Raoul’s Two Cents: September 13, 2024<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

What Me Worry?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Warning: religious topic. Move on to the jokes if you\u2019re not into this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s late in the hour and I still have not gathered my thoughts together and I’m so very sleepy. So this TGIF edition is going to be short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The news and conversations are all about the recent Presidential Debate. The LEFT claim victory claiming that Trump lied, fumbled, went off topic and made outlandish statements and showed his true divisive character. The RIGHT say Trump was still victorious despite being outnumbered 3 to 1 (and a possible 4th aide assisting Kamala via earpiece) and say that she was given the questions beforehand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You must be worried about the outcome of the election but allow me to hit the PAUSE button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus was in “training mode” and he knew his disciples were anxious about many things so he told them not to worry in Luke 12:29-32.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd don\u2019t be concerned about what to eat and what to drink. Don\u2019t worry about such things. These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers all over the world, but your Father already knows your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and he will give you everything you need. So don\u2019t be afraid, little flock. For it gives your Father great happiness to give you the Kingdom.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a pretty popular verse and I think it’s still relevant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this is just me. TGIF people!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“A pessimist is one who makes difficulties of his opportunities; an optimist is one who makes opportunities of his difficulties.”<\/em> — Reginald Mansel<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Peace of mind: The contentment of the man who is too busy to worry by day, and too sleepy to worry at night.” <\/em>— Woodrow Wilson<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” <\/em>— Philippians 4:6-7<\/p>\n\n\n\n
