Yesterday came the unbelievable news that comedian Al Franken will be seated as the Minn. Senator and the 60th vote - giving the democrats a super major and the ability to pass any laws, at any time and the opposition not able to stop it. What a mess we are in in this country. Now we have no voice to scrutinize any bill being considered. Thousand page bills will be delivered in the middle of the night and votes taken at day break. Three and a half more years at a worst case scenario. Well I can cry and whine all I want - the fact is God is the King and ruler over all, so I think this little story helps me laugh!! Someone in my small group sent it to me....
A woman in a hot-air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him,"Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."
The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, "You're in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.
She rolled her eyes and said, "You must be a Republican."
"I am," replied the man. "How did you know?"
"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct. But I have no idea what to do with your information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to me."
The man smiled and responded, "You must be an Obama Democrat."
"I am," replied the balloonist. "How did you know?"
"Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are or where you are going. You've risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air.You made a promise you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. You're in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but somehow, now it's my fault."
