The Sky is falling-Look out below....

Yes, the world has changed this past week. We averted the debt crisis to find ourselves in an even bigger, deeper hole. Even the heavens seem to be getting in the act. Some say that the sky is falling. We're all running around scared. Why? I often wonder if it's all an act. I suspect that it's so. It kind of scares me when I read about the big up and down of the market and how it will and has affected us. Look out below, I hear them say. Yet, I hang on. I can't close my eyes to the turmoil all around me. I know that even nature has gone wild. I have to hang on. Why? Because I'm needed. Isn't that what it's all about? To feel needed? To have a purpose in life?

Yes, the Lord has his plans. His ways are not mine, and I'm grateful that this is so. I know that he is in control. I can't stress out about what's happening around me. I know that he will deliver me from the evil ones. Some days I wish it could be now, but then I look at my little niece and wonder what she will become and what her world will be like.

I can't fathom bringing a child into this world. Maybe I'm being selfish, or maybe I'm not. I think about what's happening and the debt that presses ever closer. Will her world be like today's or will it revert back to the stone ages? Some are predicting that.
