On a cheerful note I am rereading a book titled "Its Getting Better All
The Time: 100 Greatest Trends Of The Last 100 Years, by Stephen Moore and
Julian Simon. Here are a couple of comments from the blurbs:

"A refreshing breath of optimism and sanity amidst all the gloom and doom."__John Stossel
ABC News

"This book is so chock full of good news that it's virtually guaranteed to cheer up even the clinically
depressed. Moore and Simon dismantle the doomsday pessimism that's still so commonplace in
academia and the media. The evidence they present is irrefutable: Give people freedom and free
enterprise and the potential for human progress is seemingly limitless."__Lawrence Kudlow, Chief
Economist, CNBC

I thank God for His blessings on America. God has blessed America
with an $18 trillion dollar annual economy. And a huge swath of America
does in fact use their wealth to advance the kingdom of God throughout
the world.


America has over 1300 mega-churches each with a weekly attendance of over
2000, and the mega-churches are growing daily throughout America.

The American Christian Church $$$$ funds the huge enormous missionary
work all over the world. America is being used by God to do His Great Commission
work worldwide. New Christian Churches are being established every month, here
in America and all over the world.

We humbly thank God for the mighty supernatural power of the Holy Spirit that
changes hearts and minds all over the world each and every day --- through
the mighty saving power of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
 
I am reading another book that is cheerful and uplifting
to the human sprit. The title is Abundance : The Future Is
Better Than You Think by Peter H. Diamandis and Steven
Kotler.
Here are a few quotes from the blurbs on the back cover:

"This brilliant must-read book provides the key to the
coming era of abundance replacing eons of scarcity.
Abundance is a powerful antidote to today's malaise
and pessimism."___Ray Kurzweil

"This is an audacious and powerful read! Abundance shows
us how today's philanthropists, innovators, and passionate
entrepreneurs are more empowered than ever before to solve
humanity's grand challenges."___ Jeff Skoll

"Our world faces multiple crises and is awash in pessimism.
Abundance redirects the conversation. spotlighting scientific
innovators working to improve people's lives. The result is
more than a portrait of brilliant minds -- it's a reminder of the
infinite possibilities for doing good when we tap into our own
empathy and wisdom."___ Arianna Huffington

One more quote from the inside cover:

"Since the dawn of humanity, a privileged few have lived
in stark contrast to the hardscrabble majority. Conventional
wisdom says this gap cannot be closed. But it is closing -- fast."

JAG Note: Abundance: The Future Is Better Than You Think has
386 pages and is a gripping read especially if you love people
and have an interest in the future and have a continual prayer
in your heart to God that He will increasingly bless and provide
for His people all over this world that He has created.

I personally have a keen interest in the future and in helping
organizations that are helping people. Not only does my wife
and I support our local Baptist Church with our tithes and
offerings, but we also support Compassion International by
sponsoring a child in one of the Third World countries. In
addition to that we help support Samaritan's Purse which
has as it's motto "Helping In Jesus Name.

God has blessed America with an $18 trillion dollar annual
economy, and I thank God for that. It has been said that
"There is no limit to what God will do for the man that will
use what God has given him to help others."
"Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed
down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into
your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured
to you." Luke 6:38

You cannot out give God.
