What are the chains that bind us? \u00a0How can we break them? \u00a0For some time I’ve been giving too much thought to the state of our economy, our nation, and our world. \u00a0No doubt we are in a sorry state. \u00a0The possible outcomes can be anywhere from troubling to disastrous. \u00a0So what can we do? \u00a0Let’s see, if I had a few hundred trillion dollars I could fix it all, or most of it, \u00a0but sorry, there’s not that much in the tank! \u00a0So if we can’t change it, what to do????!!!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Take a deep breath. \u00a0The worst that can happen is the worst that can happen. \u00a0Sorry, I’m not sure I got that? \u00a0Yep, life can serve up some tough times. \u00a0Facing them can be hard indeed, but we can prepare, prepare by having faith God, faith in our families, and pray for our fellow men. \u00a0Use every downturn to reach others that are lost and even more frightened than we are.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Are difficult times coming? \u00a0I have no better idea than you do, but I know God will be with us, He promised He would! \u00a0I know He doesn’t break His promises, and that brings me comfort! \u00a0That is how you break the chains of fear.<\/p>\n

Blessings,<\/p>\n
