Tough lessons for tough times
January 2 2009 by Barry Howard, First Baptist Church, Pensacola, Fla.
A few months ago, a couple of the savvy business owners in our church indicated we were overdue a severe market correction. In other words, the bull would become a bear and probably persist as a fairly wimpy bear for a while.
