Think we’re being tested? Yea, we’re being tested….but how will we come out on the other side?

It seems like its one challenge after another doesn’t it? First it was 9-11, then the wars in the Middle East….bombings in all parts of the world…the tsunami in Asia, Hurricane Katrina, and now Rita.

It’s hard to really comprehend the tumultuous changes that seem to be pervading our world. We’ve absorbed enough shock and pain fort the entire 21st century – so stop!

Could it be that we just think there is more adversity because we weren’t privy to much in the way of current events before the press became so universal? Or, are we really living in a time of excessive adversity? Whatever the case, its time to think about our actions, clear our head and realize that we are living in a much larger world than our parents….it is clear that life on earth can have a domino effect.

Creating our future – oh yes we are - actions we take here in Texas might really jerk the chain of someone 5,000 miles away and vice versa. The short and long term success is up to us.

People are moving west to Texas! The population of Texas was already growing at warp speed – but now that Katrina hit, and now Rita, it is possible the state will grow by another huge chuck of people who might migrate from states far to the east. Financially this will be stressful on our already tight economy. So what do we do?

We start making smart decisions. We start making every penny count. We start being better parents, being good influences on those in our sphere, being accountable for our actions, acting responsibly. We make sure our children are healthy, strong and educated.

Start walking your talk today - quick putting it all off 'til tomorrow. Tomorrow is now today!
