Well, saying you are concerned you might lose your job to my mind simply means you are concerned about losing your job not that you don't have faith for a new one! I am just trying to get a feel for job security.

I understand what you mean. And since I work for a company (Bridgestone) that depends in a large part on the auto manufacturing industry, there's always that concern. I just choose not to think too long or deeply on it. For my own state of mind, I'm choosing to trust that if that day does come, God knew it beforehand and, since I'm His and He is mine, He'll take care of us somehow.
I sure wasn't meaning to sound disrespectful or condescending; I hope I didn't offend. This is a very trying time - especially when we're coming off of a time of such (perceived) prosperity and greed, a lot of people are hearing the wake-up call.

No, I didn't think you sounded disrespectful at all. I am just hoping people will vote concern if they feel it. I understand having the faith that God will pull you through in spite of feeling concerned. But, I want the poll numbers to reflect whether people are concerned or not.
I agree that people have been living very high for a very long time. It is past time to wake up.

I agree...saying that I am concerned does not mean I don't have faith. In this global economic crisis nothing is certain.
My prayer is that God will keep me where I am. It is convenient for me...it's just 15 minutes from my home, where if my mother needed me I could be right there.
That and the fact I have been there 6 years and know the job well...at 57 I just don't want to have to drive a long distance or start over.

I can't blame you for that, Barb.
