Rightsizing
One of the few benefits in this stumbling economy is that we all get cut a little slack.
Three years ago, if our business was failing, we were a foolhardy entrepreneur. If we were laid off from work, we were a bad employee. If we were unable to pay our mortgage we were reckless.
Nowadays, those of us who are struggling are able to blame the economy and get somewhat of a pass. It’s because misery has plenty of company.
But, if most of us are honest with ourselves, we’ll realize the difficult economy didn’t cause the problem. It merely exposed the problem. We were all living above our pay grade.

The Shoe Shine Glory
One of the amazing things about God is He teaches you in such unique ways and through the most unexpected teachers. My men’s Bible study learned this firsthand when we were joined about six months ago by a 68-year-old man name Ben.
Ben became a part of our group right after spending his prior three decades in federal prison. He was introduced to us by a Pastor in prison ministry who was concerned about Ben’s transition to the outside world and wanted our group of men to support him through the process. We embraced the challenge, looking forward to sharing our wisdom as Ben began his new life.

So many Christians believe Satan’s lie that they can’t share their faith at work. Many believing business owners and employees use this false assumption as an all-too-ready excuse for creating a wall between their church life and work life. Business owners will quickly cite fear of insulting clients and employees will share concerns about losing their job or impeding their ability to climb the ladder.
Although it’s starkly different in other areas of the world, few people in America ever lose business or jobs because of their faith. More often it’s because they are not a valued vendor or employee. In the rare case when someone is impacted negatively solely because of their Christian faith, we must ask ourselves if we believe more in God’s favor or the laws of economics.
