You would think that with gas prices, the home equity and financing slump, and even the stock market turmoil. More people would play it safe with their finances and just stay home for the holidays.
It gives me the feeling that we just keep going on oblivious to what might be signs, or warnings to really tighten the belt, financially. The future seems dim from just about every direction. Dim in regards to living like we are still in a growing economy.
It goes to show you that we the people of America don't want to change our lifestyles, no matter how far in debt, or whatever gets in our way, that would dictate tightening the financial belt. Its like we are living in a bubble or a fantasy, oblivious to our changing economy.
It concerns me when we become so blind to what is happening around us that we probably will pick our next President based on who can tell the best story for the brightest future. I can't help but think of these verses in the Gospel of Matthew:
"For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. "For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son of Man be. (Matthew 24:37-39 NASB)
Reading the complete sermon Jesus gives here, will shed even more light on the way people are these days right here in our own society.
