THE NOISE YOU HEAR CELEBRATES UNCERTAINTY -- for JUST A MINUTE Radio on Tuesday 120103

Glad you found us today. It’s been a regular maze of uncertainty in network worlds in this holiday complex – sort of beginning at Thanksgiving. I think all the New Year’s noise and fireworks causes the groundhogs to quake in their dens and perhaps is reason for delaying Spring. Although we shouldn’t be complaining about that yet – not much at least lest we disturb the ancient ideas of the North Wind becoming angry with us down in the ‘warmer climes.

 

Surely by now, you are just about full to the brim of all the pre-primary ‘news’ that has come your way. We’ll try in this ‘interval to at least give you something different and possibly still informative. If you listen to the program for today you’ll get an idea of where I’m coming from.  It was possible to see this ‘bolus’ of information and activity coming way back ‘yonder’ when Mr. Obama started campaigning full throttle as he still had 2 years to go on his term in the U.S. Senate as one of the senators from Illinois. But ever since the days of Al Capone an the Chicago ‘machine’ Illinois has been a bifurcated state with the head next to Lake Michigan and the foot being down south (in the Northern sense). I don’t think Abraham Lincoln had it that tough in his early days of legislating.

 

In any case we’ll do the best we can to point in the right direction. There are many voices hollering from the grandstands telling you which way to look. We each best be looking to the Lord for our guidance and listening to the voice of the Holy Spirit as we read the scriptures and whatever devotional material we utilize day by day.  When the voices become clamorous,  Satan takes it as good ‘cover’ for him to be putting in his own two-cents worth to distract us – or lead us off of the path of God’s way.  That’s why we need the ‘washing of the water of the Word’ every day – and I thank Him for His provision of that daily manna for our blessing.

 

Better go get with the program – I say to myself. Best wishes to you too… as you search for the truth of what’s happening today in God’s world. .

 

Cordially, IN HIM

“JUST A MINUTE”

THE NOISE YOU HEAR CELEBRATES UNCERTAINTY.

          Just a Minute: Today, I doubt you will hear the sound of the starter’s pistol. Nonetheless, it’s the start of one of the most significant political races of this, or any other century. We have less than a minute to talk about it.

          This affects every family and every individual in America. The first phase tells you who they are and why they want to be elected; the second is the long slog through the primary states to win the nomination; and the third is the election itself in November.

          If you look long and hard you’ll see a lot of 1980 in 2012 – that was the year Jimmy Carter lost his Presidency to Ronald Reagan.  Carter got to the place where his own party didn’t like him. The big difference now is everyone has seen the candidates and formed some kind of opinion. A big factor in that process is the fact the second administration will be worse than the first.

          Think of it – Obama freed of the restraint of having to face the electorate again.

Wise political observers say – “Believe me – you don’t want to go there!
