We found that many others were improving the quality of their life through these God inspired devotions. They are simply written and easy to understand, therefore easily applied to your life. If we allow God into our lives, He will help us with our Relationships. Living in God’s will for our lives gives us the Integrity to walk through life with our head held high. And last, but not least, we need to find the Truth. We must put in the work to find the Truth and stop accepting what the world tells us. We can use this G.R.I.T. FILTER to help us on the journey of changing the relationship we have with our lives. By asking four simple questions, we can avoid many of the “potholes” of life. Those four questions are: Have I invited God into my decision process? How will my decision affect my Relationships? What will my decision do to my Integrity? Have I done the research and found the Truth before I react? Living a life with G.R.I.T. will give you joy as you “Transform the relationship you have with your life.” If you believe you have a terrible life, it will be terrible. If you work to change your outlook and become grateful for what you have, every day becomes a blessing.

    First-Class Passengers on a Sinking Ship


    Book Description

    A history of why great powers decline, from Spain to the United States The extent and irreversibility of US decline is becoming ever more obvious as America loses war after war and as one industry after another loses its technological edge. Lachmann explains why the United States will not be able to sustain its global dominance, and contrasts America's relatively brief period of hegemony with the Netherlands' similarly short primacy and Britain's far longer era of leadership. Decline in all those cases was not inevitable and did not respond to global capitalist cycles. Rather, decline is the product of elites' success in grabbing control over resources and governmental powers. Not only are ordinary people harmed, but also capitalists become increasingly unable to coordinate their interests and adopt policies and make investments necessary to counter economic and geopolitical competitors elsewhere in the world. Conflicts among elites and challenges by non-elites determine the timing and mold the contours of decline. Lachmann traces the transformation of US politics from an era of elite consensus to present-day paralysis combined with neoliberal plunder, explains the paradox of an American military with an unprecedented technological edge unable to subdue even the weakest enemies, and the consequences of finance's cannibalization of the US economy.
