It is December 31st and we are now concluding a year which has been a difficult year for the Marquette's. As we close out the year, we are still at war in Iraq and Afghanistan with no immediate end in sight. It is draining our nation's resources, resources that could very well be used at home in our fight to get our economy back where it should be. A fight that we seem to be losing at this time.
We will have a new president in just 20 days and he will be facing a most difficult task in his attempt to turn around our failing economy and put our country back where the rest of the world will respect us for the good that we have historically done for nations around the world. With our nation trillions in debt, I will not live to see the day when all this is paid back to those who have extended us credit. I am convinced that the U.S.A. has ventured into dangerous economic waters which has taken us away from the free enterprise system that has served our nation so well for two centuries. Being a "go for it" type of guy, I feel frustrated that we as individuals can really do nothing but set back and see how this all comes out.
In spite of this difficult past year, I am looking forward to 2009 with great anticipation for my family, for our businesses and for our nation. We are still a "Nation under God" and I have faith that as long as we honor Him, He will provide for us in one way or another. May God give you rich blessings this New Year!
