Fed, Stock Market, Oklahoma, It is all Down

Watching the news, last night, all I heard was the word down. So all I could conlude was the December 11, 2007 was a very down day.
The Fed dropped interest rates, and the stock market went down. At the same time the housing crisis is making Christmas a real down time.

The ice storm has got Oklahoma down. Computer and government offices are down. More than 600,000 people have their electricity down. Airports are down.

A twin truck bombing in Algiers took down over 30 people. A triple car bomb in southern Iraq took down 39 people and wounding more than 100.

All this down stuff happening it is hard to be up about the Christmas. Maybe we need to looking at all the people who are helping others. That is a real up. In fact is that not the real meaning of Christmas and this time of the year.

• Barbara Morgan, astronaut/teacher is up in McCall Idaho.
  
• Electric crews from Texas are heading up to Oklahoma to help out.
• Like always the Red Cross is up to helping people who need help.
• Where would we be without the Salvation Army helping people up.
• I do not know of a school, church or group that is not up and helping with food, toy, or clothing drive for those in need.
