“He comes to us in the brokenness of our health, in the shipwreck of our family lives, in the loss of all possible peace of mind, even in the very thick of our sins. He saves us in our disasters, not from them. He emphatically does not promise to meet only the odd winner of the self-improvement lottery. He meets us all in our endless and inescapable losing.” MindDoeSelfLossSinPromiseLosingSelf ImprovementImprovementDisasterEndlessWinnerOddOur FamilyPeace Of MindThickFamily LifeBrokennessLotteryShipwreck Book:The Astonished Heart: Reclaiming the Good News from the Lost-and-found of Church History Source: The Astonished Heart: Reclaiming the Good News from the Lost-and-found of Church History
“The promise of American capitalism is that it makes people richer, freer and more independent. But since the introduction of Fed, the currency in which Americans keep score has so addled the figures, we scarcely know if we are winning or losing.

They do not create jobs. They do not make people wealthier. They do not grow economies. They do not make sure everybody has health care.

There's a reason they're losing elections.” PeopleThinkingHeartReasonCareEconomyPolicyPromiseLosingElectionDemocratHealth Care Author:Rush Limbaugh

They're trying to figure out how to pay their medical bills. They've seen retirements suddenly dissipate because of what's happening in the stock market. And so as tough as the job might be, and the politics of Washington can sometimes be I'm always reminded of how fortunate I am to be here, and what an extraordinary responsibility I have to try to deliver on some of the promises that I made during the election.” ThinkingTryingSometimesPresidentResponsibilityPromiseLosingToughElectionExtraordinaryMedicalCompareRetirement Author:Barack Obama
