The great debate last night was what to watch, an old, early Happy Days
rerun, which I consider the best ones, or Jeopardy. When I saw the great NBC
political machine in action on Alex's show, I almost changed the channel. They
were filming in Washington, DC, and had on some political types. Nicest things
I can say about them. Chris Mathews, known liberal, some woman named Lizzie-not
Borden, an ex White House Press Secretary, and Robert Gibbs, ex-front man for
Obama, his equivalent to Hitler's Goebbels. While Alex oozed, I watched the
first few minutes, and it was obvious I had incorrectly judged these three.
First Gibbs, he was smarter than I gave him credit for. But he would almost
have to be. But with such softballs lodged at them, I got almost everyone
correct, this was more a high school level show than one for the nation's
brightest. Lizzie started slow, but picked up steam, leading into final
Jeopardy. Then there is Chris Matthews, of his show Hardball. Another plant of
the Obama/Goebbels regime. And quite possibly the stupidest person to play
Jeopardy. Ever. If it wasn't for fudging on one of his answers, he would have
lost money. But to save face, they stretched the truth-even Alex's expression
was of unbelief when they allowed one of his answers. So in between watching
Fonzie get Richie a date, I watched as these three know it alls provided comic
relief-no laugh track needed. Confirming what I thought all along, backed up by
a Mark Twain notable quote, "if you have the reputation of being a fool, don't
open your mouth to prove it."
I should have stuck with Happy Days. AYYYYYY! And if it had been anyone
else, I would have been embarrassed for them, but these three lived in a fantasy
land of their slated news reporting, or made a living from distorting the
truth. Something I find offensive, but obviously not the mainstream media. But
there is something about the truth that people do find offensive also,
especially when it runs contrary to their belief system. Then the facts become
opinions, and those who don't know, but are quotable, are readily believed.
Nothing knew, just old and tired. And we all do it. So I was not surprised,
even though Alex at times was. Maybe he is more professional than I give him
credit for.
Watching an interview on Fox last week, I listened to a man tell how the
biggest problem the US faces is one of truth. Everybody lies, and without a
basis of truth, none of it is believable. Without a starting point of truth,
you fail. And until we start speaking the truth, believing the truth, and
living the truth, we are doomed. By the way, he was an investment counselor.
He really ought to know about rumor and innuendo! But the truth is, without
truth we are doomed. Without right or wrong, we are done. We need truth, and
it is found in the form of a person, Jesus Christ. He is the truth! So truth
is really flesh and blood. Much easier to relate to now that you can identify
it as a person. But maybe that is why so many reject the truth, because it is a
person, and the person is Jesus, who is God.
Romans tells us let all men be liars, and God be God... Great idea.
Someone consistent, and reliable. Not an opinion or poll based truth, but the
truth. Remember that when you don't agree with Him. He is right and you're
not. But thanks to mercy, He allows you to get right with Him, and for life to
go on. In the heat of the battles of life, isn't it better to have God on your
side, than against you? So stay in the word, so you know the truth. And walk
in the spirit, so you can hear the truth. Get to know Jesus, who is the truth,
and watch as your opinions fade away, and you start quoting the Bible instead of
what you heard on Fox, CNN, or any other resource. Go with the truth, it will
stand the test. Aren't you glad for remotes?
Sadly I found more truth in what the Fonz said than the answers they gave
on Jeopardy. And with the questions loaded so as to not embarrass the
contestants, yes politics still lives on TV, I figured they would have done
better than the sophomore from Tree Stump High School did last week. Maybe one
is getting the education the others need. So seek the truth, let it set you
free, and then follow it. Trust it. Then live it. No one who has ever
followed Christ has been led astray. So don't let opinions, political or
others, rob you of your joy. The truth is cool, just ask the Fonz.
Seek the person of truth, Jesus Christ today. Tough answers to tough
questions. No opinions, no polls, and no we'll try it and see if it works out.
I was reminded how frail lies really are after watching Jeopardy last night.
Even Alex noticed it. The question is, do you? Stay out of Jeopardy by
following Jesus. No matter the category, or how much, He is always the answer.
You can risk everything on Him. Why live life in jeopardy, when you can live in
the truth?
By the way, Gibbs won with a total of $5600!
love with compassion,
