I woke up this morning and knew that today,
The sun would not be shining and the clouds would be gray.
As I stepped outside, rain fell upon my head.
My car wouldn’t start so I walked to school instead.

I forgot all of my assignments I failed all of my tests.
I dropped my head in disgust and asked the Lord for one request.
“Lord, why is it that things won’t go my way?”
He gently replied, “Dear child it is because you didn’t thank Me yesterday.

“I woke you up and enabled you to see the sun again.
I gave you shelter, protected your family, and even let you make a new friend.
I blessed you far greater than I ever had before.
But you were too busy to thank Me once more.

“You didn’t feel sick because I maintained your health.
You had money in your pocket because I maintained your wealth.
You had shoes on your feet and clothes to wear, too.
You had plenty of food to eat, and what did you do?

“You ignored Me and went about your tasks.
But when you wanted something you never hesitated to ask.
I was there when you needed Me and that wasn’t too long ago.
But when things started going your way, it was Me you did not know.

“As if that weren’t enough, I provided your favorite luxuries.
This was something I didn’t have to do – they weren’t even necessities.
And when it was time to get on your knees and show your gratitude,
You decided that after such a fulfilling day, you weren’t in the mood.

“So I decided to give you just a little test.
To show you how it would feel to stop being blessed.”

I began to realize what the Lord was saying.
And when I got home, I fell to my knees and started praying.

He said, “My child, you have learned and you know I do forgive.
But remember this day as long as you shall live.
I love filling your life with joy, and your pain I’ll alleviate it.
“But just a simple ‘thank you’ would show how much you appreciate it.”

“Rejoice always,
pray without ceasing,
in everything give thanks;
for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

At this point in time it appears more of the same political risk that has been present for some time. However, some may not be able to handle the financial and mental anguish that can come from the situation becoming far worse. Therefore I’m going to suggest to those who can’t afford the situation developing into something more than a bump in the road to consider selling and moving on. Because I don’t think this is a universal move at this time, the company will remain in the model portfolio but be a hold until further notice. Please note as I type I personally would likely be a buyer if this news in current form took this stock much below $2.50.

I spoke to Sunridge Gold management this evening. It was their view that if such a resolution actually was voted on,China and or Russia would veto it.China has been active in the country. They said their operations remain normal. Here too those who wish to be safe versus sorry can move aside. We shall address this further as more information becomes available.

I’ll be monitoring this closely and will post again when needed.
