Good Tuesday morning to you! We are gathered here once more in cyberspace to celebrate the love of Jesus. A funny story? At times like these it seems difficult, if not impossible, to come up with a funny story. However, in the power of Christ, all things are possible! Did you know I once entertained the thought of having mice for pets. Building the tunnels and common areas for the little buggers and watching them run around would be quite the entertainment. But... I have two cats. These two types of pets are not necessarily a good match in the same household. Sooner or later, a cat would get in or a mouse would get out, and carnage would ensue. Even if I somehow managed to maintain the physical barriers of the little mouse world, imagine the poor little thing's psychological problems from having big, furry, cat paws swinging at them and slamming the walls of their tunnels every time they so much as moved. Some things that we might want in this world are not always good for the other person or creature. We all know that what a stalker wants is probably not for the better of his or her target. Wants, needs, and desires, in all things we need the guidance of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Having a batch of the world's most traumatized mice would not be a very joyful thing in this household and would lead visitors to question my state of mind! :-)
Who is playing chicken little today? Well, none other than Bill Gates, one of the world's wealthiest human beings. Calling down from the pile of his loot, he tells us today just how things are going bad in the economy. I am not going to do that! For one thing my pile of loot would not even get me noticed. For another, I don't feel like shouting out doom and gloom, there is enough of that going around without another voice added to the clamour. This is one time that ol' Bill should just shut up. How about that stock market? It seems there is hope left after all. Even the frightened masses of investors can be rallied to buy a few stocks. I cannot claim credit for turning the fear around with my little blog and e-mail, but every voice speaking words of encouragement to replace the fear of the last few weeks will certainly help. Look for the good news in the news today.
Praise the name of Jesus!
