Falling Apart

As I look back at 2008 my first thought is to think that everything is falling apart. The stock prices plummeting, thousands of houses going into foreclosure, inflation, a depression looming it is all kind of scary at first thought. It was New Years Eve and New Years day when I was sitting on the coach thinking of all these things and just processing the year at its end and a friend so kindly reminded me that I am still in the wealthiest 10 percent of the world. Really when I am reminded of this it comes to mind why am I so lucky.

He will keep you strong to the end so that you will be free from all blame on the day when our Lord Jesus Christ returns. God will do this, for he is faithful to do what he says, and he has invited you into partnership with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. 1 Cor. 1:8,9

So as I go into 2009 I look a new goal for myself and it may seem simple, but as the world goes lately I want to look at my glass as Half Full instead of always Half Empty because really with the Lord as my Savior can the glass really ever be even Half Empty no matter how bad it gets?
