and may thy peace which passeth understanding
Someone (not me) will think it's cute (it is not) to write this morning about the changing, rising and falling tides of life. We like to win, but someone else wrote that the important thing is not to win but to succeed. In Thanksgiving Weekend's most watched football game here in this part of the South, both teams succeeded, it was the clock that won regardless of the crowd that flooded the field following what was, as one winning player said on camera, "Unbelievable". He was right, and it's the way it goes in a game where "anything can happen", does and did. Forget now about the national playoffs that keep the fervor high, but maybe everybody will get the bowl game that's so essential to one's pride after a fall.
B1G, not going there; raise him up if he fall
What I'm still wondering is whether someone did a spoof on us with that map of Panama City 1936; and, if so, why.
December 1 this year is also Advent One, some folks will be saying it's prophet Sunday, it is not prophet Sunday, it's Beware Sunday, beware, take heed, it's Mind the Gap Sunday and Take care lest you fall through the crack Sunday. For those who proclaim the Mystery of Faith, it's Christ will come again Sunday. For everyone else it's Time to put up the Christmas tree Sunday, He's making his list and checking it twice Sunday.
When I was a boy and believer it was Time to start behaving lest he find out I'm naughty not nice Sunday. And in my mind and certainty of being the only person who truly knew myself, I was one who was absolutely at risk of getting a stocking full of rocks and coal and switches.
Advent One: the end is at hand: watch, prepare, be ready lest you be caught off guard. In this, our latter day and age of sending telescopes off beyond our solar system to peer into the uttermost parts of the universe, if faith is confidence in things hoped for, the assurance of things not seen, where in your scheme and priority of life and credence, belief, assurance, faith, confidence are the last sentence of the Son paragraph and the last sentence of the Holy Ghost paragraph of the Nicene Creed?
