THE SCRAPPIN' STEPS TO CENTER STAGE -- Just A Minute Radio for Wednesday 120905

Sometimes it’s hard to keep the chin up. Last evening I saw one of the ladies who was a combat helicopter pilot severely wounded on the stage in Charlotte – and her speech both politically and patriotically was exemplary and a good example. It’s the kind of ‘coming together’ that IS important in America and I’m pleased to see it. What I don’t like is jabs and unthankful things said, not by this person but occasionally said by Democrats and Republicans. After all folks we *are* all Americans and there are people among us on both sides who are bad as well as good. Nobody’s got a lock on morals or certainty.  So we’re better off to get it tattooed inside our eyelids – neither side is perfect! Both sides can use improvement, honesty and understanding. So let’s pull in our “Better than Thou” horns and be thankful we’re in America.

 

There – I started and delivered my unintended sermon in the first paragraph. Now it’s over.

 

Now a personal word: I – we – greatly appreciate those who have prayed for us and particularly for our son KIM.  He’s had some improvements and some setbacks. We really have no strong evidence of weather or not he’s going to come through this injury normally.  He’s been through quite a lot – now and previously when he was attacked by skin-cancer – melanoma. He’s been through a lot of surgery –including brain surgery – and the Lord has blessed his recovery from that. We’re just taking this one day at a time with prayer and trusting the Lord for HIS will. Thank you so much for your prayers and concerns. We are truly thankful and wish for you to know that. God bless you – every one. Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ (who) strengthens me!”

 

Cordially, IN HIM
