Gas Pains

Regular gas in the Chicago area is well over $4 a gallon. Fortunately Sheri and I work at home. I don't know how normal people do it, commuting and filling-up twice a week!

This week we're hosting a couple from Norway while they attend a conference at our church. Last night after liter-to-gallon and Kroner-to-Dollar conversions I was surprised to learn that a gallon of fuel in Norway is over $12 a gallon!

At 5,000,000, Norway's population is half that of Chicago -- and the geography much tighter --  making alternative transportation modes (bicycles and walking) more viable. Fuel prices aren't big news in Norway.

Does anyone else get the idea God is trying to get America's attention?
