Recovery or Recession?

saw this in the paper the other day~ i thought it was pretty hilarious.

with all the current events going on, the jesters of media like these tend to pull a quite witty approach to the lighter side of societies failures.

the other day our new president signed a $787 BILLION stimulus bill into law.... where in the meantime, i thought we were still on recovery from the $700 Billion bailout plan... what the hey? -___-;;

“What makes this recovery plan so important, is not just that it will create or save three-and-a-half million jobs over the next two years…it’s that we’re putting Americans to work doing the work that America needs done…in critical areas that have been neglected for too long" - Pres. Obama

and if you as a taxpayer or someone who's just interested, want to know where your taxes or your parents taxes are going.... you can look here =)

accountability on government? or so they say...

now i'm not too big on politics but i stay informed with my current events, due to my daily commute on the train and the 50 cents that gives me the world, through the "NEW YORK POST" of course.

even though, the "conservative" paper or any paper for that matter is not much of a reliable or accurate source... it nonetheless keeps me occupied =)..... and informed, DUH!

with rumors that 14% of NY stores or businesses are closing down this year is a BIG, HUGE number.... people are starving.

People need recovery from this recession.... that technically has only begun and already more than 10 million jobs lost!

it's affected my friends and family and me.

broke as a joke doesn't even comply.

with this stimulus bill out to do extensive recovery for the next two years and ripple into the future years, it has shed light to the dark corners of the world and our hearts.

with different perspectives, i can't help but to look through the lens of Christ and as Christians, how could we not?

dang.

^"7For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. ⁸But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. ⁹People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. ¹⁰For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs." -1 Timothy 6:7-10

the word of God pierces man.

where does man invest their faith into?

surely, not into their bank accounts.... cause if so, ur life is dissipating like ur money.

if this recession doesn't affect you directly, it will affect you indirectly.

pretty much why this topic is BLOGWORTHY!

whether through your own budgeting or your parents; whether physically or spiritually.... we're all part of the same whole.

these are perilous yet golden moments for Christians to shine the unchanging and stability of hope in Jesus!

my man Piper, with boldness and conviction, welcomes the recession and thus sees it as a "THANK YOU GOD!" healthy occurrence..... i say, "werd"!
