WATCH OUT FOR ICE BERGS -- Just A Minute Radio for 100625

            Howdy… it’s that day again… Friday… and July 4^th is a-comin’.

 

            I’ve heard a lot of folks describe July 4^th as the peak of Summer… and it’s just a short downhill ride until school starts again in the Fall with all that portends. 

 

            Indeed the days do get a wee bit shorter right here at the end of the solstice… which took place on Monday at 7:28 AM (despite what you may have heard in error)… Other things you may not have heard of in the midst of all the political, oil and water crises – Back in Union Square … Manhattan in 2005 a 17½ ton – 25 foot tall ice pop (that’s what the Old Farmer’s Almanac called it) melted flooding the streets. And on July 20^th 1837 Queen Victoria ascended the British Throne.

 

We’re expecting the Full Strawberry Moon to rise about 8:46 PM here in the East Saturday early AM … and there will be a partial eclipse of the full moon somewhat before 5:06 AM or if you want to get up a little earlier around 4:30 or so you might have a better chance of seeing the effects of this partial eclipse. And that happens no matter which party is in power or has a majority in the House or Senate. (J)I’m the sun not the moon!

 

So – with all that good news piled up for you… have a great weekend… enjoy the Summer while it’s here… even though it is a mite dry. See you Monday. (DV)

 

Cordially, IN HIM

“JUST A MINUTE”

WATCH OUT FOR ICE BERGS

 

Just a Minute: -- Now allegations sullying former Vice President Gore.  Without passing judgment, it calls to mind the continuing need for a return to character and uprightness.  As a Christian, I believe we will have to have a majority turn to God, or the essence of what is proclaimed in the Bible. 

I know we aren’t recruiting for a church here … But there’s no excuse for dishonesty and bad behavior.

Both political parties need candidates of sterling character – or we are in a futile fix.

I began thinking of how King Canute must have felt placing his throne on the sandy beach, commanding the TIDE not to come in.  He was intent to communicate to his courtiers it was futile without Christian character.  And so it is.

If America is to succeed on our mission – it’s absolutely necessary to hold public servants at every level to standards that deserve trust and nothing less. Some will say that’s impossible – if so we must say to old Ben Franklin, he must have been right. We cannot hold our Republic. Is that what you want?
