Isaiah 28 – 30
We’re back in Isaiah where the prophet is pronouncing all sorts of warnings about Samaria and the fate of Israel, how the Lord will ‘have to speak to his people through foreign oppressors who speak a strange language.” We see a wonderful promise, also: Therefore, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: “Look! I am placing a foundation stone in Jerusalem, a firm and tested stone. It is a precious cornerstone that is safe to build on. Whoever believes need never be shaken.” In his letter to the Ephesians 2:20, Paul makes reference to Jesus being the cornerstone of the house that is the church.
There are also grim warnings for Jerusalem, how God will bring disaster upon them with much weeping and sorrow. God would their enemy surrounding them and attacking their walls. But there is also hope where the Lord promises his people will no longer be ashamed or turn pale with fear.
But, what contempt the Lord shows for Judah’s alliance with Egypt. He makes it clear that Egypt cannot help Israel, no matter how strong they appear to the world. The Lord must wait for Israel to come to him so he can show love and compassion. The Lord is a faithful God who will be gracious if we come to him.
Tomorrow, we’ll be reading Isaiah 31 – 34.

CBS re: President Obama
It's hard to believe that CBS actually said something that wasn't flattering to this President!
Air Force One:
This is from Mark Knoller of CBS.
The pilots and crew of Air Force One are flying more hours than a rookie on a beer run.
They are tired of it too, and are adding more crew to Air Force-1, - I know this for a fact because I'm one of the instructors that trains the crews. Our company (Atlas Air) has had the Air Force-1 and E-4 contract for over three years and I've been doing it for about 18 months now.
Last year (2011) Obama flew in Air Force One 172 times, almost every other day. White House officials have been telling reporters in recent days that the Democrat doesn't intend to hang around the White House quite so much in 2012.They explain he wants to get out more around the country because, as everyone knows, that midterm election shellacking had nothing to do with his health care bill, over-spending or other policies, and everything to do with Obama's not adequately explaining himself to his countrymen and women.
And with only 288 days remaining in Obama's never ending presidential campaign, the incumbent's travel pace will not likely slacken. At an Air Force-estimated cost of $181,757 per flight HOUR (not to mention the additional travel costs of Marine One, Secret Service, logistics and local police overtime), that's a lot of frequent flier dollars going into Obama's carbon footprint.
$8 Million every time it lands & takes off.
We are privy to some of these numbers thanks to CBS' Mark Knoller, a bearded national treasure trove of presidential stats. According to Knoller's copious notes, during the last year, Obama made 65 domestic trips over 104 days, and six trips to eight countries over 22 days. Not counting six vacation trips over 32 days. He took 196 helicopter trips, signed 203 pieces of legislation and squeezed in 29 rounds of left-handed golf.
Obama last year gave 491 speeches, remarks or statements. That's more talking than goes on in some entire families, at least from fatherly mouths. In fact, even including the 24 days of 2010 that we never saw Obama in public, his speaking works out to about one official utterance every 11 waking hours. Aides indicate the "Real Good Talker" believes we need more.
Related: Obama spends nearly half his presidency outside Washington , plans to travel more.
Related: Vacationer-in-Chief Spends $1.75 Million to Visit Hawaiian Chums.
Obama has spent over $100 million taxpayer dollars flying around in Air Force One, and probably another $100 million on his entourage.
Obama is just another tin-pot dictator living lavishly at the expense of his subjects.
And we seniors have to "tighten our belts"
THANKS TO ALL WHO HELPED PUT THIS GREEDY WINDBAG IN OFFICE!
PLEASE BE MORE CAREFUL NEXT TIME!!
America's continued freedom depends upon your awareness !
Until next time…
