I figured I was looking at a regular Alaska price, but Virginia isn't usually that high.The regular price for our 16.9 oz 6 packs are $7.99 but I get it when it's on sale for 4 for $12.

I've noticed a lot more empty shelves in all of the grocery stores I go to. Granted, most of the time it's early afternoon when I shop, so maybe that's a part of it.
AMEN! My pastor always says, "America doesn't need a political revival. America needs a spiritual revival. America needs Jesus!"Our food bills have gone up dramatically. We like to eat a lot of chicken. It's healthy and has been relatively inexpensive (about 2.99 to 3.99 a pound for boneless, skinless breasts.) But last night at a major chain grocery store I had to pay $10.99 a pound! Dark red kidney beans that used to cost 49 cents a can are now priced at 82 cents. Rice, sugar, flour, everything has gone way up in just the past few months. And finding bare store shelves is increasingly common. The policies of this government are making life increasingly hard for us lower income people. But I bet the politicians (of both parties) --who live off the taxes we pay-- don't feel it much, if at all. I pray enough Americans see what is happening and why, and do something about it this November, and again two years from then. We need to see term limits for ALL offices and eliminate the professional politician class, along with their high incomes and privileges. The founding fathers foresaw a nation in which ordinary working men and women who cared for their nation and their neighbors would go to Washington to serve, at no greater income than they already enjoyed, and then return to their farms and businesses and jobs when they had finished their contribution to the nation and the people who elected them. But look at the professional, entitled elite that we the people have permitted to develop ... on our own dime!
It's realizations such as the above that have helped me learn that, while we should try to improve life in our country through informed decisions at the ballot box and by working for the welfare of where we live, nevertheless God alone can ensure a prosperous nation ... and that only as the nation honors Him.
I may do what I can here on earth as far as doing what I can to benefit society --by caring, by working, by speaking out against injustice and greed, and acting for the broken, the hurting, and the marginalized-- but it is only temporal and shallow. Only by serving God, honoring Him, studying and sharing His Word, lifting Jesus up to others in word and deed, allowing the Holy Spirit to work through us, can we actually contribute in a meaningful way, to the people of this nation and this world. Nothing is more important than proclaiming the gospel and making disciples of Jesus Christ. When the last Gentile is brought into the Kingdom, that work will be complete and the Rapture will take place.
No matter how insignificant we may feel ourselves to be, no matter how little we think we can do, we should do it for God. Every person has a role and we should not worry about how tiny or inconsequential it may be: God is the One in control and He is the One who will work through us. Even simply leaving tracts in various places has an impact for the Kingdom. It was a simple tract that I stumbled on in a rented van that prepared my heart to receive the gospel and be saved a few months later. There is nothing you can do that is too little. And if you cannot think of anything, ask God to show you something; I guarantee that He will.
Sorry for the thread hijack. But we always need to remember in the midst of economic or political turmoil that our focus must be on the Kingdom of God and, therefore, on Jesus Christ and His Gospel.
I just made a discovery about economics that should ease everyone’s mind and in fact will cause nationwide celebration. It’s called the wage price spiral and could lead to RECESS! I am still studying the Wikipedia article but it seems that it’s like the rotors of a helicopter that go faster and faster and prices seem to be rising out of control. But - wages go up too because workers tell their bosses that they need higher wages so they can afford the higher prices. I guess that’s why they call it recess because wages can soar above price hikes while workers just relax and play outside until they get the good news about their raises. I am still reading the article while trying to get the happy news out to everyone so be patient for a minute………………………………………………hey wait a minute…….I may have incorrectly entered the definition I wanted………I googled “swing slide playground helicopter wage recess” but in looking back at the article title it says RECESSION. OK this sounds like an easing of anxiety or My Pillow technology so hold on……….sorry……….…………………………………………………um…………..………..never mind.
My plan to move to New York to shoplift is ruined. Can’t afford the gas.
