In the midst of a recession there is still life.

The times are pretty bad in most places around the United States and even the world for that matter.  People are being let off of jobs and those that are looking for jobs are having trouble finding one.  Companies are cutting back on bonuses and asking for hand outs and some are even going under all together.  My own wife, Heather, has been out of work for months and has been struggling to find a job.  Heather is a very bright college student and is just looking for a part time job; that should not be hard!  But there is hope in this economy. 

I am currenty working for Intuit, a company that does financial software.  You may have seen them around; they make software, such as Turbo Tax and Quicken.  I am part of a pilot program that they are going to start testing.  Intuit is wanting to provide technology support for their clients.  This is giving me a very unique opportunity to develop my tech skills and learn a lot, while helping others.  I am sure that Intuit is looking ahead, not behind.  In this economy it is hard to still invest in the future when you dont know what will happen tomorrow.  If Intuit is investing in the future, then it is for sure that other companies are as well.  I am sure for those of you who currenty are working, you can tell that the economy is starting to get a little bit of life again.  

I might just be optimistic, but I think that we all will pull through this.  I know that even if things mess up now, with Yahweh and his Messiah, we will be flexable enough to adapt and eventually we will be back on top of things.
