Deficit between supply and demand: An opinion
It is not a secret that the nation, and perhaps the world, is experiencing a broken supply chain. How much is the deficit in this supply chain? It is estimated to be in the neighborhood of 30% (i.e., the demand exceeds the supply by 30%). Well, this shortage in supply items leads to an increase in the price of these items. Added to all of that is the war in Ukraine. Since Russia made its incursion into Ukrainian territory, certain items became even more scarce. The ripple effect of it is seen in Somalia. There has been a food shortage due to the lack of seasonal rain for several years. The last famine that occurred in Somalia was in 2011. The world interfered in 2017 to prevent another famine event there, as some quarter a million people, mostly children, died from hunger in 2011. Somalia "dodged the bullet" in 2017, but now it is again staring famine in the eye in 2022. Perhaps the wealthy nations can interfere once more to prevent another humanitarian disaster, but the question to ask: are they able to? The good old saying "when there is a will, there is an action" may not happen this time. During a mass service, a Catholic priest once said, "we all need to start thinking about using smaller tablespoons and learn to share." He is right. Let's hope and pray that the supply chain deficit does not affect the delivery of those smaller tablespoons because the immediate need is dire in Somalia.

The Ten Commandments
"Now the Lord spoke all these words, saying;
I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me.
You shall not make for yourself an idol or a likeness of anything in heaven above, or in the earth beneath, or in the waters under the earth. You shall not bow down to them, for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, recompensing the sins of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation of those who hate Me; but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
Remember the Sabbath Day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: neither you, nor your son, your daughter, your male servant, your female servant, your cattle, nor your stranger who sojourns with you. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore, the Lord blessed the Sabbath Day and hallowed it.
Honor your father and mother that it may be well with you, and your days may be long upon the good land the Lord your God is giving you.
You shall not murder.
You shall not commit adultery.
You shall not steal.
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
You shall not covet your neighbor's wife or his house, and neither shall you covet his field, nor his male servant, his female servant, his ox, his donkey, any of his cattle, or whatever belongs to your neighbor."
