MONDAY MORNING MOMENTS Aug. 17, 1998 Vol. III Number 34
George Will writes in Men at work:
“baseball umpires are carved from granite and stuffed with
microchips…. They are professional dispensers of pure justice. Once
when Babe Pinelli called Babe Ruth out on strikes, Ruth made a populist
argument. Ruth reasoned fallaciously (as populist do) from raw numbers
to moral weight: “there’s 40,000 people here who know that last one was
a ball, tomato head!”
Pinelli replied with the measured stateliness of John Marshall:
“Maybe so, but mine is the only opinion that counts.”
Christians are also pressed by the weight of numbers aligned against the moral law of God. But the Christian knows that in the end, only one opinion counts: that of the beneficent Umpire of all human affairs.
“Look at the Nations and watch - and be UTTERLY AMAZED. for I am going to do something in YOUR days that you would not believe even if you were told” Habakkuk 1:5
