I feel for those in Texas affected by Hurricane Ike. Many of them lost their homes, everything of value. For many, it will take years to get back to some semblance of "normal."
Then, there are the folks around here affected by Ike. Thank God, no one has lost their homes here, but we are affected in another way.
We are running out of gas.
The refineries are slowly coming back online, and we will have normal supply by end of this week-first of next week. The important thing is not to panic, give them time, and we will not run out of gas everywhere.
That last sentence is a basis for capitalist economics. That sentence was not uttered enough here in western NC today. Everybody has panicked, running most of the stations in Hickory and the surrounding area out of gas! Folks, you think you are doing a smart thing- YOU ARE MAKING THE SITUATION WORSE!
I am not panicked. God did not give me a spirit of fear. He gave me a spirit of power, love, and sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7)! I may not find gas for a few days. God will take care of me. And the waythe political system is headed, soon the government will, although I don't want them to.
Lighten up people. IT WILL BE ALL RIGHT.

Insanity 101
They say insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting the same result each time. It's a good definition. I still wish I knew who "they" were...
Three days a week, I attend college. I get up 30 minutes earlier, rush to get my wife, my son, and myself where we need to be by 7:50 (I would say 8, but I need to get a good space.) I get to one class, barely on time, and I don't really like it that much, but I need to take it, I need to be active in it, because capitalism needs to be defended.
Then I go to my favorite class, Business Law. I wait on an elevator that is the slowest I have ever seen. It stops on my floor, but don't get on! It still has to get on the bottom floor. But you should have got on, because it picked up people on the bottom floor, and now it's full. Take the stairs.
This class is usually short, because he is retiring next year. He teaches, you learn, you leave. Most go to study, some go to goof off. I go to work. I am thankful for my job. I really am. But I have done the same thing for eight years! Some days it's good. Some days, um, no.
The only relief I have is that I get to come home to that wife and son. We put him to bed, and I pick up a textbook. I have read more in the past month than I have read in thirteen years.
Two days later, (MWF) I do it again.
It is insane.
But down the road, it will pay off.
