Good Friday morning! For you working folks that will come as good news after a full week of working for your employer. For us self-employed folks, we just keep goin'! Did I say 'self-employed? I am only employed by myself in the way that ministers and missionaries are self-employed; we are God-employed! If you feel in any way excluded by that, don't be. All of us who come to believe in Jesus are God-employed, even if working for a company here on Earth. There is but One that all must answer to in the end and He pays his workers daily. If you can't think of a blessing you received yesterday, then you're not trying! :-)
The Inauguration events begin this weekend. Many folks are looking forward to this one, but many are also concerned about our incoming President of the United States. Will there be true checks and balances when one party holds a majority in the Senate, House of Representatives, and the main office of the Executive Branch? Will more get done? I think all of us would like to see more accomplished by Congress, but we must watch that wishing. The accomplishments might not be those we would prefer.
Many more questions are waiting for our new President. How many will he answer and how quickly? We don't know these things yet, but one thing we do know, it will be interesting to watch. Another thing we know, productivity in Washington D.C. is probably out the window this coming week. Ah, well, this doesn't happen very often and even our public servants, if any remember that they are public servants, deserve an occasional party too.
We may question and criticize our government, but God's plan is moving forward in all we do. Let us pray for our new congress and president as they take office.
God bless you this weekend!
Bucky
