Happy Thanksgiving

The food was good, and the fellowship. Speaking of the weather, it's another fantastic day in Houston (that's all we've had for about three weeks)....

I am thankful for a phrase the Houston Post--now Chronicle--media critic Ken Hoffman once described as the "best endorsement I ever heard":

GOD LISTENS.

That is, the slogan of KSBJ states that for which I am most thankful. Being unemployed, I have prayed about all sorts of things lately. And sometimes it's a YES, sometimes a NO, often I hear no answer at all. But--

GOD LISTENS.

What a thought. Does the answer even matter? Maybe it's enough just to know He really is listening. He hears the cry of every heart--even those too stable, too dull, or just too male to muster up any actual cries. (Much as I might like to.)

God Listens.

And He is faithful. A verse that got me through law school has also had renewed importance for me lately:

Faithful is He who calls you, and He will also bring it to pass.

Amen. He is faithful and He listens.

Thanks.
