OUR NATION IN A CRISIS / FINDING FAITH IN OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.

" Trials and Temptations Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does. "
(James 1:2-8)

Our Nation's economy is in a world of hurt right now. The Dow Jones dropped 504 pts on Monday (9/15/08) to 10,917.51, the largest single drop since Wall Street reopened after 9/11 on Sept 17, 2001. HP announces another round of layoffs. Hurricane IKE devastates the Gulf Coast of Texas people out of their homes AND A.I.G. Insurance showing signs of trouble after the Aftermath of IKE.


Where on Earth is this world coming to? Not to mention the Middle East Crisis, The war on terror in Iraq, and in Afghanistan. The Billions of dollars spent and our Nation's Debt keeps climbing. Medical benefits are disappearing, while cost of living keeps going up and up. I don't recall a time in my life where our country has so much trouble, but again my parents were born and raised during the Great Depression in the 1930's. This Country of ours has gone through Two World Wars, The conflict in Korea in the 1950's, and Vietnam during the 60's and 70's, The Riots, the assassination's of our Political Leaders in the 60's. Have you had enough!??

Hard times, good times, the ups and the downs, yes life is hard. Just remember keep your faith with God and our Lord Jesus Christ. We are in a "Storm", A big Financial Hurricane, that we must KEEP THE FAITH TO RIDE IT OUT!!
So, my brothers and sisters in Christ Keep the faith, do what's necessary for you and your families to survive this storm within social norms. Vote this November 2008. Look and read over the parties platforms, and VOTE YOUR CONSCIOUS AND PRAY TO YOUR GOD AND TO OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST! AMEN!!


Jesus Calms the Storm "Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him. Without warning, a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. The disciples went and woke him, saying, "Lord, save us! We're going to drown!"
He replied, "You of little faith, why are you so afraid?" Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm."


Matt 8:23-26


2 Timothy 2:11-13
"Here is a trustworthy saying: If we died with him, we will also live with him; if we endure, we will also reign with him. If we disown him, he will also disown us; if we are faithless, he will remain faithful, for he cannot disown himself."
