Hey bud, there is a place in the gospels where Jesus says "if you want to save your life, you must lose it." We have a problem in this country in what we think we have to have to live. It's not enough to have the necessities, we need a bigger house, a newer car and all the "things" we can buy on credit. We spend all we make (and probably more) and are not prepared when depression hits. Sometimes it is when we lose everything that we once thought was important, we discover those things weren't as important as we thought. Long on love and family can really go far.

BTW, I'm not trying to downplay the angst and pain of so many right now. I do think we could use this time to get our priorities straight. (Not sure we will!)
