as we know it… anyway.

Just voted… now we just wait and see how the long evening plays out.

Ethan tagging along in the voting booth... is he reaching for Obama!?!?

In light if the current financial chaos around the world, and listening to our two wonderful options for president blabber back and forth, it’s hard not to worry. I haven’t lost millions of dollars in my 401k, or thousands for that matter, but the uncertainty of the future definitely has many people at least a little bit worried.

Will I be able to provide for my family in the coming year? Will my business continue to thrive in the struggling economy? Is it time to shut off the HD package on the DirecTV account, and the unlimited text messaging on the iPhone? I don’t know the answers to these questions.

Yeah… there’s question, and there’s worry. But here’s the reality of it all… we aren’t really in control of what happens.

25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life“ ?

Matthew 6:25-27

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg yesterday unveiled a plan to make the city a showcase of “clean energy” by placing windmills and solar panels on skyscrapers, bridges and coastlines throughout the five boroughs. But after analysts realized that this massive project would still fall woefully short of meeting the city’s energy needs, the mayor expanded his proposal to cover city residents as well. “To reach our goal of sustainable energy, we need everyone’s input, literally. If you can ambulate, you can generate.” via globalwarming.org

Maybe that’s because windmills are simply ineffective? Then again, if local government agencies can shove them down the throat of people like us, I’m sure they can do whatever they want in the big city, with a little money and help from other politicians.
