When will it stop?

As the Dow plunged below 7,000 today and I read the reports coming out of New York and economists from around the country, you can almost hear the panic in their voices. They don't know where the bottom is and they do not know how bad things are going to get. I am not as smart as the experts are and I sure don't know how things are going to turn out. If I did I guess I wouldn't have to be a reporter for a living.
I know people are scared, but what good does it do. There have been a lot of people who blame the media, Washington, banks, lenders and a whole bunch of other folks for the problems out there, but the blame should lie on all of our shoulders.
I am not trying to be diplomatic, just truthful. We all bought into the, "we have to have it now, so let's mortgage everything to get it," attitude. Now it is coming back to haunt us.
The government is no help. These massive spending plans coming out of the Obama administration and begun by the Bush administration are only pouring gasoline onto the flames and I'm afraid eventually the chickens are going to come home and roost from all of this money the government is pulling out of thin air and burdening us with for generations to come. It is definitely apparent the nation's investors don't have a lot of faith in the plans this new Socialist government is putting forth.
There is an answer, though few now will believe it, and that is Jesus Christ.
Trillions of dollars will not fix the problem, but sincere repentance before the cross of Christ will put us on the road to redemption.
It may not solve our financial woes, but they are only temporary — Christ is eternal.
