During this wonderful recession, I have been just thrilled (notable sarcasm) to see many of my friends lose their jobs and their livelihoods, while others have thrived. Why is this so? There are days when I just get so angry and frustrated with our lot in life. Of course, we must always take a higher road - one that will lead us closer to our Heavenly Father. But don't you ever just get so mad? That you wonder WHY in the world is all of this happening? I know I do, and then I know I have to immediately repent (egads).
My school district has frozen salaries. Great, now I can't afford to pay even MORE bills, while our illustrious President has inflated our national government even more with 32 (count 'em, 32!) 'Czars.' Good grief!!! There's more of our tax dollars going down the loo!
Does ANYONE in Washington have a clue anymore as to what they are doing to our country? I have friends who are losing their homes, self-respect and are so depressed that they wonder how in the world they will ever dig themselves out of the hole they're in.
Now, we're not looking for a hand-out (surprise, we are REAL Americans), but a hand-up. We need jobs, and not just garbage jobs where people say to you, "You should be thankful to have a job!" (Gee thanks for the support) and then they pay you much less than what you are worth. Great, while those in Washington get richer on the dole, we all suffer.
I gave a talk in church on the 12th Article of Faith here a few weeks back and what is going on in Washington right now is exactly what we been warned about.
Be warned: CHOOSE YOUR LEADERS WISELY! or we will all be living in a real life version of '1984.'
