Right now we are all faced with changes in our lives. We are currently not feeling the guarantee of a good, prosperous life with all that is being said about the current state of the economy. We are have different opinions on how we can "fix the world" and what we need to do with what we have left. Maybe it is finding new ways to save money, or 
entertain ourselves and our family. Before we all lavished in fancy trips to the theater, professional sporting events, weekend trips to another country. Maybe this is the time we slow down and focus on ourselves. Use this down time to better ourselves, read a book, catch up on current events, visit family, write a letter 
to a friend or family member we have not spoken to in months. Email will not always be able to reach out to everyone. There are so many tools that are available to us: The local library, free community events on making budgets, saving money, and how to be a better person. Now will be the time to turn your struggles to Christ and find your relationship with Him that you walked away from some time ago. Several churches are giving great messages today on how to live in troubled times, fear, and God's focus for us. A few are Clear Creek Community Church or Mars Hill Church to name a few starters. Messages can be downloaded to your Ipod, listened to online via a stream. Take them with you where ever you go and instead of a few favorite songs you have listened to a few hundred time take one time to listen to a few words of from God
in these messages. With that I will leave you this: Revelations 21:4 says "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away."
