A cartoon for the times

My sister sent me this cartoon. In light of my last post, it seems appropriate. Sigh...

What a world we live in these days...

So I got a letter in the mail at the office this morning informing me that the church's business credit card has been canceled, effective 5/30/09. This is not due to the fact that either I or the church have in any way proven to be unworthy of credit. No, it's because our credit card company has had its credit revoked by its lenders, so they no longer have money to lend to us. This is surely the weirdest development I've ever experienced. Who ever heard of a credit company with bad credit?

In related news, our '06 Dodge minivan is on the fritz again. Even though it only has 43,000 miles on it, we are having engine problems and may need a new transmission. Since no one is minding the store at Dodge though, there's no one to hear us complain. I guess if the Lord wants to spend His money this way, He's free to do so, but as His steward, I'd rather spend it on something more fun. Still, it's ultimately His van and His money, so I will trust Him.
