Perhaps there will be more chances for Cristians to find their way through such a cloud! Beilevers can become the friends of GOD. Services can begin happening for people who'll begin seeing us experiance the feeling our Jesus had as HE girded HIS garment,grabed the foot pan, and began cleanseing the nasty desciples feet. Brothers? Faith without works is dead faith! Get busy...Find some non-profit thing to do. Let us become sure we're into this serving thing. We are the body of Christ. this means our hands and our feet are HIS too. GOD bless you,in Christ, John... “Couldn’t it mean more opportunities?” Perhaps there will be more chances for Cristians to find their way through such a cloud!

One thing I'm praying for my team (and myself) these days is that we allow what we know about God to determine our perspective, not what we hear on the news. It's hard to tune out the media; after all, fear seems to get better ratings than quiet confidence. We have an opportunity here, as publishers and people, to demonstrate that life with Christ IS different. I’m with you, Pamela.

Since mid-Sept or so, we've been encouraging our customers not to panic and pull back on advertising. Research shows that firms that maintained or increased advertising during a recession had higher sales growth than those who eliminated or decreased advertising. Advertising during an economic downturn is smart for a number of reasons: - protects your existing market share - captures new market share - sustains brand recognition - less clutter ... your voice is heard - moves readers to take action Just a few thoughts to remind others the "sky isn't falling" ...

We glue ourselves to the TV news to hear the lastest on the stock market and what the goverment will do with the big three auto makers. In our house we turn off the news and read. Reading has a positive affect and one book that our household is enjoying at the moment is the daily devotional <a href="http://www.navpress.com/store/product.aspx?id=9781600063961" rel="nofollow">Holiness Day By Day</a> by Jerry Bridges. One of our favorites was week 13/Wednesday "Why We Worry". So why do you worry? The media seems to have that ability to create a level of fear because of the reach they have into our living rooms.
