Lord Monckton

I was reading, or rather skimming over, an article in World Magazine today, which was an interview with Lord Christopher Monckton, former adviser to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Lord Monckton had some good things to say about climate-change policies and I must admit some of this financial talk was over my head. But it was nice to hear some common sense coming out of Europe. Lately, I've been wondering if the whole world has gone mad, including our own dear country. I've pretty much pulled back a bit from reading as much about all of the national and international goings on., as it was starting to get to me a bit. It's not that I'm "putting my head in the sand"; I just think I was going a little overboard thinking about it too much. Things are still pretty bad, but I'm trying not to worry as much. Where we can do something as Christians, let's do it, but there are some things we simply must leave in the hands of the Lord. Personally, I think much of what is happening is His doing anyway. He has His purposes.

Anyway, I couldn't resist posting this picture of Lord Monckton. Love those Scottish outfits. Now that's when a man is a real man, when he can wear something like this with a smile.

When we traveled in the Meritimes of Canada I loved the kilts and bagpipes and everything Scottish!!

Love the kilt! I have Scottish ancestry on my Father's side.

You mentioned climate-change policies. Oh boy! I've been working on a post for global warming that you might like to read. I thought to wait in posting it but I think now I can see that perhaps it's God's timing through this confirmation.

you shared,
Where we can do something as Christians, let's do it, but there are some things we simply must leave in the hands of the Lord.Exactly! The panic of the worldly mind set to 'act NOW' is going to be fruitless against the will of God.
