He could only hope that somewhere amid the overwhelming destruction he would find his 16-year-old son. Only the slim hope of finding Danny kept him from turning and fleeing the scene. He took a deep breath and proceeded. Walking was virtually impossible with so many things strewn across his path. He moved ahead slowly.
He couldn't understand how this could have happened. There was some light but not enough to see very much. Something cold and wet brushed against his hand. He jerked it away.
In desperation, he took another step then cried out, "Danny!"
From a nearby pile of unidentified material, he heard his son. "Yes, Dad," he said, in a voice so weak it could hardly be heard.
"It's time to get up and get ready for school," the man sighed, "and, for heaven's sake, clean up this room!"
Times are tough, Food is almost at an all time high. We got a break with Gas prices,they are down but don't get the idea it will last for long. There is only one way to stretch that dollar.
Separate your NEEDS from your WANTS. Tell the kids they will need to also.
Spend those dollars only on your families NEEDS till you are sure you can buy a WANT. Then ONLY BUY ONE THING. Save something every week even if it is only a buck in a cookie jar.
