This morning I read about the following store closings in an
article lamenting our lack of real economic growth.
- Staples - 225 stores by 2015
- Radio Shack - 1,100 stores
- Albertsons - 26 stores

- J.C. Penney - 33 stores
- Toys R Us – 100 stores.
- Sweetbay Supermarket – 17 stores
- Loehmann’s - shut down
- Sears / Kmart - 500 stores

I was reminded:
- God is not dependent upon the US economy.
- God is not surprised by any of this.
- God still meets our NEEDS just as he has always has.
- There is not a sparrow that falls that God does not notice.
- God still loves each of us more than we could imagine.
