Taxes, National Spending, War on Terror, Oil and the election.
It’s pretty easy to be disgruntled with the state of the nation right now. Gas is over $4.00 a gallon; The national debt is astronomical and both Republicans and Democrats pine away for the opportunity to increase spending and or taxes; Islamofacists haven’t surrendered even though they have greatly reduced effectiveness. Our troops are still in combat.
Yet, truthfully the average American is wealthy; particularly when compared with 85% of the rest of the world.
We might be unhappy with the level of our wealth, unhappy that we don’t live in the top 1 percent of global luxury, yet we as a rule truly are wealthy. Additionally, we are incredibly dissatisfied with our wealth. We want more.
Unfortunately, politics and politicians can not give us that more.
Only a true relationship with God can.
