Something ominous about Obmaba in his fiery 'I don't quit' State of the Union address last night. His persona up to and included last night's performance reminded me of the hardening of the Pharaoh's heart in the Book of Exodus.
Since Obama and his Democratic controlled legistlative court won't let go of his hubristic policies, the plagues are upon us the nation (define plagues however one wishes).
Forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead...I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.__When I fall, I will not be hurled headlong, because the LORD is the One who holds my hand.
-- Philippians 3:13,14 KJV__Psalm 37:24 The Message
There is still the one Sun of Righteous and time - not two suns - for the lost, ever wandering earthlings to latch onto for the only salvation ride to eternity. A final journey not even the odyssey of astronaut Dave Bowman could or would have ever experienced.
Once upon a time, the welcoming of a new year was thus:
To Cara,
On the Dawning of a New Year's Day
When midnight came to close the year,
We sighed to think it thus should take
The hours it gave us--hours as dear
As sympathy and love could make
Their blessed moments,--every sun
Saw us, my love, more closely one.
But, Cara, when the dawn was nigh
Which came a new year's light to shed,
That smile we caught from eye to eye
Told us, those moments were not fled:
Oh, no,--we felt, some future sun
Should see us still more closely one.
Thus may we ever, side by side,
From happy years to happier glide;
And still thus may the passing sigh
We give to hours, that vanish o'er us,
Be followed by the smiling eye,
That Hope shall shed on scenes before us!
--Thomas Moore (1779-1852)
