Tuesday prayers

Tuesday.I am hopeful that things are getting better. They seem to be. I wish things were a little more even and not bouncing up and down. I woke up earlier than normal today. I am not sure why. The bed was comfortable but I couldn't translate that to going back to sleep. I hope I am not going to suffer as a result of the lack of sleep today.

I wish I could take an afternoon off and go to Callaway today. I have got too much to do. I really wanted to go there this past Sunday, but ended up helping Cindy clean up the house instead. It needed to be done. Things can get out of hand quickly.

Scattered. The weather is scattered. The news had a story about a farmer in Floyd County in North Georgia who has had an inch and a half on his corn since April. His corn is very small and the plants are about half what they should be. Who would want to do that for a living?

Kroger is showing a commercial about chicken. They don't mention the steroids used to make those chicken breasts bigger. They leave that to the news story about the professional wrestler who killed his family and himself. There is a connection.

There is a connection between the stock market and the economy but not a one for one connection. There are sincere troubles which the stock market doesn't mirror. The housing market and the money market are poor right now. The lending agencies are tightening the money available. This reduces the amount of money for homes and refinancing.

It is a different world in which we live. I pray for more rain and more economic health.
