I am so very happy to send out a greeting to one and all from my desk here at the company where I work on this very cool Monday morning, December 28, 2009. I have greatly enjoyed the nine days I have been away but it's really great to be back in my place this morning. Those nine days went by like the blur of a bullet train in many ways but they left behind memories that we will treasure for years. We tried to emphasize faith and family in our holidays and I thank God for the wonderful expressions these two areas brought to us. Now it is back to the daily routine and since I am a glutton for routine, it is great to be as Gene Autry sang: Back in the saddle again. We received cards from folks we only hear from at Christmas and its always good to get caught up on families and friends. My wife is over in Louisiana attending the memorial service for her Aunt Lucille and we were also saddened to receive news from our former neighbor Ruth who is suffering some health issues at this time. She signed her card with a statement that she didn't know what 2010 would hold for 'this 91 year old lady'. Great celebrations, wonderful times with family, and grief, sadness, and concern; these also are the fabric of life. How blessed we are to be able to take all our concerns before our Lord in prayer.I suppo
se we all are aware by now of the fellow who tried to blow up a huge passenger plane on its way from the Netherlands to Detroit. One of the grave concerns I've had with this new administration since the outset is how they have been so bent on un-Bushing every iota of every detail that they have in many areas made us weaker as a nation. This is no idle thought. Someone, preferably beginning with our President, needs to wake up and smell the coffee. The Bible says that if the homeowner had known what time of night the thief was coming he would have been prepared to protect himself and his family. We first have to recognize there are those who would give their all to bring harm to us and they are plotting our demise every single second of every minute. Now that this incident has occurred, what is our response? We have immediately implemented draconian measures targeting the flying public in an almost too little too late approach, but this is what our government always does. Let's just hope and pray that its not an attempt to close the gate after all the cows have left.

We are admonished to pray for those who are in authority over us and we should, daily. Let's also pray that God would protect us from ourselves. President Obama said in his inauguration speech that he
was ready to get busy remaking America. How about returning America back to when she was a God fearing and God honoring nation? How about recognizing and acknowledging God's providence in all our ways like most of our founders did? Sure, those are great thoughts and ideas but what can you and I as individuals do? We can do our best to honor God in the way we operate our lives. We can participate by being the kind of citizen we are called to be. We can seek God on behalf of our nation, our families, and our future. It's not always about what they can do for us but it's more about what God would have each of us to do. Some things to think about as we make our way towards 2010. Amen. .....More later.
