Foggy greetings on the last day of 2008 early in the morning. Foggy about the future, but staying hopeful that eventually there will be clearer skies.
The future is also foggy because leaders with flagging courage have been telling lies that all would be well and the fundamentals are strong. Fortunately for me, I never believed them. I thank God for putting me with previously the right jobs and experience, the good friends to know. I feel sorry for those who have been misled into the wrong investments, who had trusted others who claimed they could see through the fog who are actually themselves clueless.
The fog will eventually lifts not because we make it so. It is only natural that it clears but we will have no lack of personalities to claim credit for it. If you think hindsight is 20/20 vision you are mistaken. Just look at one of those historical events that we have tried to attempt an honest study - The Great Depression and you will see how controversial it is. Professional historians know we cannot see history with clarity, how often facts are disputed, what more the hows, whats and whys. But we also cannot do without them, a broken compass is still a compass. We are humans.
We cannot agree on the past, the present passes too quickly, as like the fog I drove through this morning and the future is even murkier. So plans are for education and prayer, the expression of our hope and faith, and the future is engaged with courage and character than with brains. Brains is only good for the now, like choosing healthy over bad food, preferring to save than to waste on unnecessary spending...

Happy New Year!
