Good News and Bad News

So... good news - there is no longer an 18 in spot on the wall
Bad news - there is not a 4ft. by 4ft spot on the wall
The magic erasers don't really take the spot away, just kinda spread it out AND it definitely took some paint off the wall. Looks like we'll be painting soon. Not very soon, but soon. Dumb.

So on another note. I'm watching the news and to be honest, I think this whole poor economy situation is good for some people. The people who are most affected and most upset are the people whose lives are surrounded by money and people who get their security and identity from money. Maybe this is a good wake up call to show them that there is life apart from having a huge excess of money as your security and that losing some money isn't the end of the world. Maybe it's a good thing for them to lose their life as they know it so that they can take realize the other assets they have in life other than wealth and materialism. I don't like the raise in prices of everything but my mom always says, "God didn't die yesterday you know." And God promises to supply all the needs of those who love and trust Him. It may not be a brand new X-Box or a closet full of designer jeans and shoes, but just like He gave manna in the wilderness, He'll give us food and shelter for today. Maybe it's time that people realize their false sense of security when they rely on their stocks and safety deposit boxes for security and realize that only God brings true security. It could be a revival in America.
