It's never that bleak!

Frugal Friday.... it's never that bleak!

41 days ago on the south-side on Indy, there was an explosion that was felt 3 miles away.  2 innocent people lost their lives, 2 houses were completely blown to pieces, and over 20 houses were beyond repair.  Today, they arrested 3 people for murder, arson, and insurance fraud.

The woman who owned the house that exploded was having severe money problems.  She left her house for a couple of days, cut a gas line, and set a microwave timer.  In her perfect world, I'm sure she thought only her house would be destroyed, she wouldn't get caught, and she would collect a lot insurance money.  But instead, she killed 2 innocent people (her neighbors house blew up as well), and many houses will have to be torn down and rebuilt.  

Your money situation may seem bleak, but remember that when you're in the situation, it's hard to see beyond it.  But when you step back, you will realize that "the waves they don't seem so high from on top of them looking down" (Casting Crowns).  I'm not trying to insensitive to people's money issues, but sometimes we just need to take a deep breath, pray, seek counsel, and make wise decisions.
