CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY DECEMBER 31, 2020
THIS HAS BEEN QUITE A YEAR, HASN’T IT? COVID-19 HAS COLORED AND STAINED EVERYTHING – FROM GATHERED WORSHIP IN OUR CHURCHES, TO BEHAVIOR IN JUST ABOUT EVERY CATEGORY, TO A RISE IN UNEMPLOYMENT.
BUT THERE IS HOPE 2021 WILL BE BETTER. VACCINES ARE ROLLING OUT ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND WORLD. THE ECONOMY REMAINS STRONG. IF REPUBLICANS KEEP THE SENATE IT IS UNLIKELY MOST OF JOE BIDEN’S RADICAL POLICIES WILL BE ENACTED. THAT’S A BIG “IF,” AND AS ALWAYS IN IT DEPENDS ON TURNOUT IN GEORGIA JANUARY 5TH.
WHEN I HAVE SPOKEN BEFORE VARIOUS GROUPS I SOMETIMES FINISH UP WITH A VERSE FROM ONE OF MY FAVORITE HYMNS: “MY HOPE IS BUILT ON NOTHING LESS THAN JESUS’ BLOOD AND RIGHTEOUSNESS. I DARE NOT TRUST THE DEAREST FRAME, BUT WHOLLY LEAN ON JESUS’ NAME. OM CHRIST THE SOLID ROCK I STAND, ALL OTHER GROUND – REPUBLICAN, DEMOCRAT, FINANCIAL – GROUND – ALL OTHER GROUND IS SINKING SAND.
IF YOU HAVE LOST A LOVED ONE OR SOMEONE CLOSE TO YOU AND THEY WERE BELIEVERS BE COMFORTED BY THAT HYMN. HE HAS GONE TO PREPARE A PLACE FOR US, SO THAT WHERE HE IS WE MAY BE ALSO. HAPPY NEW YEAR AND THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT IN 2020. YEAR-END DONATIONS ARE MOST APPRECIATED. I’M CAL THOMAS.
