"God help me!" was the final sentence for each and every installing judges at their oathes. Certainly, God decides every thing. *****The assistant Democratic leader of United States Senate Senator Harry Reid wrote Dr. and Mrs. Tony Lei on January 11, 2001 from his office in Washington, D.C.: "The holiday season is a time for remembering the good things that have happened during the year, for reflecting on the many blessings of our lives, and for renewing the bonds of love and friendship that make our lives special."
The famous political leader from Nevada continued his literary and intimate writing that, "This year has been eventful for the Reid family. Our first child, Lana, and our three grandchildren live in the Washington area. Roary and three more of our grandchildren live in Las Vegas. Leif is in Reno with two more grandchildren and have just told us another is on the way. Josh just passed the bar, is living in Reno and also has announced our new daughter-in-law is expecting. Finally, our youngest, Key, lives in the Washington DC area with our newest grandchild. So, as you can see, we have the pleasure of grandchildren in each of our frequent stops, Las Vegas, Reno and Washington."
The Bible says: "Behold the fowls of the air: for they snow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?" (Matthew 6:26) Take what the Senator says to Dr. Lei in his letter that, "On behalf of Landra and our family, I want to thank you for thinking of us during this holiday season. Each holiday greeting reminds us that we are truly fortunate to have so many friends and loved ones with whom to share this special time." And if a humble individual like Dr. Lei may be treated so friendly by our Senator Reid, obviously everyone of us in Nevada would be taken care by his extended kindness. And this be our mode: "In god is our trust!"
His love to his family and his friends revealled his dignified and humane spirit through his words in the letter. For a great and powerful person like him to have such a beautiful and kind heart is really the glory of God. "Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves," says the Bible. (Romans 12:9-10) At the end of the letter, the famous U.S. Senator says that, "The Reid family has been richly blessed and we look forward to the years ahead. I hope that the season brings happiness and good fortune to you and your loved ones. With warmest regards."
Winning the election without any opponent, Judge Jessie Walsh will have the second term of her honorable position in the Las Vegas Municipal Court. She wrote Dr. Lei on February 7, 2001: "Thank you for the lovely congratulatory letter. I am fortunate and honored to have the support of people like you." Her Campaign kick-off Celebration party with Special Guest appearance from Mayor Oscar Goodman, won thunders of applause from a great deal of very important persons who presented in the Grand Ballroom at the Suncoast Hotel and Casino. She continued in her letter that, "Becuase of the enormous support and confidence I have received from you and the citizens of Las Vegas, I will serve as Judge in Las Vegas Municipal Court, Department 6 for the next two years. I am honored to serve in this capacity and am dedicated to administer justice in a fair and expeditious fashion. It is always a pleasure to hear from you. Good luck to you in all your endeavors." God certainly is in control! To God be the glory!
