Here we are at the end of a busy week and things on the cusp of turning over again. It’s 5 months and six days until we put this baby (the election) to bed. This has been a longer wait than the very longest time I *ever* remember it taking for Christmas to get here – even when we thought a nice new bicycle might be in the attic or garage, or somewhere.
The watched pot seldom, if ever, boils they say – or at least NOT while you are standing by watching for it to. How tedious and tasteless the hours …
But (DV) we shall prevail until the end.
I’m reminded when we bought bicycles for our girls. We didn’t get the right color or seat shape or something for the youngest. She had gained a glimpse of what might be in store… but when it came it was the wrong shape and the wrong color and she just didn’t like it at all… I can still remember my disappointment not as vividly as she remembers it I’m sure. Some disappointments stick with you longer than others. I wonder if some graduate student of disappointment psychology is still looking for the term paper his dog ate when he thought he had worked on it so hard and so long and gotten it so perfect – only to figure the only possible thing that could have happened was that the dog ate it.
Life is full of little frustrations I suppose – maybe some day we’ll learn how to overcome the little frustrations… then the bigger ones know their days are numbered.
Today I promised myself and my wife I would do my best to get in bed at a proper time. So I’m going to keep the promise.
God be with you all and see you (DV) on Monday if not before!
Cordially, IN HIM,
Jack & Barbara

“JUST A MINUTE”
THINGS I’M LEARNING, FIND SURPRISE ME
Just a Minute: Someone asked me what is in the First Amendment? I stumbled in telling them, but here it is: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or of the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.”
Just think about that—what broad freedom it is and how fortunate are we who live under it. I think of hundreds perhaps thousands of dead – apparently mostly civilians in
Even our domestic news is not free of slaughter and murder. We, hope not by police authorities. Our world is hip deep in violence and controversy – we need to be on our knees daily praying for peace and stability realizing it is the Lord who is in control – and we need to be continually committing our future to HIM!
