Good Sunday morning! Ah, my harping on gas prices has struck a nerve it seems. How much faith do you put in our government, you remember those "representatives of the people", to do something about the gas prices? How much faith do you place in God to take care of us? Reading in the paper yesterday, the people interviewed are calling upon the government. As for me and my household, we will call upon the Lord. As a part of my putting faith into action, I am driving much less and will start taking my lunch to work to avoid one trip home each day. Now to find somewhere quiet to eat lunch away from the cube. The cats' sacrifice will be in not seeing me at noon; I suspect they will sleep right through their "sacrifice".
How are you changing your lifestyle to meet the new cost of fuel? Grocery prices are also up for all of us. This will hurt the restaurant industry as more of us will eat at home to save on food and on gas. I know that many kids depend upon restaurant jobs to get money for school; I know that I did back in the day. What are we to do with signs that the world is imploding around us? Trust in God, just as we do in the better times, so we also must do when things seem darker. Some good news, it seems that China is not using or demanding as much fuel as was once thought. Oil futures are nothing more than bets on which way fuel prices will go. We start using much less fuel and the retail market will not support the bets of $200 a barrel oil. I would be just as happy to see those bets not come true. Let us pray earnestly and put faith into action.
Trust in God. He is in control, no matter how bad things may seem to us.
