On Tuesday, Channel 4 news did a story on a child who has made a phenominal impact on my life. His name was J. Myles Beckley. He passed away at the age of five about a year and a half ago in a tragic accident. I will never forget the phone call that I received from his father informing me of his death.
You can read more about him here. And you can check out the story Channel 4 did on him here.
As we all know, Michigan has been drastically impacted by the economy. Organizations, businesses, churches, and all.
Businesses have been closing down. Every day, a great day of people are experiencing lay offs. Retirement funds have been touched. And pay cuts have been implemented. It is a rough economy!
However, iphones, wiis, and gigantic flat screen tvs are being purchased in this economy. People still have cable tv. Vacations are still be taken. People are even still hitting up Starbucks several times a week.
I am a firm believer that you cannot always blame the economy for the lack of revenue in a business. You cannot always blame the economy for the lack of customers. You cannot always blame the economy for people leaving a particular organization or even church.
It just might be time to search within. One should always re-evaluate what their services offer or how they are running things. We need to just get smart with how we operate.
Is it relevant? Is it what the community wants? Is it in line with God's will? Or is it man's will that is taking over?
