Please use this to reconnect with what the real meaning of Christmas is and that is helping others, serving others, finding yourself, starting all over again. You know, you may lose everything, I may lose everything but we still have each other and we still have our families, and tomorrow we’re going to do a special show just on the real meaning of Christmas and I want to tell you some of the amazing stories that I have heard in the last couple of days from people that will, holy cow, if they can do it, you can do it. Overcoming our hardest obstacles.<<<
Nothing is as powerful as “family and friends, with God pushing in the back” to save a country or a life.
I do not know what is coming, I pray, not the difficult times we all fear.
Over 50 years ago, one of Reader’s Digests one liners that stuck in my mind and is still true today, was:
A recession is when the man next door looses his job.
A depression is when you loose your job.
A depression is when you loose your job.
Yes. My company, a health-care related firm, laid off eight people yesterday. The parent company made an unprecedented 15% increase in profits the previous quarter. No one knows what's going on. We are contracted to Medicaid... maybe the states (New Jersey is one, Arizona is another) aren't paying their bills on time.
I guess there's unemployment, but who knows how long California can hang on without a bailout? The state has spent itself into bankruptcy, and its bonds are junk status. The voters here passed a proposition for high-speed rail at a $10 billion price tag, but I don't know how the bonds will sell. So I bet it will never even get started -- how dumb to pass a bill for a high tech toy we can't afford!
I have a feeling that the tough times to come will test us all beyond anything we've ever seen. I wonder if we have the intelligence and fortitude to survive. It's not gonna be pretty.
