On Strike

Life takes a left turn just when you think you have it going your way. Leave nothing to chance as they say, but we always do. We always think, "I've got this, it wont happen to me." Then that big Great Dane called circumstance comes along and takes a big dump right in the middle of the living room of your life while you watch helplessly.

I work for an aircraft manufacturer and we just went out on strike for some nefarious issues on a new contract that the majority of voters in my union thought worth fighting over. It's difficult to say who's right. There are good arguments on both sides (yes I am being purposefully vague).

I guess the reason I'm writing this entry is to say that we have a choice to make when we find ourselves in hard situations. We can panic and begin to fret over pennies or we can be wise and cautious, gauging everything for truth, looking for opportunities to overcome the circumstances.

For me, I know that God has the wheel of this ship and I will go where ever He goes.

These things can serve to make us into neurotic messes or make us stronger for the experience of seeing God move on our behalf.
