It might be a good thing when nobody has the luxury to be intolerant!

To those that haven't been effected by the economy yet, I hope you are prepared! It's going to get worse before it gets better.

You think January was bad, wait until 1st quarter reports come out and corporation have to re-do earnings projections for the year. Some feel the market could fall another 10-20%! Businesses will be closing left and right with unemployment reaching 10%+.

Don't be a fool and think this is just another bump in the road!

IT IS BAD.

Now look, God is good, and I know my future is in His hands, but I fully intend to use the brain he gave me to prepare for all of this.
  • Our church will not be making any large purchases for the forseeable future.
  • I am taking a THIRD job.
  • We started a foodshare program a few months ago.
Who is the foodshare program for...your church, the community?
