Ten days ago Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said, “We also recognize that the economic outlook remains unusually uncertain.”
Unusually uncertain…that’s not an assessment that leaves me feeling overly safe.
How about you?
After all the recent uncertainty and church budget challenges, it’s easy to imagine a monster around every corner.
That’s why Seth Godin’s recent advice was so appreciated. There’s a lot of wisdom here:
Every monster has a big shadow…That’s what makes it a monster.
In fact, when you look the monster in the eye, when you calmly and carefully inspect the actual monster, you discover that he’s not so bad after all. It’s just the shadow that’s scary.
When in doubt, ignore the shadow.
Have you been imagining monsters recently?
Let not your heart be troubled neither let it be afraid. John 14:27
Funny! I like that a lot. Dumb shadows.
