Spring is in the air . . . do you smell it? Feel it? See it? Well, just in case you haven’t noticed, the spring bulbs are poking up little green shoots, trees boast promising buds, and a few courageous bulbs and trees have already popped out blooms. I’m reminded of Psalm 1:3, which promises that...
This is a strange time to write about the stock market and the economy. The only story in the world that matters right now is a medical crisis with life and death ramifications. But, I’m not qualified to talk about the Coronavirus in any way, except for the implications to the stock market and...
