These are ‘hard-to-figure-out’ days. Sometimes very warm and beautiful – then comes whatever the opposite of ‘Indian Summer’ is on the Reservation.
But let us hope (and pray) for the best. I’ve been through a couple of ‘hard freeze Spring days’ – when all the fruit was killed despite attempts with smudge pots and sprinklers and whatever else to try and keep the buds from being killed by the cold.
We were in
And now came another cold Spring that killed off a second crop of tropicals… and from what he said on TV it was ‘freezing him into bankruptcy’. The water, from what I understood of the program, was not cold enough to make ice (i.e. must have been above 32 degrees F) but it was too cold for those tropical pets to survive – and using smudge pots, fans to stir the air or whatever saved some of the other “crops” was not effective enough to save his little fingerlings… He couldn’t move them inside… and having 15 or twenty ponds that were more like wading pools in the earth… with grass all around and different breeds in them. But there was no way to heat the water even a little bitt – or a way or a place to move the little fishes to warmer water. Nothing to do but to stand there and know the fish were doomed.
That was a sad way to start a day.
My heart goes out to the folks in
Let us continue in prayer for the families who have lost loved ones – and let us also be faithful in informing those who will listen, to coming to know the Christ is –“not willing that “any should perish – but that all should come to repentance.”
Cordially, IN HIM

“JUST A MINUTE”
FAILURE TO GET A PASSING GRADE MEANS REPEATING IT
Just a Minute: -- David Broder, is barely in the grave but already sorely missed. Last August 10th the chief political correspondent for The Washington Post – observed if the Obama administration was going to do more than “just wallow in the waves” for the next two years, he would need to ”make up to some of the bruised Democrats and mollify some Republicans…” The President, apparently, was not inclined to do either.
According to the Chief political correspondent in Post’s news team – Mr. Obama set staffers searching for innovative renovation projects, possibly with public-private partnership, asking them to invite Republicans to bring forward ideas that could reduce the ranks of seeming permanently unemployed construction workers.
But it now appears Obama didn’t believe Republican complaints the Pelosi-Reid team systematically excluded the GOP and their ideas. The President had to test the Republicans for himself. Broder observed the President “sometimes remarked he is not the classic party animal.”
Bye-by bi-partisanship.
