Above....this was the shocking cover of Newsweek Magazine last week! I guess this has been the goal all along.....Well, the spending bill was signed into law today and we are going to find out it this action is going to help. I really don't see how we can spend ourselves into prosperity because it has never worked at the household level. How exactly does it work? I wish someone could explain it to me. Hopefully, it will send a lifeline to those who need to hang on until they can figure out how to keep going on their own.....but I fear these folks, like GM, will be putting their hands out again in a few months. I suppose by some miracle the economy will pick up, but even the most optimistic of experts are not looking for that to happen.
Sooooo we just print money? This just brings us to the brink of horrific inflation...or stagflation. I feel like we are going 100 miles an hour without our headlights on and up ahead is a huge cliff. Now how steep that cliff is I am not sure, but regardless it is going to be painful....if not fatal.
Thankfully and prayerfully, our eyes are placed securely on the Lord and we are looking at Him, not as a way out, but as a way to give us strength to go through whatever it is that is coming. Growing up in a culture of spoiled, soft, and wimpy people. (Some think it is a recession if they can't get their nails done.) We are going to have to toughen up and whatever we are going to face we will trust our Lord Jesus to make it profitable to us....to make us better....translation, more like Him and hence closer to Him.

Thank goodness that He is in control. Somebody sure needs to be and He has our best interest at the front of his mind.
tis God alone that places men in positions of power. some as vessels of blessing and some as vessels of dishonor but we are still charged with submission to the authority set by God.
but there is a conflict coming...
