Economy??

Is anyone else tired of hearing about the economy??

I am.

Especially coming from a country where people are living on less than $1 a day.

Here I drive the highways and shopping center parking lots are FULL. Restaurant parking lots are FULL. You can hardly push your buggy down the grocery aisle without bumping into someone else. The gas station pumps are lined with cars. The highways are full of cars.

Okay, so people aren't buying houses and cars like they were. And I know some people have truly been affected -- please, do not be offended by what I'm saying. I just believe that America has been living 'high on the hog' and now they are having to come back to earth, so to speak. But we still waste more money in one day that most of the world spends in a year. We are strong. There is hope. Keep your life founded on Jesus and you'll be fine!

God's economy is always STRONG!

Amen!

**Okay, I came back later and thought about deleting this. I do not want to offend anyone or make light of the situation. I know people are suffering. I know people are losing jobs and struggling to make ends meet. PLEASE, do not feel I am minimizing your situation. However, I do not like to see my country focusing on the negative. We are blessed! We are strong! Count your blessings...not your suffering.
