Facing the Future without Fear

Psalm 27:1; Psalm 34:4; Psalm 56:3; 2 Timothy 2:7; Hebrews 13:6; Jeremiah 29:11; Deuteronomy 31:8; Psalm 118:6; Hebrews 13:5-6

The Tsunami, we’d never heard that word, at least I hadn’t and certainly didn’t know you spelled it with a t and yet 230,000 people were literally swept away and lost their lives. Then the fires across California and other places, its amazing destruction. And the floods. We’ve had a lot of flooding here and across the country. And of course the hurricane, Katrina, and the tremendous damage and the loss of nearly 2000 lives with Katrina and that storm forever changed the landscape of the state of Louisiana and parts of Mississippi. And of course the recession, which started in 2007 and grew as Wall Street literally imploded in a series of scandals and corporate greed.
And we begin daily to have something else coming apart or finding out about the CEO’s who while their companies were going down they were taking millions of dollars in bonuses and then of course the corruption and the greed is from Washington to Wall Street and state capitals, the country was just in such, it didn’t tak ...
