A Day at the Hospital...

OK, it really wasn't a day, but let's say morning...

My sister had to go to the emergency room this morning (all is fine now), but this is about my waiting room experience anyway.

I had a choice between watching the TV or watching the fish tank, and I found the fish tank much more interesting.  It was a large one with about a dozen fish in it...even a star fish.

There was one big fish, and several smaller fish.  After watching the big fish for a while, I nicknamed him "satan".  He would chase the little fish around, trying to eat them...the thing was, he wasn't big enough, and the "little" fish were actually too big for him to eat.  They apparently didn't know that though, and would flee as he chased each one around the tank trying to "eat" them.

Then I noticed one fish all by himself, hiding next to the rock.  Ol' "satan" never bothered him...his closeness to the rock prevented "satan" from getting close to him.  So while all the other fish spent their time swimming around in a panic trying to escape ol' "satan", here was this one fish, quite peaceful and content, next to the rock.

And then he did something that greatly disappointed me...when other fish sought the shelter of the rock, he would chase them away.  He didn't want other fish to enjoy what he had found.  I was greatly saddened by this.

So I started watching the TV...

It was a news round table talking about religion on politics.    There were several "religious" representatives, and Anne Ghrame-Lotz (Billy Graham's daughter).  I forget the actual question, but they asked her something about politics and religion, and while all the other "religious" leaders were giving politically correct answers, she stated, "...I don't know enough to speak on political matters, but I want a President that fears God."

They avoided her for a while, then she interrupted them and said..."...when do we get to talk about Easter, that's what this day is about...".  There of course, was no response.

At the close of the show, they played an old black and white clip of her father, Billy Graham...you could see a gleam in her eye and a fire light within her, as (much to the chagrin of the host), she shared the salvation story of Jesus Christ...which all the other "religious leaders" had failed to do.

Although she will never see or hear about this blog...I commend you, Anne Graham-Lotz...well spoken in the footsteps of your father, and of our Saviour Jesus Christ.

Blessings to all on this Resurrection Sunday...
