COMING TO A CLOSE

As I write this post I am keenly aware that 2010 is fast coming to a close. I can't help but think about all the events that have taken place worldwide as well as those that have taken place in my small community and my own household.
What am I trying to say here?
I definitely do not have the answers to the myriad of pressing questions which clog up my mind.
Many writers have said many eloquent things about the passing of time. I certainly am not going to try and trump them.
For anyone who may just fleetingly read this post, please try my other blog "InTheSONShine". Today I posted a real life check list alias Prayer to assist in our preparation for the end of this year and for the end of life.
As today's Gospel states, "we do not know the day, hour or the season.."

CAN WE TOUGH THIS OUT?

Haven't posted in awhile. A lot has happened in my house in the past few months. Some good and some not so good.
Elections are over and it appears that most Americans have told
Congress what they think of just about all that has taken place in our country. The jobless situation is deplorable [and they tell us we are not in a depression]. The prices of food, utilities and gasoline are escalating. People are going into bankruptcy and foreclosure.
Most Americans are hard working middle class, economically speaking, people who just want a decent place to live, a good education for their kids and retirement without a lot of debt.
Right now our grandchildren will inherit the largest deficit in our country's history.
Our seniors are suffering and having to make choices like "do we eat" or "do we pay for our medicines".
Charge cards have literally strapped every American with an Albatross of debt and our government has done the same thing.
