I found out over the weekend that a company that I had worked for has closed its manufacturing facility in Ohio. Just today I recieved an email from a friend that still works there saying that several business units are up for sale. With all this uncertainity in our economy and the constant barrage of negativity from the daily news it is no wonder that we have trouble remaining positive.
We may think losing a job or a business failure will prevent us from ever going forward in our career. We may be convinced a difficult childhood will keep us from healthy, loving relationships. Or we may feel that a physical limitation will keep us from true fulfillment. Not so in God's kingdom! Just look at what Nick Vujicic has done with his limitiations. What can we do with ours?
Let us also lay aside every weight and the sin that clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us. (Hebrews 12:1 NRSV)
About Me
- Unforced Rhythms of Grace
- Michael is ...a 40-something Michgander who likes movies, television, coffee, women, and song. He's been described as having "a laconic, dry, sense of humor", which might be an understatement. He has a wide array of interests, likes almost all varieties of music to some degree or another, and will try just about anything once (except for asparagus). He wouldn't mind if the U.S. national anthem was replaced by "Louis, Louis". He believes that if you break your shoelace while you're getting dressed for work, you should get a free day off because it's always downhill from there. He loves the smell of the city right after it's rained. He thinks that the English language is fun because there's no correct way to write the sentence, "There are three ways to write the word 'to'." He believes that Diet Dr. Pepper really does taste just like regular Dr. Pepper.
