MINDIN' THEIR OWN BUSINESS -- Just a Minute Radio for Monday 120730

Well, I think we’re going to have some fun to see how things work out down on the farm.

 

Somebody kicked a bee-hive in deciding to be critical about Chic-Fil-A.

 

It’s spreading and while there’s a possibility of a lot of noise, I think there’s a big embarrassment potential too that might tend to quiet down some of the loooudmouths who love to jump into the fray whether they know anything about strategy of debate or not.

 

I’m not particularly good in repartee…. Especially if there’s angry emotion involved. When I’ve worked with some of the more exuberant campaigners in politics there’s always one (and sometimes it was me) who wanted to fly off the handle and end up making things a BIG mess.

 

That’s where the emption lies in these last 100 days of this campaign cycle. Mr. Romney is overseas and that’s often when something jumps the tracks because some cooler head is off on a two day vacation and before you know it something untoward has been said or done. Not that I think that trigger has already been pulled – I’m just saying it can get away from you quicker than an angry rattler.

 

So just read today’s JUST A MINUTE or close your eyes and wonder what could ‘come loose from it’s moorings’ in these last 100 days of campaigning – then pray that the mistakes are made by the “other” side and not our own team. --- No need to be too cautious either, just remember to keep your cool and for you Bible Believers… recall that the LORD is in control. You might want to read that part of Samuel where David and Jonathan have to split up.  You see there how quickly situations change. Well the same thing happens in the heat of political campaigns….and we can see how the Lord’s hand is on these things sometimes not easily perceptible until afterwards. Think it over before you do something really radical…and commit your way unto the LORD in times like these.

 

Cordially, IN HIM

“JUST A MINUTE”

MINDIN’ THEIR OWN BUSINESS

            Just a Minute: Chic-Fil-A is an 18 hundred store restaurant chain that primarily sells chicken sandwiches – and other good eats. It started as one little store owned by Mr. Truett Cathy and his family in 1946 near Atlanta, Georgia. But now, the mayors of Chicago, Boston and San Francisco want to slam their doors and shut them out. Why? Because they let their workers off on Sundays. Does that make sense to you?

          See, Mr. Cathy and family are Christians. They let their workers off on Sundays so they can be with their families and can attend church if they wish. They do other things like offer educational scholarships to students who want to further their education.

          Nobody’s complained -- but Rahm Emanuel, who was famous in the Obama White House for his plenteous cursing. He’s now mayor of that pristine city of Chicago, and says the Chic-Fil-A values don’t fit there. Similar statements are made by the mayors of Boston and San Francisco.

          You’ll hear more about it tomorrow if you join us at this same time. <> I’m Jack Buttram.
