63 Days BEFORE christmas

In 1925, TV’s top moneymaker, Johnny Carson, was born in Corning

Iowa. Starting on the

“Tonight Show” – “NBC’s answer to foreplay” – in

1962 at $100,000 a year, he more than doubled the audience in 10 years. His multimilliondollar contracts gave him holdings in RCA as well as a million-dollar life insurance policy.

Protective about his private life and thoughts, he’s been described JOHNNY CARSON

(httpsplitsider.awlnetwork.com) by playwright George

Axelrod as being socially nonexistent, responding only to TV cues. “If human beings had little red lights in the middle of their foreheads,” Axelrod said, “Carson would be the greatest conversationalist on earth.”

The Bible contains so many warnings not to worship other gods. Does that apply to us today?

God’s Response: “You must not make for yourself an idol of any kind, or an image of anything in the heavens or on the earth or in the sea. You must not bow down to them or worship them, for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous god who will not tolerate your affection for any other gods.” – Deuteronomy 5:8-9
