(Testing Microphone)
Testing. Testing. It is important to test to see if the microphone is on - just ask the Rev. Jesse Jackson.

Rain
It has rained a lot this year in the northeastern states.  The Midwest wish it would quit raining and California wish it would start.

Gas Prices
As Steve Wright said, "Everywhere is walking distance if you have the time." I am finding that with the high gas prices; I am having more time.

Closing
It was announced in the news this week that Starbucks will be closing 600 stores. And half of them are on our church block.

Psychiatrist
A court-appointed psychiatrist took the stand in the Christie Brinkley's divorce trail. The psychiatrist, Dr. Stephen Herman, said that the model needs to examine her taste in men. That is just like psychiatrists - charging a lot of money to state the obvious.

Birth
We congratulate Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban on having their first baby. The wealthy actor and singer named their baby: Sunday, which is a good name because the baby will never have to work a day in her life.

Treatment
According to a study, mothers treat cute babies nicer than they do those that are homely. They also found out that dads usually treat their babies the same way: they let mom deal with the baby as they play golf.

Direction
According to a new poll, the number of Americans who believe the country is moving in the wrong direction has risen to 80%, amid soaring food and gas prices, falling home values and unending war. Just 17 percent say the country is going in the right direction. And those 17 percent work for oil companies.

Money
Barack Obama says he will not accept $85 million of public financing for his campaign. He is passing on $85 million because he is raising enough money. My question is: just how much money is he raising on the internet?

Prediction
It was reported this week that Chrysler sales are down 22 percent and it is reported that the automaker could be forced to file bankruptcy if conditions do not improve in the second half of 2009. I think the Chryslers' CEO better get in contact with Lee Iacocca and start becoming good friends with the US Congressional Finance Committee.

Inflation
If inflation continues to raise as it has in the past year, we all will be working like a dog just to live like one.
