THE QUESTION: WHO MAY BE TRUSTED? - for Just A Minute Radio on Monday 120109

We’ve been having good weather here in South Carolina but one of our Missionary Doctors coming back from Michigan narrowly escaped a 40 car pile up in KY --- due to snow. She had to spend the night in Corbin, KY and travel on uneventfully next day. However her schedule for getting back to her overseas field was delayed .

 

Winter does present its problems from time to time. (L)

 

So do political primaries. At present I’ve seen it written by good folks the GOP is in a brawl. I pray it isn’t that bad. There are many contradictions – people who supported one another last time around have been making positively *unfriendly* noises and comments this time. Which only gives the ‘other side’ (I don’t care to term them THE ENEMY.) confusion in their own ranks.

 

I’m trusting by the time we finish the Florida primary all this ‘who shot john’ yelling in the dark will be past. Some of the poor ethics being shown by a few people in the ranks of this contest is really troubling. Unfortunately we have a smattering of people in our ranks unable to grasp what good government is for. It’s not for their own advancement! Although they may insist it is.

 

During this contest thus far I heard a very good quote from someone on my side of the aisle who said: “You know – we say we come to Washington to help others; but too often it turns out we stay here to help ourselves.”

 

To that I said “AMEN.”  We need public *servants* who are not putting themselves first. You’ll have no trouble finding that in the Bible if you care to do the research. For now I’ll put my ‘sermon’ aside and proceed on to the task at hand – selecting President Obama’s *replacement*.

 

So… I’ve restated my aim for this contest – and uttered prayers for its success… and we’ll leave it at that for today.  God bless you as you do whatever God leads for you!

 

Cordially, IN HIM

“JUST A MINUTE”

THE QUESTION: WHO MAY BE TRUSTED?

          Just a Minute: As the first genuine GOP primary votes are cast this week – we look at the situation in New Hampshire – and since we are among the first voters in the GOP primary – we have to ask ourselves the question whose information is trustworthy? We’ll make our decision on the information we get, and the information we credit or believe. Unfortunately it’s quite a bit like going to an auction. We bid on what we observe, and what we believe. Then we must live with the consequences.  Right now our Nation lives with the consequences of the last election.

What shall we do about the next one?

          My best suggestion for the South Carolina registered voters who will be casting ballots in the same contest on the 21^st of this month is to listen, read, and especially for our Christian friends we should commit our choice to the Lord, and listen to His voice as we pray for guidance.

          In my judgment that is the most responsive – and responsible thing we can do in this current situation. <> I’m Jack Buttram.
