I was very disappointed with the debate last night. I am a staunch Republican because of moral issues. I am also a Fiscal Conservative, believing in low taxes and minimal government interference and intervention. I think the Bail Out package passed by Congress smells too much like a Government Takeover and one more step in the direction of Socialism. Now, I hear my candidate state that he thinks the government should revalue the mortgages of those who can’t keep their contractual obligations, thereby making it possible for them to keep the home they couldn’t afford in the first place. Has the idea that sometimes there are consequences to choices flown out the window? My house isn’t worth what we paid for it 3 years ago, I want in on this deal.
Failure can be one of life’s most valuable lessons. We all know parents that will not allow their children to fail, thereby creating selfish, egocentric little monsters. One Christian counselor made this observation, “Always bailing out our children and not allowing them to fail, whether moral or financial, prevents God from teaching them valuable lessons and molding their character.” Our intervention actually causes them to repeat the mistakes over and over until we finally run out of resources or the knowledge to help them. This seems to be the road that our government is traveling.
I read this on a website a few days ago. I found it encouraging in these uncertain times. I hope it lifts your spirits as it did mine.

I am so thankful, now more than ever, that my hope is in the Lord, Creator of Heaven and Earth, my Savior, Jehovah Jireh, my Provider, my Soon-Coming King. If it were not for my unsaved friends and family, I could not refrain from pleading; Even so come quickly Lord Jesus.
