Well I awoke this morning to the news that our leaders had come to a compromise and the government will not "shut down" after all, though some think they have been shut down for years. So you can go to the National Park in your area today and things will be normal. Our military personnel will get paid and hundreds of other government workers will not have an unplanned vacation. And yes I am glad they reached an agreement. But here is the deal government is not the solution to all of our problems!
One has to wonder whatever happened to each family taking care of their own, Oh I guess the answer to that one is there are not too many families that stay together long enough to know who their own are. And whatever happened to neighbors being there for each other when tragedy struck, Oh I guess one has to know the names of their neighbors for that to be possible. When did we start looking to the government to solve all our problems, to feed all the poor, to take care of all the elderly, when did the church and the family stop being the church and the family?
Well here at ClearBranch we are determined that once again we will be that presence of Christ in our neighborhoods and communities; that we will take care of our own and offer help to whoever desires a hand up. I am glad the government did not shut down but I will be more delighted when we need them less to do what we the people should have been doing all along.
Trying to offend the liberals I see ;-)
