We can't help but rejoice with a people who has seen a virtual dictator in Egypt fall from power. Mubarak was similar to Castro in that he did not want to lose his long-held control.
The question is....".what do we do now?", or better said, "what will they do now?" "They" is the powerful army of Egypt we helped them build. The head of their army is now the head of state. Into that mix goes the fact that 90% are Muslim. How many extremists only time will tell. Be assured they will make a move to capture this new-found freedom.
Egypt is estimated at 10% Christian. That would include all brands and sizes. Surely among that number are sincere Christ-loving Believers. We should have concern for them that a limited freedom they have might be allowed to grow.
It is rather sad to me, but not surprising, that our major voice of concern is about the Suez and whether or not our usual allotments of oil will flow through. We are still wrapped around the fingers of Middle East oil. Surely there is a better way.
These are Saturday morning musings. Since I have absolutely no power or voice in the matter I will go about estimating the damages from freeze and frost.
