A Moment With Mike 

As we look back on 2008 we've had some good times and some bad times.  For many of us the bad times have come in the form of financial challenges. The economy has caused the reduction of work hours or the complete loss of our jobs. Our savings that we put away for a rainy day and/or our retirement has been hit hard and we're wondering what the future holds.

With all the unrest I've got some good news.  God is alive and well and able to meet any need or demand that you and I have in our life.  It's in times like these when we need to remember how much we've been blessed in our lives and that our God will not fail us now.

I want to encourage you to stay close to our Lord by worshipping Him, studying His Word and talking to Him.  Our Lord wants the best for us.  He always has a listening ear, an outstretched hand and good advice to give us.  Don't try to go it alone, it doesn't work.  We need our Lord's presence and encouraging family and friends around us. 

May God bless each of us in 2009
Mike
