No Kiddin’… it’s FRIDAY ALREADY – YEAH!!!!!
The week was pretty good… I won a few battles… and lost one or two… but it turns out I’m the one who’s generally at fault… and I know I’m a easy mark… got weak spots all over! But, I serve a Savior who has conquered Death, and Hell and Satan… so I go forth – not in *my* strength but MY LORD’s…
Sorry… I know that sends some people off their rocker – and I’m not intending to do that. It’s just the fact that I know I’m weak … and I know HE is strong. I’m far more willing to be on the side of the strong than the weak… especially when it comes to ME!. So…
I’m glad this week is drawing to a close but it has had its good moments… like the rains – the plentiful and bountiful rains. I can recall my Grandpa Burdette and his fellow farmers who thought if the rains held off much longer there wouldn’t be a cotton crop. And when they got rain things were *much* more cheerful on Sunday mornings outside in the churchyard. But I don’t recall Granpa… JC they called him … being exuberant outwardly particularly. He was the Sunday school song leader… and I do recall a bit of his lusty singing and leading.
He and my Grandma Carrie… met at the Methodist Camp Meeting grounds near the
Guess that’s pretty much the stream of life. Things change but are often fondly remembered. Sometimes better than they were. Anyway… I’m thankful both my grandparent’s families were Christian folks in reality. I’m sure I’m in their debt for the way in which they raised their children… my grandparents…. More than I know or can thank them for.
Today’s JUST A MINUTE would be a ‘rant’ if I had more time. Because I really think Mr. Obama has already hit the campaign trail again… but I also think he’s left things in a big tangle. Looks like our children and even great-grandchildren stand in the line of fire of what’s happening now that may affect them down the line.
Nonetheless… as I could do nothing about picking my ancestry … neither can I do much about what’s happening.
How often I remember Dr. Bob Jones Sr. when I was one of the engineers on his morning radio program. He would sometimes say: “I am only one – but I am one; I can’t do everything – but I can do something.
What I can do, I ought to do – and by God’s grace I will do. – Amen”
That’s a good closing prayer… and I leave you with it for a good day!
Cordially, IN HIM

“JUST A MINUTE”
NO KIDDIN’ – HISTORY WAS MADE?
Just a Minute: -- I’m a commentator – not a reporter. But Wednesday … it happened like this.
Miss Whoopie Goldberg – a heavyweight TV host – at 11 AM Eastern on Wednesday said *repeatedly*: (quote) “ We’re making news here. For the first time a ‘sitting’ will appear on a daytime talk show!
WOW! I started to check with AP … but either they hadn’t heard or didn’t care.
Then with my won eyes I saw Whoopie Goldberg, and Barbara Walters – who’d come out of retirement – repeat the NEWS.
However, it wasn’t so new: They discovered it was the THIRD time – they “thought” it was the second, but by Miz Walters re-count it *was* the THIRD time he was on THE VIEW.
I just can’t hold back – you need to know before going through another day.
(PAUSE) There was a full hour just like that on the “View”. (PAUSE) Now WE don’t have time.
I’m sorry to tell you I didn’t make any of this up.
And I promise you… I won’t let it happen again!
