Troubled Times

Man, we are all going through a difficult time. It doesn't matter what, who, where or when -- we are all feeling it. My concern is for the safety of every one. People will do some radical things when they are backed up against the wall. Our minds do not function normally under all the stress this economy is putting on us. I feel that soon, the more jobs that are lost, people will go to extreme measures to feed and clothe their families. Insanity will take hold and the streets will not be a very safe place. This will be the beginning. Soon after that our homes will not secure us as the needs of the less fortunate worsen. What I am saying could be a reality. It is hard to believe. If we think about it though, it is not that far off. More and more people are loosing jobs. The feeling of hopelessness is growing. Fears are getting stronger. I remember the fighting at the gas lines in the 70's when we had to ration our fuel. That was just for one item,fuel. What is going to happen when a large portion of Americans are out of work. The savings we have runs out. Our children start to get hungry. We need much more than fuel to survive. This all can very easily happen. We all need to stay aware and prepare. Just be careful. Good luck.

St. James in the Hills

Well we had a great Valentines day. We went to a dinner dance at our Church, St. James in the Hills. We took some video of the event. The band was great. We will have it posted on vimeo.com as soon as it is ready. Father Addison is doing a wonderful job at this church. He is really keeping up with the times here. He is moving the Church out of the past and into the present. It is a Church for both young and old. This dinner dance is the first of I hope many. The music was appealing to all. This is the link to the video at St. James in the Hills. http://vimeo.com/3289005
