Ain't Complicated

Maybe in the “grand scheme” of global politics and issues, something like this just doesn’t matter:

The tiny Christian community in the Gaza Strip has come under threat as worldwide violence over anti-Muslim cartoons continued.

Palestinians have threatened to blow up a Christian center in Gaza City. The Palestinian Bible Society was accused of missionary activities and given until Feb. 28 to leave the Gaza Strip.

“We are under serious threat,” a Gaza Christian who did not want to be identified said. “There is nobody here willing to help us.”

But God — not to be confused with Allah — cares.

And watches and hears.

And acts.

By the way, what does He hear from you about this matter?

Over the last week, it has been interesting to me to note the split among conservative talk radio hosts.

Now this morning I see WND pointing it out:

The heated issue of turning operating control of six major U.S. ports over to a state-sponsored company based in the United Arab Emirates is splitting some of the biggest names in American broadcasting, including Rush Limbaugh and Bill O’Reilly who favor the transfer, and Sean Hannity and Michael Savage who oppose it.

Snow. They left out Tony Snow. He supports the deal.

Larson? I don’t know where Lars stands. Ditto for John Gibson and Larry Elder.

Anyway, I guess it’s going to be up to you to make up your own mind.

Me? I still think it’s extremely questionable at best. So I suppose that puts me on Sean and Mike’s side. Oh boy.

Oooops! Wrong headline! 😉

Try this instead: West may have to live with low-level Iranian atom work

The crisis over Iran’s atomic agenda is deepening, but the world’s nuclear watchdog chief has warned there may be no choice but to accept limited uranium enrichment by Tehran, diplomats say.

Hmm. I wonder what the generals say.

Particularly the Israeli generals.

I wonder what Churchill would say.

Two U.S. Democratic senators said on Friday…

…they would introduce legislation aimed at blocking Dubai Ports World from buying a company that operates several U.S. shipping ports because of security concerns.

I agree that there’s too much foreign outsourcing goin’ on out there.

Of course, I don’t know much of anything about this port controversy nor about the plan these Senators have.

There’s been a lot of slop slung (and mud and muck) over the VP’s accidental shooting of a fellow hunter.

This will only worsen matters:

The Texas lawyer accidentally shot by Vice President Dick Cheney during a weekend quail hunt suffered a minor heart attack on Tuesday when some of the birdshot migrated close to his heart, a hospital spokesman said.

Is anybody talking seriously about persecuting prosecuting Mr. Cheney, especially if his “victim’s” condition worsens seriously?

Give ’em time, I suspect.

(Maybe a result of all this will be VP Rice. Hmph.)

For several weeks now, I’ve believed this to be inevitable:

Strategists at the Pentagon are drawing up plans for devastating bombing raids backed by submarine-launched ballistic missile attacks against Iran’s nuclear sites as a “last resort” to block Teheran’s efforts to develop an atomic bomb.

What’s the proper prayer focus regarding these matters?
