Your 401K may have been bouncing like a basketball, up one day and down the next. Perhaps you have read or heard the following humorous report: Today’s Stock Market Report:
Helium was up, feathers were down.
Paper was stationary.
Fluorescent tubing was dimmed in light trading.
Knives were up sharply.
Cows steered into a bull market.
Pencils lost a few points.
Hiking equipment was trailing.
Elevators rose, while escalators continued their slow decline.
Weights were up in heavy trading.
Light switches were off.
Mining equipment hit rock bottom.
Diapers remained unchanged.
Shipping lines stayed at an even keel.
The market for raisins dried up.
Coca Cola fizzled.
Caterpillar stock inched up a bit.
Balloon prices were inflated.
Scott Tissue touched a new bottom.
And batteries exploded in an attempt to recharge the market.
While market fluctuations may affect your life, aren’t you glad that they are not your life? Your life is bound up not in Wall Street but in Jesus Christ, not in money but in the Master, not in this world, but in the world to come.
Yours in Christ,
Bro. Bill
