an answer for dad

The financial market has tanked, the country is a nervous wreck. Dad has been frustrated with Tom and i because we have not been more proactive with our financial accounts. He has Connie, (his third daughter), and they visit often, and i think have even been moving their money around. everything i have been hearing has been pointing to sitting tight, and not moving things around, unless you are Warren Buffet, and he is buying. Anyway, when I have visited with dad about all this, which infact is not visiting, but listening, i have not been able to respond, until yesturday morning during church, and then i knew what my strategy on finances is. a long time ago Dick taught me that worrying is a sin, that i am trying to grab control when i worry, when i should be praying and letting God do the rest. Then when i do, i should trust him, and historically God has taken such good care of Tom and i, and the girls, how dare i do otherwise? anyway,i called dad and gave him my schpeel, i don't think he probably got it, probably thought it naive, but he was gracious, and gave me credit for having my own way of doing things. hmmmmm.
