WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO WITH THE 'WIZARD OF OZ?" - for JUST A MINUTE Radio - Wednesday 110810

Some days – just getting’ out of bed is a chore…

 

But today’s not one of ‘em!’  We’re gonna be bright and happy no matter how high the creeks do rise. And they will rise.

 

We are just entering the zone where the pitcher throws the ball high and inside… it’s called a ‘swept back’ pitch… just to keep the batter from getting too comfortable in the batter’s box. Sometimes it has disastrous results and there’s possible injuries… or a free for all… and that’s neither pleasant nor sportsmanlike.

 

But for some sports fans… well… a little blood on the uniform… EXCEPT – that can’t be that closely controlled – and when one side starts down that road who knows how or when it can be controlled. The Chinook crash in Afghanistan, takes all the sunshine out of the day. Our condolences go out to all who are touched by this tragedy. Sherman said it correctly. War IS Hell! And Hell is a necessity. It’s in the Bible… look it up.

 

Today the battle on the home front is taking on a bloody tone also – perhaps not in a physical way… but the boredom, the sameness, the amount of money wastefully spent etc. etc. etc. when those resources could be harnessed in more productive and less destructive ways.  That’s another tragic by-product of wanting to have YOUR way. It’s not easy to take – but take this away… it’s not permanent!  (And if explanation of that is desired, drop me a line. I’ll do my best)

 

But onward. We do what we can and have to do, God willing. And we know it can be done and it can ultimately be profitable when motives are in line with the Lord’s will. Keep praying – keep looking up. God is here… and HE is not silent.

 

Cordially, IN HIM
