A great lady in my ward passed away Sunday morning. She served as my Relief Society President for the first 5 years we lived in our ward. We never went to lunch or went on long walks. We weren't close friends but I considered her a sister in my ward whom touched my life in so many ways. She was a Giant among women and will truly be missed. I have a quote in my home from Marvin J. Ashton:
GREATNESS is best measured by how well an individual responds to the happenings in life that appear to be totally unfair, unreasonable, and undeserved.
Elaine Knighton was a lady of GREATNESS. She was my strength, my mentor, strenghtend my testimony and gave me hope. I will miss her presence at card making night every month, her lessons in Relief Society, her laughter at enrichment nights and her smile as I passed by her each Sunday on the back row in Sacrament. Her testimony of the Savior and His love for her in such a trying time will live on in my heart. I thank her and love her.

BLOODY MONDAY
Bloody Monday- is over
The final week of January began a blood bath for the job market. Over 71,000 more job cuts were announced on the following Monday.
At least 6 companies from manufacturing and service industries cut thousands of jobs. More than 200,000 job cuts have been announced so far this year and more than 2.6 million jobs were lost in 2008. The highest yearly job loss since 1945.
The consumer has been hit hard. Less spending equals more job loss.
Construction machinery manufacturer said that it will cut 20,000 jobs.
Pfitzer said it would cut 10% of its staff of 81,900 and close 5 of it's manufacturing plants. A second round of cuts will be the combine Pfitzer/Wyeth
staff at a 15% cut of its employees.
Sprint/Nextel, Home Depot, Texas instruments , Warner Bro. Entertainment, Microsoft, Honda, Motorola, Walgreens, Macey's, John Deere, Ethan Allen, Cigna, Hertz, Boeing, Intel and more....also having huge layoffs. It's a terrifying start to 2009.
Some time ago I started buying a case of food each time I went grocery shopping. The one thing that is hard for me to remember is WATER. Food storage is not much good to my family without water. There are so many options out there of how to store water. I think that buying water bottles by the case will be a good start until I can invest in bigger containers. Fuel is also important. Propane for the grill and a portable toilet. I know that if I'm prepared, the out dated food and all I have tried to save will have the Lords blessing and my family will be okay. Remember to pray for our President
