I once read an article about the way Americans worry about what might happen more than what has happened. For example, someone could spend their entire day worried about the possibility of getting cancer which would effect everything they do, not to mention adding stress. However, if that same person ends up with cancer, they handle the fact that they have cancer better than the idea that they might get it. As a result, they enjoy life the best they can and seem to be happier.
I wonder if it is the same with our perception of the economy. We fear what might happen more than if it actually happened.
Theology at 40,000 feet
Most of my life, I have worked through theology from the ground up. I've also moved from issue to issue and attempted to put together a picture of God with limited sight distance. When it comes to my personal theology, I've not done enough flying at 40,000 feet to see where the issues are in relation to one another. Like a painting, I've needed to step back and see a fuller picture to better understand the story.
This is true for life in general, but when flying at 40,000 feet, my life in general is seen through the window of my theology.
