Due to personal circumstances many of us may be better off in the future, but in general I don't see how any of us can be better off. $7.00 per gallon for gas, food prices rising...etc. It's going to be very interesting in the future how we cope and adjust.

The times, they are a-changin'.

"I want to assist churches and to assist pastors in training pastors. But, after fourteen years of service in this capacity, I am absolutely certain that the finest theological seminary on earth is absolutely incompetent at replicating the actual life of a Gospel congregation. I want to train a generation of pastors who will train pastors, and I want to help them in that task." --- Dr. R. Albert Mohler, President of THE Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, KY
