Gas prices

[Guest Gladiator4God]

Just wondering on how the sky high price of fuel has changed how you and your family operates

[jesussaves]

The rising prices have prompted me to look for cheaper places to buy gas, even if it means driving a few miles out of my way.

I know it must be placing a real hardship on low income families. They will probably have to cut their food budgets so they can buy gas to go to work.

Sky high gas prices? They are causing alot of stress around here. We live on a farm, about 900 acres. My husband farms and has cattle. Everything is costing us more. We use alot of gas for tractors to cut hay, bale hay, harvest wheat and corn. Move hay home; move equipment home and to the field. Not to mention gas for trucks and our car. We use both reg. gas and diesel. It is really costing us alot to get our grain from the field into the bin. Then, of course, we have to haul it to town to sell. Grain prices are down, of course. We are praying that cattle prices stay high.

We are praying that gas prices come down soon. We are also praying that cattle prices stay high -- so grill alot of steak everyone!!

In Christ,

My goodness! It's really tough.........

We're having to make drastic cuts on other things and I fear that this isn't going to get much better.

Sure- prices may go down 3-5 cents, but then go back up 7-9.

I fear that this is only the early stages of what is to come. Everything is GOING UP and will continue to do so EXCEPT our wages! And that disparity grows daily.

I don't see it getting better any time soon.

Here its very rual, people drive great distances to work for peanuts, no way they can keep it up at current prices

I do fall under that bracket and trust me- it's pretty difficult. But when you've lived on this end of the rope for the better part of your life, you learn to cope with many situations and make the best of what's left.

But this is a different monster that gobbles up even the little scraps leaving nothing left. So there will definitely be drastic changes.

God Bless

If I could send you steak, you bet I would!

It is very rural here, too. Some people have to work off the farm and wages are pretty low. I don't see how some people are going to make it.

It looks like Christ is coming back soon because even the economy is shaking and groaning.

That's exactly how I, and many others who I know, feel like too.

And I also feel that this passage has something to do with what's happenning with these high prices- but I can't quite figure it out:

Rev 6:6

And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living beings, saying, "A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; but do not harm the oil and the wine."
