A 700,000 Billion bailout didn’t pass in Congress and Americans are frustrated with our government using our tax dollars to bail out gigantic banks that have misused money. Our 401Ks are scary to check if we watch them too much.
Dave Ramsey, a well-trusted debt-free speaker and radio talk show host is backing a better plan. Here’s his site. And here’s an opportunity for main street Americans to take action by contacting our congressmen with this plan. It is called the Common Sense Fix.

31What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
32He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
33Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth.
34Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I used to work on an assembly line for many years. I applied all of these suggestions and they made me popular and the monotonous job was much more fun.
1. Speak to people. There is nothing as nice as a cheerful word of greeting.
2. Smile at people. It takes 72 muscles to frown, only 14 to smile.
3. Call people by name. It is music to anyone’s ears to hear the sound of his or her name.
4. Be friendly and helpful.
5. Be cordial. Speak and act as if everything you do is genuinely a pleasure. If it isn’t, learn to make it so.
6. Be genuinely interested in people. You can like almost anyone, if you try.
7. Be generous with praise, cautious with criticism.
8. Be considerate of the feelings of others. There are usually three sides to a controversy — yours, the other fellow’s, and the correct one.
9. Be alert to serve. What counts most in life is what you do for others.
10. Live with a good sense of humor, a generous dose of patience, and a dash of humility appropriate to being human.

Jesus Christ, He is my Saviour for eternity and I am a follower of Him.
Here’s a meaningful song, In Christ Alone. I heard it twice today. Once on the radio when we were headed to church, 92.9 in Tulsa and then at church it was on the big screen and we sang it as a congregation. This version is by Phillips, Craig and Dean.

– Newsboys Lyrics

Let us then be up and doing
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.

Prayerful advice for children
Through life’s troubled waters steer them,
Through life’s bitter battle cheer them.
Father, Father, be thou near them.
