Here we are in the middle of the week again… Seems like Saturday was just yesterday…
But lots of political water goes a-coursing over the dam or under the bridge – whichever you prefer. My calculations say we’re 62 days away from the mid-term election day. There’s a big hoo-hah going on about not getting the absentee ballots to the overseas soldiers in time to get them back to be counted when the election is held. Big mess up… we covered part of it Monday… and seems like everyone has discovered the election is bearing down on reality FAST.
Which means – greatfully – we have what amounts to two months to go before we go into the post-election and analysis stage… that could possibly be even more tedious than it was back when the tangle between hanging shags or tags or whatever so jammed up the Florida election we were stuck in limbo for several weeks – and there are Democratic strategists who are weeping about it yet. C’mon – get over it… move on.
Last evening the President entered his newly remodeled Oval Office – of which he is proud I’m sure – to deliver a ‘fireside chat’ about the conclusion of the war in
It’s easy to lose sight of what has triggered all this – and frankly, I hate to put the families through the pain of it again… but we all need reminding of September 11th when the twin towers came down at the hands of terrorists….and they did their best to destroy the Pentagon – and would have done the same to the White House had there not been courageous Americans aboard an airliner over Pennsylvania. The memory hits me as hard as
I have no more space to write – and I suspect you run out to time to read. I’m just glad those who trust in Christ can peacefully endure without hate or retribution eating them up – and say “Even so come quickly, Lord Jesus.”
Have a wonderful day – IN HIM!
Cordially, IN HIM

“JUST A MINUTE”
MR. BECK GOES TO
MizP: Just A Minute:– Mr. Jack – You ain’t said nothin’ ‘bout Mr. Beck’s gathrin’ on th’ monument grouns.
Jack: Miz Pearl, I couldn’t be there, so I wanted to have some really accurate reports before talking.
Homer: Who didja git ta tell ‘bout it then?
Jack: Homer, you always know in a situation like this you call on the opposition because they won’t lie.
BB: Well, Ah’ve known a lot of ‘ponents ta lie ‘bout you.
Jack: I meant, Billy-Bob they wouldn’t heap up the good things to say.
MizP: I reckon you’s rite about tha-ut.
Jack: So I credit Ruth Marcus writing for the Washington Post.
MizP: I ‘spect she wudn’t say nothin’ nice ‘bout you or th’ people comin’ ta DC ta see Mr. Beck.
Jack: And you’d be right Miz Pearl.
Homer: Whut did she write Mr. Jack?
Jack: The hedline on her story said: “BECK’S RALLY WAS A CHURCH PICNIC WITH A BUZZ.”
MizP: Tha-ut souns like she liked hit.
Jack: She said it was too calm – said no reporter wants to write about a church picnic!
BB: I reckon that’d be rite.
Jack: Here’s the first line: “I left the Glenn Beck rally worried that I didn't have much of a
story. It was all a revival meeting, no political fireworks.”
BB: Tha-ut was whut th’ Warshinton Post story said?
Jack: Exactly right Mr. Billy –
Homer: An how did th’ rest of hit go.
Jack: The Wall Street Journal writer wrote: “You couldn’t have found a more polite
crowd at an opera.” And one more amazing thing I saw on a video – a flock of geese flew over the reflecting pool
between the Washington and Lincoln monuments – a perfect “V” formation – the people clapped.
BB: Don’t reckon they coudda arranged tha-ut …
MizP: Ah know somebody who coudda ‘ranged hit. HE ‘ranges everthang.
Jack: I think you’re right about that Miz Pearl.
Homer: Ah heared a interview b’tween Mr. Beck an Mr. Chris Wallace… at sounded reel good.
Jack: I heard the same thing Homer… must have been a success.
MizP: Well Ah’m glad.
Jack: A good testimony Miz P… but our time’s gone. See you next week .
I’m Jack Buttram. (END)
