To have what Solomon calls a patient spirit, is an admirable goal, and I work on it as hard as I can but I know that my hope is not in the “political cycle” but in the Lord Jesus Christ alone.

nominate, but elect her for the next five Grammy awards in a row. She 
can sing off key if she wants to. She can screw up the lyrics as much 
as she wants. She can screech and holler for all I care. But if by her 
singing all of this nonsense comes to an end, it will be well worth it, 
I assure you. 

I wish the phrase went, “It ain't over until the fat man sings.” Then I
would volunteer, for I believe I would fully qualify and even though I 
can't carry a tune, I would gladly volunteer my voice for such a 
patriotic act. 

As we were watching some political program on TV, my wife sighed very
deeply and sadly said, “These are the people who want to run our 
country?” 

I had to agree with her and the thought that came to me was, let's not
let the fat lady sing until we have somebody that can actually run our 
country. Let that “fat lady” stand in silence until someone comes along 
that can actually do something in our country and then have her sing to 
high heaven. 

I am not the first one to think in this direction. Solomon, that wise
old man in the Old Testament had some things to say along this line. 
“Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the 
patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit” (Ecclesiastes 
7:8). 

To have what Solomon calls a patient spirit, is an admirable goal, and I
work on it as hard as I can but I know that my hope is not in the 
“political cycle” but in the Lord Jesus Christ alone.
