THE BLESSED INVENTION DOWN SOUTH -- For Just a Minute Radio on Thursday 120712

We continue to be heavily weighed down by the lack of recovery news from our accident victim son, Kim, up in Charleston WV.

But we are cheered by the number of people who have supported him and Linda his wife, during this difficult time. We’ve talked a lot with the Doctors both the trauma team and the neurosurgeon folks at the Charleston Hospital Center. WE could wish for better news – actually there’s been hardly anything new – so we appreciate all your concern and be assured any new developments will be communicated to you somehow as the time goes on.

Several people who have been through similar crises say the waiting is the toughest part.

In some of the research I’ve done around the internet I’ve run into a case in which a family’s oldest daughter’s car stalled on some RR tracks and then hit by a train… the car burned and of course the daughter died at the wreck scene… A few days later another family member went to be with the Lord and those kinds of double whammies are hard to take. But the Lord has said to those who are believer: “I will never leave thee nor forsake thee” and if we are to trust the scriptures and the fellowship//testimony of believers we KNOW HE (the Lord) Cannot fail – and our hope remains locked in the solid Rock Christ Jesus. That is what we know and what we have to claim.

As I’ve mentioned this before – we’ve been through the exercise of putting Kim on the Altar before – knowing the promises of the Lord. So we won’t give up until HE says to “Come UP Hither” – we all have to ‘graduate’ someday and so we cannot lose no matter what happens. Thank you for your prayers and support.

The Blog today deals with a bit of cooling things down. We can find consolation in knowing God is still in total control and command of all these events. He is the one to whom we must look for leadership and guidance.

Cordially, IN HIM

“JUST A MINUTE”

THE BLESSED INVENTION DOWN SOUTH!

Just a Minute: Does the name John Gordon ring a bell? … How about Willis Carrier – Just a little tinkle? How about Carrier Air Conditioner? Aha! Paydirt!. Mr. Carrier in 1902 invented the first modern air-conditioning to cool a printing plant at the Buffalo Forge Company in Buffalo, NY but it was in the early 1920’s when he developed a much more efficient compressor and in 1925 the Rivoli Theater in New York began cooling down theaters enough to increase the movies into profitability in the summer.

So I thought you might like to hear about how air conditioning boosted our government because most people abandoned Washington due to heat and humidity in the summer. The House of Representatives installed AC in 1928 followed by the Senate and White House and we’ve been expanding the government ever since. (L)

By 1953 over a million window units sold and the South’s electoral votes jumped from 127 to 160 today – so Thank you Mr. Carrier and Mr. Gordon for reporting on the bigger electoral possibility down South. I thought folks here in watermelon country might appreciate the news. <> I’m Jack Buttram.
