"Hot Rod" Blago mentioned in my church bulletin.
Somebody in my church wrote something for this past Sunday's
bulletin. I thought it was interesting. If anything else it's a good thought on living. Enjoy! --------------- "Pride goes before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall…A man's pride will bring him low, but honor shall uphold the humble in spirit." (Proverbs 16:18 and 29:23) "I don't believe there's any cloud that hangs over me; I think there's nothing but sunshine hanging over me," (IL. Governor Rod. Blagojevich the day before his arrest) Pride and power can be two dangerous elements to a person as what we've just witnessed this past week. The Governor of the State of Illinois is now facing several corruption charges which could lead to his impeachment. I really suppose there's no need to go into any great details. After all, the politically and financially driven scandal has gotten plenty of news coverage already, and there will be plenty more headlines in the days to come. If you're not familiar with the story called "The Emperor's New Clothes," the fable tells of a pathetically self-absorbed king who demanded to have the finest robes that could be had, and would be satisfied with nothing less. So his tailors convinced him that these certain (invisible) robes were the best of the best and were fit for no one but him. Finally the king went walking down the street in his new clothing. The only problem is that he was naked and was the only one in the kingdom that didn't know it. His pride had blinded him to the point that he thought he had everything, but actually he had nothing. Pride is an exaggeration of ones self-opinion. And this isn't any thing new. Look all through the Old Testament and you can see how men have been brought down because they let their soul become infested with too much pride. Adam's pride led him and his wife into believing Satan's lie that they could be just like God. Pride drove their son Cain to murder his brother Abel, because God accepted his brother's sacrifice and didn't accept his. Year after year, and with all his strength, King Saul pursued David to have him eliminated because of women praising David in song, and not the king. In the New Testament, pride also caused Jesus' disciples to bicker among themselves about who would be greatest in the Kingdom of God. (Matt. 20:20-28) And one shouldn't forget Herod who declared himself to be a god to be worshiped (Acts 12:21-23) and how the Holy Spirit dealt with him. James 3:13-15 tells us that Pride and envy is "earthly, unspiritual, and devilish." and breeds, "wickedness of every kind." But the best is what he tells us in verse 17 and 18: "But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without a trace of partiality or hypocrisy. And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace for those who make peace." |

Harry, I'm no shrink, and I'm really not sure if Blago is mentally ill or not, but he certainly seems out of tough with the people of Illinois and has been for several years. i think the guy has felt like he's *untouchable* because he's let power go straight to his head. mental instability? could be, but I'd say unethically ignorant is more like it. |
