Tis the Season to Bailout...
Time to Ramble but first another thanks to those that helped out towards the Christmas Party for the kids in Kenya. The actual total came close to 3800.00 as people continue to give towards this outreach. Kibera is in need of one of those bailouts as well. Now it seems companies are getting in line to ask for a bailout. Not so sure if its a good idea to fly in on a private jet to ask for some money? And the economy is so bad yet Black Friday sales were up over 7 %? I heard Fox news say this only took place due to good deals. Ah isnt that what Black Friday is about? Stampeding one another for that "limited supply" item to the tunes of Silent Night or We wish You a Merry Christmas? I believe we should bring back "pong" and Atari and we could easily convince kids (and parents) its a Must for the Holidays. For most of us no matter the present we are eventually like the 2 yr old who is just as amused with the wrapping paper and the box than the gift itself. Most of us cant recall what we got last year and forget about asking who got us which gift. And when it comes to giving We do tend to give to get back. Mostof us have to know who is getting them a present so they can exchange and hopefully it comes close as in a necktie for socks. Admit it, if you got somebody a plasma tv for Christmas and they got you a pair of gloves you would say wow they fit, thanks! But all along you are imagining using those gloves to beat that love one up. Of course its nice to hear at least a thank you, or if you give a lot of yourself or money you may want to see change in that persons life. Even a card/ thank you would be nice. But the reward is in the giving itself, nothing needed in return. At least thats definitely the example Jesus set for all of us. He gave and asked nothing in return, simply a Gift to all of us. If we are still waiting for that thank you, holding our breathe for our reward in return then I think we are pretty much still caught up in the box and wrapping paper. So this Holiday season give someone a "bailout" a friend, a neighbor, even a enemy or complete stranger...after all Tis the Season.... to Give..Now back to a game of Frogger...

Oh my goodness...Wow! Thanks for reading and posting Mberenis....
Gee, we try to get all of our friends to post and we end up with a marketing guru....is there something wrong with this picture.
Anyway, great post Selah. I'm glad the "bailout" that Christ offered was one that didn't bring inflation. After all, He could afford it. It cost Him His life, but He willingly laid it down.
Hey...MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE!!!
Mr Mberenis could not be more incorrect. Most lenders are requiring more of a down payment than they ever have. I guess if you have enough to put down then you could probably get a really good loan. Not to mention the fact that one has to have a great credit score. If a credit score is not over 700 points it will be very difficult to even get a loan. I also heard that most mortgage lenders are requiring at least a 5% down payment. That does not sound like much but when you consider a decent house still goes for $200,000 plus that is a nice chunk of change. Which by the way equals $10,000. I don't know about anyone else but I don't have 10 Gs laying around. The housing prices are going down, but they are still higher by a considerable percentage than they were even five years ago.
So anyway, that is my two cents worth.
Oh I almost forgot.
BAH HUMBUG!
