It always comes back. I have been writing a lot lately how we are in a time where families are helping families on a mass scale. Neat to see tough times bring out the good. Your message is up my alley. Good stuff. It always comes back. I have been writing a lot lately how we are in a time where families are helping families on a mass scale.

Selfishness and Greed are human nature and it's probably what got us into this economic mess to start with. A lot of people are simply fearful of the future and with good reason if their hope is in material possessions and the things of this world. During a depression there are lot of people searching for "Truth" and "Meaning" in their lives. When people realize what they were holding onto is no longer secure or lasting an emptiness overtakes them and a spiritual search begins. I like to come at this economic trouble from a different angle than a lot of those fearful people though. This depression can actually be a great time if we think about it. Inventions, innovations, and most importantly "Loving and Helping People" were born out of the great depression when people had to find ways to cope and provide for their families and others. What an opportunity for us to share our faith and to reach out a helping hand and offer hope. I know we can weather these tough times as long as we look for ways to help others and be that beacon of hope! LM Great insights bro.
