I haven’t written a post in some time, and when I saw this cartoon, I thought many, many people may identify with this. I am, like millions of others, on this site, leading a normal life, trying our best to live within our means. We don’t have any way to regulate the price of gas for our cars or rising grocery bills.
I live in an area of the South that has rampant unemployment. Countless people are living on a shoestring, and even more have to choose between a food bank and going hungry. Our church tries to keep our Blessing Box full; often, people drive to the boxes and leave to find a place to park for the night.
These people are mothers, fathers, grandparents, and children who don’t know what’s coming next. Not long ago, I read that the unwanted incursion into Iran could cost between $40 billion and $95 billion over two months. That is a stupifying number. My thoughts as I write this are mixed; I am reading a daily devotional that encourages me to understand that The Grace of God can sustain me in the midst of my tougher trials. We all should think about that.
Are we there yet?
