above the Wright Brothers… but to the farmer, who didn’t trust new-fangled things anyway… he wasn’t impressed. But his son pleaded and finally prevailed to get the Dad in the back seat and took him for a short ‘hop’ around the cowpasture…saw the town church steeple and the school house… the court house… and came back to an uneventful grass strip landing where the family was gathered ‘round to celebrate Dad’s first flight.
Of course they asked him how he liked it… he said “fine.” – But the children wanting to hear more kept pestering him to describe the roads and the rivers and the little houses… and finally the old man said… well…Yes…he had enjoyed it – but he never trusted it… in fact he said: “I never really let my weight down.”
Maybe that’s our condition too – today – with coal mine disasters, volcanoes halting air traffic today in Ireland – and distresses all over the world… including a Newly Minted American Citizen trying to blow up a car bomb in Times Square – Manhattan. But it didn’t go off… Why? … we don’t know the mechanical reason yet… the young Muslim had been to
His lethal device didn’t go off…
And now we go through the tedium of the media having to plough through all aspects of his malformed crime… which lead to his unintended consequence of being caught and grilled.
Are we going to get to the end of this? How many more peace treaties must the President agree to before the scruffy faced ‘king’ of
May the Lord bless us all – we praise HIM for HIS wonderful works to the children of men.
Cordially, IN HIM
