I don’t know if you have looked at any of the pictures of the devastation left by Hurricane Harvey. Even if you are not into that kind of thing it might be good to spend some time so that you know whom you are praying for and to thank God for the blessings you are experiencing.
As I looked at the lead article in the Washington Times I noticed that President Trump was shaking hands with Governor Abbott of Texas on his visit to Houston. My first thought was that it is a good thing Joe Biden did not make it to the presidency or we might have had another one of those foot-in-mouth moments where he asked the governor why he did not show respect by standing up.
My second thought was that we at last see President Trump appearing to bow to a head of state. In fact, the picture makes it look like he is about ready to kneel. He even took off his hat. That is as it should be. Real American leaders do not bow to foreign kings but in our federal system I could accept the President of the United States showing humility in the presence of the Head of State of Texas.
It must be driving the media crazy that, except for a few debatable decisions by the Mayor of Houston (Democrat), things seem to be going well. The red-necks got out their boats and monster trucks and rode to the rescue. The greedy businesses of Texas ponied up space and supplies to help the needy. Churches are organizing relief and clean-up crews. In the article it says that victims were cheering the President but I noticed that they did find one guy who forgot to move his truck and was mad at Trump. It said he was a construction worker who lost his job. The good news is that there will plenty of work for him in the immediate future. He probably moved here from California.

ReplyDeleteI guess it keeps us from getting too complacent. If we could only find one backbone in congress.
