His will, here with us

so here is my opinion. i rarely talk politics, in fact i usually respond the subject with an eye roll a sigh and a swift exit. but here i will tell you what i think.
i think that our country is FINALLY coming back. it is an uncomfortable way, but it's working. peoples values are changing, it isn't all materialism anymore. people are once again realizing the importance of family and friends and time at home. that it's not about how big our tv is but who's around it. there is an allstate commercial on lately that talks about this. that it's not our car that says how far we've come, but what gets us to where we are going....and strictly by miles, not status. people are staying home, saving money, and experiencing the this incredible thing called family that has been neglected and abused for so long.
this is not a recession in my opinion. it is people's values changing. yes people are getting layed off, but when has that not happened? you know what it is? it is fear. people start whispering the evil "r" word and all the sudden we are in the dreaded state of recession. we are in the state we are in because we the people are taking our cue from that stupid tv and the media. we need to stop following the fad of having everything and appreciating what we have. and it's starting.
i understand this is a hard time for people, i know all to well the struggle of unemployment, it has hit close to home. but it's not strictly a result of "the recession". i just heard of a small town in N. dakota that can't keep positions filled all across town. yes they aren't $60K a year jobs, but they are there. could it be that we may have to step out and be creative and determined and take the anitiative? could it be that the value of work ethic is returning?
unfortunately our country is so far in the whole we are practically owned by other countries. that really saddens me. i'd like to see our country get out of debt. can you imagine? talk about true freedom.
i am extremely proud of Sarah Palin. her stand has been so controversal, yes. but her morals have never changed and her recent step of resignation only speaks to our entire country. she is saying she won't pull a paycheck and fly around "wasting" the state's finances. can you imagine? that kind of leadership, the kind that is not selfish, that has higher standards, that stands up for what's right and speaks up when it is needed. that can laugh at itself and set an example of what we all can be if we desire to make a difference.
anyways!! i think i'm done with my opinionating...
to the troops i say thank youto our government officials, i'm praying for you and my God's wisdom and grace find you.to you my beloved friends and family, i pray that this day finds you full of peace and joy, blessed and full of the glory of God.
"may thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, amen."
