Mondays always start early at our house because I’m up early Monday morning… like 1 AM or 2 AM Finishing up writing the Monday program.
You’d think I’d wise up and do it earlier in the weekend… but somehow it often slips into the wee hours of Monday because we’ve had company – or I’m working on something else that just has to be put on the ‘send’ basket. Such is the life of a ‘procrastinator’. But this weekend it was because the story of a Wall St. Journal former writer – columnist rather – who was born in the
He had been up to
I did quite a bit of looking him up because I somehow had missed his turns as a columnist and then a writer for Midwestern papers as well as the Wall St. Journal. Not very observant I guess.
The first information I had about his fatal accident was from videos put on the Wall St. Journal internet appearances. They all lauded him for his writing skills and his apparently friendly demeanor.
He won a prize to write an ‘advice’ column for one of the
He co-wrote a book with Professor Randy Pausch after the Professor knew he had a fatal appointment with pancreatic cancer. Dr. Pausch died in 2008 but his book sold some 5 million copies in English as well as being translated into 40 languages or so. At 53 he is survived by his wife Jai and three children.
Death had a lot of input into my one minute JUST A MINUTE – but since there little of a definitive nature in politics – at least as far as I could tell… this was a good chance to take a break (again) from writing and reading politics and return to an important message – the inevitability we all face until the Lord returns – DEATH.
Death faces us all unless the Lord returns to earth before mortality runs out for us individually. We’re all on the same track. So… I decided to take this – another opportunity to call attention to the important question we all face: Where will you/I spend eternity?
I’ll not go over the same ground again… but I am amazed at how many people the Devil has talked into ignoring the question until it’s too late. I’ll communicate with anyone at any mutually attainable time to go over the basics. I don’t want to ‘bend your ear.’ I do want to spend whatever ability I might have to persuade you or acquaint you with what’s happening as outlined in the Bible – and listen to what you think.
Well… that’s the invitation – you’re free to take it up. We all need to have the question answered.
Cordially, IN HIM

“JUST A MINUTE”
IMPORTANT GOODBYS
Just a Minute: Usually the Monday news is slim however Friday morning at 9 AM a Wall St. Journal columnist, Jeffrey Zaslow, -- 53, father of three daughters -- died in a snowy car/truck crash in
He co-wrote with Professor Randy Pausch, “The Last Lecture” – while dying of pancreatic cancer. It remained on the New York Times best seller list for three years and sold more than five million copies in English.
Mr. Zaslow teamed up with other very inspirational people telling their stories, including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, Capt. “Sully” Sullenberger – who ditched his aircraft in
But Mr. Zaslow was not able to deliver his ‘last column’ to an appreciative university audience; nonetheless it should instruct anyone hearing this program to realize we too are on a trip to the mortuary: it is absolutely vital we live the life God has given in accord with His guidance by the Holy Spirit and the Bible and obey that message.
Today is the best day to start. <> I’m Jack Buttram. (END)
