With so much uncertainty in our country today, many Americans are fearful, and understandably so. They’re worried about lockdowns, higher taxes, a weak economy, and rising inflation. So many Americans
are already living paycheck to paycheck, and they’re concerned about the future.
With the extensive economic trifecta and rising unemployment, did quarantines and lockdowns help or hurt the livelihoods of millions of Americans? Is there an end in sight? Many of us look to the recent past to try to see hope for the future.
The past four years saw amazing growth in the stock markets, fattening the 401(k) and retirement accounts of millions of Americans. Those investors are now afraid that their retirement savings will suffer, and many are despondent that changes in National and local government could have hurt their ability to keep their life’s savings secure.
in this life, we have to place our trust in God that he will provide for us.
That doesn’t mean we don’t have to act responsibly for ourselves, however. There’s the old joke about the man living in a flood zone who rejects help from a jeep, a boat, and a helicopter because he places all his trust and faith in God. He gets overwhelmed by the floodwaters, and when he reaches heaven he asks God why He didn’t help him. God replies, “I sent you a jeep, a boat, and a helicopter, what more could I have done for you?”
We need to protect what God has been good enough to give us and to protect the families whom he has entrusted to our care. That’s why guns are so important not just to me, but to millions of Americans. It’s our responsibility to protect ourselves and our families against those who would rob or harm us. And as the history of the 20th century reminds us, when civilian ownership is sharply restricted or eliminated, the results can be catastrophic.
“But as the psalmist says,
WILL WE RETURN TO NORMAL, OR
Put not your trust in princes, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.”
(Ps. 146:3)
The Bible reminds us that there’s a higher power in whom we are to place our trust. And that’s why I place my trust in God, guns, and gold.
My wife, Gena, and I are devoted Christians, but we respect all people of good faith regardless of their religion. And all religions have at their core the understanding that our life on earth isn’t the end all and be all of our existence. No matter what we may suffer
ARE WE SEEING THE NEW NORMAL?
To say that 2020 was a wild ride is an understatement. Millions of Americans are tired of having to live in fear of COVID, they’re tired of the constant threat of lockdowns and they’re ready to return to normal. But with an economy that crashed over 30% in the second quarter of 2020 and that still hasn’t returned to pre-COVID output levels, is it even possible to return to normal? Or are we seeing a new normal, an economy that will be increasingly dependent on the government to continue functioning? In many ways the economy never returned to normal after the 2008 crisis. With the Federal Reserve’s massive amounts of quantitative easing and bloated balance sheet, there was a lot of talk about “normalizing” the Fed’s balance sheet, but not a lot of
