I have decided I am sick to death of reacting to everything I see on my laptop. Since I got rid of my TV after Cecil died I have the radio and the Internet from which to get my news. The final straw was yesterday, the Ides of March, when I clicked on this which was on Drudge. When I saw Gingrich's tweet with the word "dictatorship" in it I went into panic mode as usual. Okay, the article is about the U.S. relinquishing remaining control over the internet. How much did I know about it in the first place? Very little. How enlightened am I now that I've read the article? Um . . . . . not very. But Newt's tweet said this: “What is the global internet community that Obama wants to turn the
internet over to? This risks foreign dictatorships defining the
internet.” So I emailed the link to my best friend Eileen, whose son Nelson has a great mind, and is my go-to guy for issues such as this. She texted Nelson and told him to go into her email and find the link. Bless her heart, she doesn't email.
Anyway, this morning Nelson emailed me and said he thought it was good as opposed to bad. I am slightly reassured. But I'm still upset with husband Cecil for dying the way he did 3 1/2 years ago. It would be so easy to call into the next room "Honey, look at the article on Drudge about the U.S. relinquishing yada yada yada." He would click on the link, read it in about seven seconds and tell me what it really says. But I am so thankful to have Nelson to ask about these worrisome things. He's so patient.
Then a little voice inside my head asked, "Who is really in charge?" It's supposed to be a no-brainer. But we mortals have short memories. So I googled "God is in control" and got about 270,000,000 results. I brought up a page that lists 37 Bible references. I'm going to go through them and you can, also. Here's the link. It's a King James website but you can use your own translation. I use ESV because it's more accurate and I like the ease of reading, even though my church is King James only.
Which brings me to my next worrisome thing, and that is: IS THIS WINTER EVER GOING TO END?
