Immediately Jesus spoke to them. “Have courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” — Mathew 14:27 (HCSB)
How often does He speak this to us, in our times of uncertainty, and we don’t hear Him? How often do we miss putting our trust in him, instead of quaking in fear of uncertainty. He who calms the winds and seas is calling to us, to not be afraid, to have courage, to trust in him. May He be my strong tower today.
Most likely MSNBC will squash this YouTube video, because Newt is spot on in rebutting the argument that Obama’s experience in running a campaign is larger than Sarah Palin being a governer.
The reporter asking the question, and getting Newt’s response was golden, “um-er, back to you Keith.” Making Keith say he’ll look into it. Okay, great because Olberman is fair and balanced… and remember when the question was posed to Obama, he skipped the top of Governor Palin’s resume, and skipped down to her two terms as Mayor of Wassila, Alaska.
Dude, she’s Governor. Of Alaska. That big state up there with a whole heck-a-lotta oil, and not to mention CRAB. (Sorry, shoutout to my Biggest Deadliest Catch hommies — If Sarah get’s elected can she put Edgar Hansen in the Department of kicking uppity Senators’ asses?)
The heart of the wise teaches his mouth, and adds learning to his lips. — Proverbs 16:23
This is as important to remember when we’re speaking to strangers as well as family and friends. I sometimes let familiarity excuse me from watching what I say, either out of anger or humor. It’s better to listen and understand before speaking, and let my words be healing with wisdom, rather that scalding with sarcasm or scorn.
