The Most Important two letter word

Tonight, like many other's we were privileged to watch The Town Hall For Hope, live from Oklahoma City, OK from the Romanian Hall of St. Michael's Orthodox Christian Church, in Southbridge.

Following Dave Ramsey's presentation, a question and answer period from across the nation brought about interesting questions from various modes of communication.

He said many interesting things which our pastor Fr. Peter Preble entered onto face book to inform non attendees as to what was being said.

Every point was of value but one thing stuck in my mind because it was something that I had been dealing with all day.

What is the most important two letter word that you do not use enough, that had been used in the past more and needs to make a comeback? The word NO.

My grandson has that word down. I've been telling him not to use it all day. So from the mouths of babes, once again comes the answer to resolving some of the basic problems of fixing this economy.

Many people need to learn to say no, when they know that they cannot afford something in order to avoid the debt that gets you into trouble, financially.

Now in the case of a three-year old, the No is a different matter. I've always been taught that the word no is a negative remark.

No matter how you slice it, one of the smallest words, has a mighty big impact.

We should not allow our Government and leaders to make decisions unwisely. We need to tell them to say NO. While your at it join me in saying NO to the recession. Hope does not come from Washington, DC. Hope is not man made. I'm standing for HOPE.

Thanks to Fr. Peter Preble for bringing us this opportunity to participate in the Town Hall style presentation for "hope." It was good to be able to share with our local community our thoughts and ideas over a cup of coffee and a tid-bit or two.
