Debate

Well, the debate was alright. A little boring in some parts, but I think Obama did the best job. He came out and directly told his plans, where McCain just talked about his record and his service to his country. That's great he has done all that, but Americans want to hear about the things that are the big issues. Like the economy. Where is it going? And how do we fix it?

So the Dow dropped again and things seem to be getting worse. At least that is what everybody is saying. We have become a materialistic nation instead of a realistic nation. We Singers have decided to cut back on a lot. No more eating out, no more wasting gas and a very small Christmas. I told Brayden that Santa Claus was on a budget this year. He asked "Why?"

I said "Santa was having employment problems with his elves. They went on strike. So they are not making as many toys and reindeer gas went up."

We all have been overly spending and now our country is paying for it. I haven't worried about it that much, but it's scary when you don't know certain the future. But remember we as Christians need to bring out our ability to show how much we trust in our loving God. That we need to show everybody its time we come back to Him. That he is the answer to our economic problem. We need to pray to Him and ask him to forgive us all of our greed and that He might be able to protect us from all this mess. That we may live humbly and live within our means. That we give thanks for what he has provided us all with. Our basic needs like food,shelter and clothing are things we all take for granted. Many in this world don't don't have all three, and some are lucky to have even one of those listed. These are luxuries to us and to some it's a struggle to have.

I'm listening to a song by the group Story Side B called "BE Still" We need to all remember to be still and remember we are not alone. God is with us.
