Me and the devil Blues

Man, as of late I've been fighting off depression. The weather has a lot to do with one feeling blue, especially during Winter, but also every bill that we have, jumped up in cost. Our house payment, utilities, credit cards, sanitation, cable bill and health insurance, just to name a few, all went up in payment!! Now the bad thing is, our place of employment still has a salary freeze in effect. So while we are still being paid by 2008 standards, everything else is going up. It seems like I'm being targeted even more since I was asked by our church to take classes in Deacon training. Now to me there is now higher honor than being called and serve God, if I'm chosen I will serve with gladness. But Satan has a way of hitting you, and he's hit me pretty hard. As we struggle to make ends meet, I question God and ask where He's at and why is He not helping.
I know that God is indeed there and His timing is not as ours. I do think of the blessings that God has bestowed upon us, but when things look bleak, I seem to have short term memory. The three verses that I'm standing on now are II Timothy 1:7, James 4:7 & I Peter 5:8

What happened to all that "Hope & Change" crap?!?


I was reading the Hot Air blog, when I saw something that grabbed my attention, "Obama plans to kill middle-class tax credit". Hmm..what happened to this being permanent? This "Making Work Pay" tax credit wasn't very good from the get-go anyway. But slick Barry, with his words flowing from his mouth made it all sound so wonderful to his legion of minions.
