God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8

I Hope Our Economy DOES Fall Apart!
Maybe I shouldn't say I want our economy to fall apart... But I will say I don't think it'd be a bad thing. We live in such a self-sufficient culture. If we experienced another "great depression," sure, it'd be tough but we'd learn to deal with it. And a lot of values could be learned through it. Perhaps people would realize they can't rely on themselves or on money and more people would, for the first time, look to God. With riches comes self-sufficiency. Self-sufficiency is pride. And pride keeps people from turning to Christ. I believe we all need to be humbled a little more than we are.... to rely on God more than we do. When our main source of comfort is taken away, where will we look? My prayer is we'd look to God. I know all of us, Christians and non, need to learn to rely on Him. Because He's where life is found. Perhaps we all could use a wake up call...

I have tagged you, check out my blog.
This is what I get for waiting a month to follow up on a meme... Apparently I tagged you, too, but for the same meme as Jen did. :-) Guess you get the option of doing it twice? j/k. I'm too lazy to go back and think of who else to tag, so anyway... have fun!
You've got an excellent point!
