Life comes with bumps and bruises. Sometimes they can be down right nasty. Responsibilities can overwhelm us. House payments, car payments, auto insurance, utility bills, medical bills, grocery bills, auto repairs, school needs. Geeze! Life is all about having enough money to keep things together and going. Everything but the air we breath has a price tag on it. No wonder our world is so fragile. No wonder so many people are struggling. No wonder families fall apart and no wonder we are a people of stress.
Like the slaves of long ago making bricks out of mud and straw while being whipped by slave drivers, our world has become driven by money and the men that rule it. Considering that my parents paid a monthly mortgage payment of $127.00 a month and today's average mortgage payment is over $2,500.00. It seems like someones blowing the balloon up to get all they can out of it.
There will never be true happiness found in a society where it's people has to spend so much money every month just to live and make ends meet. Somehow, we as Americans have either lost sight of what's truly important or been led down a path of slavery. Life should be about freedom and happiness, not slavery.

Be Separate From
It's hard to fathom that the United States is encountering such financial hardship. However, personally I feel that what is currently happening is the fruit of a nation that lives in the cycle of credit and expenditures of monies that don't exist. The reality is that the nation as a whole is in debt, we are borrowing money from other nations and at the same time spending billions upon billions overseas. Meanwhile the American people are losing homes, savings, retirement money, and expected to bail out the very corporate giants that brought this forth.
Maybe we should be bailing out the American people, those in foreclosure, those who have lost their homes, equity and savings and let wall street bail themselves out.
If one applies the Word of God to this endless cycle of debt, greed, the desire for more, more and more. One also see's the fruit that such produces.
Be wise saints of God.
