AMERICA'S GAMES

   An ice storm in Atlanta many years ago knocked out electrical power for most of the metro area while radio and television stations had power because of electrical generators.
   During a radio talk show, however, a woman called in to complain about not having:  her cable TV.
   On this day, September 9, Major League Baseball and college football are continuing as normal with the pennant races and "the run for the wild card" prevalent in minds of millions of Americans---even with  all of the red flags that blowing in the wind because of hurricane Irma.
   "Maybe the hurricane won't be that bad," they say.
   "We have survived hurricanes before," they say.
   But this nation has never seen four hurricanes coming to America in the same hurricane season; yet this news does not appear to bother many people as they are saying, "Let the games go on."
   Nevertheless, the games go on and people still have their cable TV.
   On Monday night, September 11, Monday Night Football comes to town and millions of heads will turn to television to watch America's idols play a football game.
   Or will they?
   What do you suppose will happen if the electrical power grid goes down and the fans will not have their cable TV?
   The solar eclipse on August 21 was a sign from God out of heaven, telling us of events that are coming upon the earth.  Many Americans recognized the sign and have made preparations for the storms that are coming to America---while millions of Americans have done nothing,  still dreaming and hoping that the storms will not be that bad, or that we can take it again, as we have taken other storms before, and we can still have America's games without interruption.
   Or maybe they are trusting in their gods to hear their prayers.
 
   "But our God is in the heavens; he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.  Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.  They have mouths to speak, but they speak not:  eyes they have, but they see not.  They have ears, but they hear not:  noses they have, but they smell not.  They have hands, but they handle not:  feet they have, but they walk not:  neither do they speak through their throat.  They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.  O, Israel, trust thou in the LORD:  he is their help and their shield."  (Psalm 115: 3-9)
