Denying the obvious--isn't it fun

Yesterday I read a column from a liberal leaning writer that spoke of our nations budget deficit in not too glowing of terms.

Some of his points simply cannot be denied. We are running over 400 billion dollars in deficit spending this year alone. And with the governement spin masters now coming forward and bragging up the point that it will only be 320 billion dollars next year [because of all the skillful handling of our government by the President]---it makes me wonder what we are all going to do?

And now with oil prices busting throungh ceilings never before considered, where does this leave the average family in America?

All I need now is for the government to tell me how great the job market is since they have allowed 10 million illegal immigrants into the country to lower working conditions and base wages, along with the fact that just a few dozen cases of mad cow disease is nothing to worry about in our food chain.

Thank goodness that all of the above statements only affect me if I'm "of this world" rather than simply "in this world" Throughout history there has always been bad news to dwell on and pull people away from there reason for living. There is always someone who wants you to look at the half empty glass rather that it being half full. Good news doesn't sell newspapers or media advertising.

If we trust our creator and his son, we all know that the world is going to continue on its merry way until our Savior returns. It isn't going to end tommorow--- because he hasn't finished up with what he promised. And that is a piece of "good news".

And as far as all the bad news is concerned--really it is fantastic news that has been cloaked in gloom and doom. The problems that we read about are simply new opportunities and challenges waiting for solutions. After all---without a few challenges it could be very boring waiting for the Savior to return. And the added bonus is--we get to practice being good neighbors while we solve these puzzels of human ooportunity. Just think--"GOD" who provides us with all we need has even figured out how to keep us busy while he is preparing a place for us in heaven.

Speaking of problems--I wonder where Yodi hid my socks that i was going to wear.
