Bitter Lemonade

Sometimes you think you have everything all figured out and then all of a sudden... Wham!  Something hits you like a ton of bricks.  Yesterday was just such a day.  Mid-morning, I received a phone call from a friend at work ...  in hushed words, it was explained to me that this person's job was changing and things were very bad.  This person was concerned about another person, and a phone call to this person confirmed these very bad things.  Then people wanted to meet with me... I thought I was going to puke.  All in all, it could have been worse.  However, one coworker is no longer with us and there is a job shift for four others, including myself.  Wow.  I never imagined myself to be immune to the "current economic crisis" but I also never imagined being a "victim" either.  

So, after a day of emotional roller coasters and nausea...  I have been thinking and praying for the people that were effected by the domino effect of our current economic climate.  It isn't just me & my coworkers...  it is everyone.  (The trickle down effect seems to trickle a lot heavier than the trickle up that our current President believes, but that is another issue, another blog.)   And I know that you have to have faith that God has a plan for you, and we need to trust in Him.  And I know that you need to turn the other cheek.  And I also know that life gives you lemonade and sometimes you have to make lemonade.  But why so bitter?  ya know?
