We are half way in the week between Christmas Day and New Years Eve.
The bleatings of the majority leaders of the US House and Senate have ceased, temporarily, due either to the inanities of their pronouncements or to the time of year.
How will the Republic ever get along without reid and pelosi speaking to the nation on a daily basis?
Presidential candidates are either on holiday break or continuing to campaign. Most, I think, are on break.
The Bhutto assassination will probably bring some of them to a podium.
CNN has released an email re the killing. Don’t you just love it the way CNN attempts to influence international affairs and scoop the diplomats??
Thirteen of our family and friends have gathered repeatedly during this in-between week. There have been Church services and dinners and outings to malls and hitherings and thitherings [are those words?]. We have talked very little of terrorism and murders and the national democrat party. But we continue to watch and to think and to pray for success to the Good Guys.
For Good Guys read: the United States of America.
A good, short prayer re the War on Terror could sound something like:
Dear Lord, we pray for American and Allied victory over the barbarous enemy. We pray for a just end to terror. Protect all who work toward this end. Let our policies be Your Policies. Enlighten those of us who are ignorant. Amen.
Definition of ‘victory over a barbarous enemy’: suppression and destruction thereof.
Wouldn’t it be something to hear a prayer like that in church once in a while?? Why not say it like it is? We don’t just want peace. We want a win, a victorious peace. Why not say it out loud?
There was a time when nations at war did say it out loud.
But that’s a topic for another day.
