In The Lion's Mouth


My grandmother used to say that when your head is "stuck in the lion's mouth, you've gotta ease it out slowly"... which to me meant, "Know where you are and how much you can and can't do at all times. Tread lightly when you must." So, when I heard today's news, all of this came to my mind.

President Barack Obama will appear on Fox News to rally last-minute support for the health care reform bill. I immediately thought, What? Say what? Special Report's Bret Baier will sit down with President Obama on Wednesday at 6/5C for an interview regarding the proposed legislation. The interview will be followed by an in-depth panel that will analyze President Obama's responses. The House of Representatives is expected to vote on the bill later this week.

President Obama has said that he would like a live televised Health Care Summit, which is all well and good, but on FOX? Unfair and unbalanced Fox TV? Makes me shake my head. We welcome the opportunity," Brett Baier wrote on his blog. (Yeah, everybody's got one and a Facebook page and a Twitter page!) "We're going to try to really get some specifics from President Obama on a number of different topics." That means, we are really going to try and stick it to the President, if we can.

I for one will break my self-imposed ban of all things FOX and try to catch the Presient's appearence on the Fox Network. Remember Barack, remember the words of my grandmother... "When your head is in the lion's mouth, you gotta ease it out slowly." Watch ya back and protect ya neck!

KEEPING THE FAITH: RANDOM PRAYERS "ON THE DOWNLOAD"

DEAR GOD: My heart is heavy with my own failures. I try to excuse them and explain to myself why they occurred, because I want to be free from the feeling that I am unworthy and incapable of being all that I can be. But I find it easier to accept your forgiveness than to forgive myself. When I try to forgive myself, it seems I only remember and re-play my failures in my mind, and a sense of hopelessness floods over me. Help me to know that my past actions are a part of my growing humanity and that even when I fail to live up to what is your will for me, every single moment can be lived anew. Remind me that refusing to forgive myself only keeps me from experiencing that newness. Assure me of the truth that by casting “my sins into the depth of the sea”, you have freed me to discard them myself and live the next moment as if it were my first, for indeed it is. I ask this for the sake of your love. Amen.
