Thanks, Chuck, for posting the Promises.  That was exactly what I needed 
to see this evening.
And I'm reminded that it's not economic insecurity that leaves us, it's
the "fear" of economic insecurity that leaves us.
Right now, that's where I am.  Financially insecure, but not afraid
of it.  I know I'll be taken care of, and that I'll be okay.  It will
work out.  I'm not entirely sure how, but I know that it will.
