HUSKERS AND SIGNS OF THE TIMES

Nebraskans were rocked last weekend by a 70-10 drubbing of our high and mighty Cornhusker Big Red by a bunch of no-name rednecks in Lubbock, Texas! How could this be?

Then I happened on the online front page of the Houston Chronicle, with headlines like these:

Report says seniors left in ‘horrific conditions’

Grounded Dallas girl accused of killing mom

Man’s bound body found dumped in ditch

Fight at nightclub leads to fatal shooting

Fetus found in trash bin outside Houston bar

Couple charged with public lewdness at the Alamo

And I got to thinking: all that terrible stuff . . . hurricanes . . . earthquakes . . . a volcano . . . wars and rumors of wars . . . AND NOW THE HUSKERS GET BEAT 70-10 AND IT WASN’T EVEN BY OKLAHOMA!

It can mean only one thing: the End is near.

Dropkick me, Jesus, through the goalposts of heaven . . . and Lord, don’t let me hit the uprights, OK?

--------------------------

Prayer request: We lift up to You our friend’s friend, whose divorce is going through court today and tomorrow. Her husband of 20-some years had an affair and left her for the other woman, right as she found out she had breast cancer and started treatment. Now he is trying to get full custody of their two teenage boys, take half of an inheritance her parents left her, and half of a business she owns. And it looks like he will win. Lord, protect this righteous woman, body and soul, and glorify Yourself and Your justice and grace in the mind and heart of that judge. (Matthew 13:43)
