It's a new world that we live in and it might take some getting used to. The age that I have grown up in took a lot of things for granted. Like...
- Prosperity
- Unlimited lines of credit
- American dominance in the world
- That when the market goes down, it must go back up

Than Jesus' blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus' name.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
All other ground is
