Some of them had huge contracts with plants that are now closed and they are in trouble. Most of them were trying to figure out their options - what THEY could do. They weren't waiting for anyone to come and rescue them. Too bad more people don't think like this.Denise Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09706395088854291544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4183381623141443317.post-79503833219670450772009-02-23T09:55:00.000-05:002009-02-23T09:55:00.000-05:00You were in Asheville & didn't call???

My brother told me of a preacher he knows...Exactly. My brother told me of a preacher he knows who was advocating the power of prayer to help people through the financial crisis but also said, "You got to put some feets to those prayers," meaning that prayer is really only for your soul and that God will not grant riches. We can wish all day long and get nowhere. We have to be willing to do some hard work to get through this.<BR/><BR/>I have a friend who is unemployed and is usually a carpenter, handyman, house builder, remodeler, etc. When he told me of his desperation I told him I needed some yard work done because I never see my house or yard in daytime hours anymore and I would pay him a fair price. He said no, that he didn't do yard work. What? Okay, pal. I guess your wife and kids can go a little while longer.<BR/><BR/>I don't get this. I guess he must have overstated his need. We can't afford to be too picky in this economy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4183381623141443317.post-35970833539032277902009-02-21T21:18:00.000-05:002009-02-21T21:18:00.000-05:00Thanks, Lisa!!!
