It seems that it’s a good thing that the market was closed for Good Friday because this has been a terrible week (and the futures for Monday aren’t looking so hot). The good news is that you probably aren’t buying any Spanish bonds which seem to be sliding in Greece. Let’s hope that this doesn’t happen to you (click link).
Our economy shows feeble signs of recovery, but the artificially low interest rates, the excessive number of dollars created by the fed, our massive and growing debt plus a new round of anticipated mortgage foreclosures suggest a very rocky road ahead. If you watch the mainstream news, you may not be aware of our difficulties because the President is having an affair with Rosy Scenario. It doesn’t really matter because when the wheels fall off again, it will be, in Obama’s words, “Bush’s fault.” The driving motto of this administration seems to be “why tell the truth when lying is more beneficial.” All administrations and governments lie….frequently and unnecessarily…but this one is transforming prevarication into an all-consuming art form. Any astute observer cannot detect the multiple lies in any statement or announcement by or from the government. Our national tragedy is that we do not have enough astute people at this time to bring that behavior to an abrupt halt. Too many of our citizens are wandering in never-never land like this…..
It has been a glorious spring here at the Little Pat-Ch of Paradise. We have completed numerous outside tasks and are eager preparing to begin planting in about 10-15 days. We must be reasonably certain that the prospect of frost has passed and that our soil temperature is warm enough for the little plants and seeds. Ground moisture is rather good, and we’ve been getting enough showers to maintain it. Nearly all of our plantings are with heritage seeds meaning that in addition to the produce, we will harvest seeds for next year’s crop. I probably shouldn’t have written this paragraph because it may place me on another “watch list.” Oh well, the more the merrier.
This past Thursday and Friday I sat in for Fred LeFebvre on the
6:00-9:00am morning show on 1370 WSPD. I will be continuing on Monday and Tuesday of this week (4/9 & 4/10). Join us at www.wspd.com then write me nasty notes as you critique my amateurism….. or not.
It doesn’t happen very often, but this year Passover and Good Friday are on the same day. Christians sometimes forget that Christ was a Jew and observed the Holy Days. We together are “the people of the Book” as we share a major portion of God’s Word. To all my Jewish friends and readers I wish a very special Passover as you remember the protection provided by God when your ancestors were in bondage.
As a born-again believer, our celebration during this time is extra special. While Christmas is designed to celebrate the birth of God’s son and our eventual Redeemer, we cannot be certain of the precise dates. Holy Week, on the other hand, was the period immediately prior to the Passover. The Last Supper was a Passover feast. The week began with Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. The agony of the cross on Friday was His sacrifice for our sin, and His glorious resurrection on Sunday…..Resurrection Sunday!!!!
Have a blessed weekend.
