Bailout

It seems that, in the midst of a convergence of politics and economic difficulties, fear has taken hold.  Nothing like "end of the world" type thinking (I'm sure there's some of that out there), but this subtle "what's next" sort of thing. 

The trouble is, it's easy to think that "my guy" will save us from all of this mess and "you're guy" (if he wins), will just lead us further into trouble.

It's been helpful (for me, anyway) to think of this:  "Some trust in horses, some trust in chariots, but we will trust in the name of the LORD our God."

We hope that there's a messiah out there that will come to fix all of our problems, but we fail in placing that hope in human hands.
