It started when I woke up in the middle of the night, after one of those dreams that you just can't seem to forget and just can't quite shake the feeling you get from it for the rest of the day.

Then there was all the chaos on Wall Street. All I could do is sit and watch the market tank once again and watch my money (figuratively) fly out the window.

Today is the one year mark of the highest dow average ever...14,000 points plus. Today it was the lowest in five years...8000 points plus.

I'm not the only one. Many I've talked to are losing big bucks too.

Talked to a lady today in my swim class that has lost at least $28,000. That's before this latest episode in the last couple of weeks.

When my statement comes in the mail this month, I plan on putting it away, unopened.

Then, about an hour ago, it dawned on me. All things around us are so unstable, and the one constant in this world of ours is Jesus.

He is the same as He was yesterday and He will be the same in the future.

Being human, it's hard to keep that concept in the forefront in these trying times, but it's something worth remembering!

I am holding a printout of the history of the bear markets, and I know that sometime in the future the market will rebound and all will be sunshine and lollipops once again.

Until that time, I will have to remember that there is One who knows the future and is only a prayer away.
