January 20, 2009 will be, no doubt, a day marking the beginning of some of the most significant political decisions this country has ever experienced — and, in my opinion, one of the saddest days in the history of this once great nation. I decided not even to comment on the planned events of the inaugural week — for some are so vile it’s actually shocking to read. I write this two and a half days before the actually “swearing in” of the next President of the United States of America… One nation, so divided, with liberty and…

I’ve been pretty wrapped up these past days. Our grandchildren had been with us for ten days and then this week has brought an amazing reuniting with a cousin I haven’t seen for over 40 years — I cannot even believe it though I’ve had a couple of days to consider it. For a couple of days now I haven’t been able to keep thoughts straight as I have been thinking of our long conversation – things that never get talked about, family patterns, memories, tragedies and God’s wonderful redemption – beauty from ashes. So…….. here I am browsing the…

My mom sent me this one… I am remembering that truth is stranger than fiction.

As I begin this blog entry, I’m staring out at the white heart-picket fence and the weeping willow tree branches are swaying in the rainy breeze… willow leaves cover the grass and puddles have formed in the wheel ruts of the lane… a squirrel just hopped out of the tire swing to make another nut run. My thoughts are interrupted… and I begin to ponder: day after day the squirrels run back and forth — gathering and hoarding nuts for the winter. I wonder if I ought to take lessons from them or attempt to brush off a lingering uneasiness…

As you listen, keep reminding yourself that the year was 1964. This is not just another video; and, btw, the reason I use so much video is to punctuate reality and history. Take 28 minutes and listen — you’ll be amazed at the timeliness of this message. Surely this was needed before this past Tuesday.

Go get a cuppa… this is long, but very worth the read. October 27, 1964 Rendezvous with Destiny Address on behalf of Senator Barry Goldwater A Time of Choosing Ronald Reagan Thank you very much. Thank you and good evening. The sponsor has been identified, but unlike most television programs, the performer hasn’t been provided with a script. As a matter of fact, I have been permitted to choose my own ideas regarding the choice that we face in the next few weeks. I have spent most of my life as a Democrat. I recently have seen fit to follow…

“Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are His: And He changeth the times and the seasons: He removeth kings, and setteth up kings: He giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: He revealeth the deep and secret things: He knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with Him. Daniel 2.20-22 …blessed be the Name of the LORD.

I keep wondering how all this stuff is going to pan… Earlier today I heard a woman say that it would be a total miracle if JMcCain was elected President… and I replied that it would be a *miracle* if BarackObama were to be elected. O… no, no, no… not bcz of any polls or anything like that but bcz he’s a man who’s largely come out of nowhere and has nothing clearly defined as far as policy or plausible solutions to the dilemma of the catastrophic financial and social problems facing this county (and around the world) and yet…
