The Economy

Of course I knew the economy was having trouble. But all the market numbers and rate cuts and housing price % drops can all go over my head. A few nights ago I saw a commercial for Kmart Layaway. John was next to me and we just looked at each other and I said, "Wow. Layaway? Our economy really is bad isn't it?" (A couple years ago Wal-Mart discontinued their layaway service because it was rarely used.)



I read the following verses this morning which seemed fitting for times such as these:

Don't be obsessed with getting more material things. Be relaxed with what
you have. Since God assured us, "I'll never let you down, never walk off and
leave you," we can boldly quote,

God is there, ready to help; I'm fearless no matter what. Who or what can get to me?

Hebrew 13:5-6 (The Message)
