A Short Prayer

A student asked me if I ever see God on the trolley?

I replied, "I see him everywhere."

The student asked, "Does he have a beard or a mustache?"

I replied, "God has a quiet presence."

I left the class off at the Bean to take pictures.
Suddenly, a man came up with a tube in his nose
pushing his son in a wheel chair. The boy could
barely talk. I asked them if I could say a prayer
and I prayed with them. The class returned from taking pictures.

Maybe, God does want all of us to come together.
Maybe, he wants us to build a brighter
road for our children or a happy home.
Maybe, he want us to take time to
notice he is there.

Buildling a Brighter Road

How can we build a brighter path?

1) National Debt: We simply can not pay back 11 trillion dollars. We need to decide what we can pay back and what we can not pay back. Pension plans and companies could be protected. The dollar will continue to decline with no action.

2) Health Care: An actuary will tell you that we need to control quality and costs.

3) American jobs need to stay in America. What can we offer our youth if we do not protect American jobs?

4) Global Warming: Floods, weather problems, and volcanic eruptions are risks we can ill afford.
How can we make our cities smog free? Can we use more electric vehicles?

America

America needs a draw a new path for the future. Eliminate the national debt?
Global Warming? Contain costs?
