To all of the people that have been laid off or lost their jobs, I feel your pain. I lived in the northern panhandle and worked at Weirton Steel for almost 30 years when corporate greed bankrupted the company and we all lost our jobs. You will all be in my prayers and may God help find employment for all those that suffered the effects of corporate greed. For those CEO's out there, I hope that when you sit down to Thanksgiving Dinner and gather around the Christmas Tree you think of all of those that you put out of work so that you can have your bonuses and golden parachutes. I hope that someday the working class men and women can return the favor and put you in the street to scratch for a living. All of the money in the world won't protect you on Judgement Day and then you will pay for your "Corporate Greed".

God really watched over these men. He answered everyone's prayer. If these men didn't have strong faith they probally would have never made it. But, because of one choice in there lives they believed. Thank God for that. I send my love to the family. God Bless you all.
