Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Prayers going up
Yes, Inouye may have been a war hero, but his political career was less than illustrious. In 1964, he and his fellow Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee sandbagged an investigation of the Bobby Baker affair, a scandal which which might have endangered President Johnson's hopes for election to a full term. Yet a few years later, he and his fellow Democrats energetically probed the Watergate affair, a scandal that involved a Republican administration.
A most Honorable man.
During a difficult recession, I organized a support group for fellow Christians to help them cope with unemployment. We provided resumé reviews, networking, and prayer support. One problem emerged: Whenever someone got a job, he or she almost never returned to the group to offer encouragement. That increased the loneliness and isolation of those left in the group.
Worse, though, were comments from those who had never experienced a job loss. They mirrored the accusations of Job’s friends in his suffering: “If you were pure and upright, surely now [God] would awake for you, and prosper [you]” (8:6). By chapter 12, Job is starting to express things in terms modern workers can understand. He says that he feels despised by those whose life is easy (v.5).
When things are going well for us, we may start to think that we who don’t have troubles are better somehow, or are more loved by God, than those who are struggling. We forget that the effects of this fallen world are indiscriminate.
We are all loved by the Lord and we all need Him—in good times and bad. The successes, abundance, and positions that God has given to us are tools to help us encourage others in their time of need.
Read: Job 12:1-10
Thanks, galz! Not often a democrat is honored but he was quite the hero, too. RIP, sir!

This will be my last post for the week.
Have a family thing that requires my attention
in North Carolina and I have to leave on Wed.
But please stay right where you are.
Chat up the military or a family member.
No need to fret...you know I'll be back!
The FR Canteen is
Come in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS
