Hard to believe but it’s end of the week time again – and none too soon!
Although I must say so far this has been a very mild winter… which isn’t great news for some of the fruit farmers… apples and peaches need a certain number of below freezing hours to ‘set’ the fruit... When the cold weather comes later and freezes the buds….or nips ‘em in the bud as we are want to say – that means no crop, or damaged fruit … and that’s that.
Meanwhile back at the orchard we’re having a dickens of a time getting our act going here of nominating someone without ‘tearing a passion to tatters’ or something akin to that. Who of the ‘offering’ Republicans would you rather have than to have another four years of the current President? That’s what they call a Chinese Finger Puzzle in the
But we have an ally – in the Lord. However, no question! We need to examine ourselves and see what kind of husbandman – or excellent wife – are we putting ourselves in the opposite side of the scale to counter balance. I’m not creating a sketch of how to get in past the “Pearly Gates” – what I am saying is in the parable of the man who got ten talents – the Lord said he got ten more. That was NOT salvation…. That was pleasing the Lord and demonstrating you would be a good servant. Is ‘good servant’ how you have been thinking of yourself these days.
When the Lord was answering the brother’s questions or ‘requests’ that they might occupy the seats at the right and left hands of the Lord – how did He answer them? Something like – He that would be first of all must first be servant of all. Prominence in the court of the King is gained or apparently attained by faithful service. Once more… we’re not examining salvation… that comes first and on entirely a different basis. This being a faithful and worthwhile servant is illustrated best in my book by looking at Joseph. How did he become number two ruler in
I’m late… I’m late for a very important date…. My pillow. The old clock on the wall says 1: 51AM… time to shut ‘her down’ – speaking of my favorite flying machine and head for the hangar. SEE Y’all next week…in Daylite Savin’ Sunshine.
Cordially, IN HIM

“JUST A MINUTE”
ROMNEY CONTINUES TO SLIP IN POLL
Just a Minute: You’ve heard me express my preference for Rasmussen daily tracking poll – margin of error three points…--- in a head to head match up, Mr. Obama leads Mr. Romney four percentage points: Drop down to the next candidate and Mr. Obama leads Mr. Santorum by eight percentage points. What does that mean? Your turn to guess. Santorum is up by 50 percent over Romney but trails the President eight points.
Is that called winning but losing? I do know the Democrats are laughing themselves silly.
Mr. Gingrich is even further back … but if he was out... don’t even go there. One projection says the President’s lead makes it look bad for ALL candidates – but when Mr. Reagan was running against Mr. Carter a Harris poll then showed Carter winning handily. But he didn’t! That poll was a whole lot closer to the election and we didn’t have all these strung out primaries.
So what now? Look – Relax! “Commit thy works unto the Lord and thy thoughts shall be established.” (Prov. 16:3)
Watch, and pray. <> I’m Jack Buttram. (END)
