JAY IS BIG ON BELLY LAUGHS -- Just a Minute Radio for Friday 120907

Great to have you along for the clean up. Folding all the chairs – cleaning up the trash – paying all the bills that have come at taxpayer expense. [How did we ever get in that fix?] They say it’s all due to the security measures we have to take to protect and take care of all the governmental people. Well, I suppose that’s good for something!.

Frankly, I’m not used to staying up late and turning out the “good stuff” after midnight. So I think I’ll be turning in early on this shift. We have a lot of things to take care of.

In case you hadn’t noticed – school terms have started for the fall season. Which means I have to take up my traffic safety duties again… which I’m glad to do. Since we have a traffic accident victim in the family…since a July 4^th accident – it seems the time is slowly dragging by. I feel so sorry for my #2 son Kim who was hit by a car on the evening of the 4^th of JULY. (I suspect most who are reading this know that already) And it looks as if we have a LONG way to go for him to get well.

I get somewhat emotional when I think my son is trapped in that body unable to talk or communicate –at least we’ve not been able to discern it… and we’re into the third month of this tube feeding and all the other ‘connections’ that have to go along with that. We are thankful for the folks who have helped care for KIM and we’re just praying for a recovery ASAP if that is in the Lord’s will. It will be miraculous when he comes out – and that is what keeps him going I suppose and I know the Lord has blessed his wife and other loved ones – for whom we are so thankful.

So our only efficient activity at this distance is praying and how we are thankful for those who have sacrificed their time and effort to bless the family with their help and presence – how wonderfully the Lord provides. We know if Kim comes through normally it will be only by the Lord’s direction and protection. There’s much to be learned in situations like this and how thankful we are for the Lord’s blessings and care.

Our thanks and love to all of you who have and are praying for Kim’s recovery and have contributed in time and effort and indeed in financial help. We cannot thank you enough for your concerns and generosity. May the Lord bless you richly.

Cordially, IN HIM

“JUST A MINUTE”

JAY IS BIG ON BELLY LAUGHS

Just a Minute: OK … The old saying in show business is: “Always leave ‘em wanting more.” Since I mentioned David Letterman in yesterday’s program … this phone call came from someone named “Leno” accusing me of being unfair – so looking at the speech last evening I gathered these beauties from ‘Jay’: --

“It is day two of the Democratic convention, and apparently they had a huge lighting problem in the convention hall today. They worked all day on it. They still couldn't get President Obama out of Bill Clinton's shadow.

“President Obama's re-election campaign said that this year they'll knock on 150 percent more doors than they did in 2008. Well, of course they will. They have to. There's so many foreclosures it's tough to tell where people live.

“They announced today that they moved President Obama's speech last night indoors, from the 74,000-seat stadium to a smaller venue due to the possibility of severe weather. See, apparently the campaign is concerned about this well-known weather phenomenon known as empty seats. “

. Th…th…That’s all folks. <> I’m Jack Buttram. (END)
