Tough economic times increase the stress on each of us. Businesses shrink. Pay decreases. Bills pile up. In our families, we tighten our belts. We eat in more. We drive less. And often we worry.
I have met and talked with more people than I can name over the past few months - people who are wearing the stress of this economic downturn.
Thomas Merton wrote an excellent prayer. It fits well for a time like this, so I share it with you with gladness.
My Lord God,
I have no idea where I am going.
I do not see the road ahead of me.
I cannot know for certain where it will end.
Nor do I really know myself,
and the fact that I think that I am following
your will
does not mean that I am actually doing so.
But I believe that the desire to please you does in
fact please you.
And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing.
I hope that I will never do anything apart from that
desire.
And I know that if I do this,
you will lead me by the right road though I may
know nothing about it.
Therefore will I trust you always
though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow
of death.
I will not fear, for you are ever with me,
and you will never leave me to face my perils
alone.
Amen.

2 Idol favorites: Andrew Garcia and Siobhan Magnus And yes I know, this is the last year of Idol. Once Simon is gone, it is ovaaahhh.
This Spring time change thing is killing me. Must be the combination of old age and change!
March Madness has begun. No UNC, UCLA, or UCONN. How weird is that? Who wins? Kentucky.
Lost my cell phone overnight, then my home phone got hit by lightning this morning. God has given me a nice gift today. Silence is golden.
Does anyone besides me not really care whether Wal-Mart charges less for black Barbies than for white ones?
Have you watched The Middle? I love that show. Best thing on TV now. Gotta love Brick.
Spring is better than winter. In fact, it is superior in every way. God bless Spring.

Description
The Allen Hunt Show is about faith and life, plain and simple. According to a Gallup Poll in May of 2005, 85% of Americans consider their faith important or fairly important to their lives. Yet there is a gap on the talk radio airwaves that examines where faith and life come together. This show fills that gap like nothing currently on the radio. This is not one more political talk show, nor is it another faith-based counseling show because ultimately, life is not about what is right or left, but about what is right and wrong. The Allen Hunt Show takes on real life issues, with real life people, to see how faith can have a real impact. Join us on Saturdays from 9-12 PM and Sundays from 6-9 PM. Blessings!

Oh Lord my God, how's it goin.
Lord, I know you aren't the kind of God who actually does things for people- at least not like you used to olden times. Lord I know I can not expect actual help from you, so I won't waste your time or mine. But Lord I am just too cowardly and weak to face life without some kind of Heavenly Friend looking out for me; therefore Lord I pray this prayer, knowing that stuff pretty much just happens, but hoping and pretending that someone is up there, someone who knows what they are doing and cares what happens to me. Thanks Lord. I feel better already. Thank you for letting me reify you. Keep it real, OG.
Thy servant, Erik.
