Bloody Monday

Well this Tuesday morning it is hard for some folks to get up and go about their day. I am not talking about the snow and slush that has appeared in this area and tends to makes us all lazy, but the fact that yesterday was labeled “Bloody Monday”. Several large companies announced lay offs which totaled in the thousands 50.000 to be exact. Local Governments are worrying of depleting unemployment funds due to unemployment rates rising. Like social security even though you contribute, it doesn’t mean there will be enough funds for you when you need it. I knew that the economy would get worst before it got better and I understand that it is a part of the repair process, but I can not help but think about all of the families that were affected by yesterday’s announcements. That is 50,000 families who have lost income and may not have any other means of support. We will have to be our brothers, neighbors, sister, mothers’ cousins’ keepers. We will have to not be so judgmental when someone asks for help, because we never know when our turn to suffer the financial crunch will come around. So let us rally together and look out for one another. My prayers go out to the families who are going through these changes at this time.
