This last 3 weeks, our government elected officials have been fighting over the National Budget. The government actually shut down! Government employees were placed on furlough (Maggie's Mom for one), National parks and monuments were closed (although some D Day vets challenged that and went to see the WW2 memorial in DC anyway! To their credit, police did not arrest them or cause them any harm.)
There was news that folks on Social Security would not get their checks for at least 2 weeks if at all.
Since Dick is on Social Security (We know there is not security except in Christ and He provides our needs), we were wondering if he would get his check or not. It is a big part of our budget for bill paying and we had had to use more funds for gas than we had planned coming home from our trip to PA earlier this month. We got lost and added 3 hours to our trip.) That was my fault!
To our delight and praise to the Father and in His incredible grace and mercy, On the 15th of this month of October, Liberty University gave me an unexpected bonus in a check of $734! Then last night, October 16th) the Congress passed a budget. I am not sure if Dick will get his check or not, but we were able to get caught up on all of our bills and stock the house with groceries!
