‘No Doom and Gloom’ campaign
[AL.com]
Is the recession a state of mind? Could consumers help local businesses stay alive just by thinking differently? Margie Smith thinks so. She’s handing out “No doom and gloom” stickers at Private Collection, the Spring Hill jewelry store she owns with her husband, Craig.
The slogan is Smith’s way of trying to get customers to spend instead of dwelling on bad news.
“I just got disgusted with people walking in and complaining about the economy,” she said. “We just wanted them to come in and feel happy.”
Private Collection initially gave out about 100 stickers. Now Smith has printed 400 more. Smith said she’s told employees to silence talk of the bad economy and to offer the stickers to customers instead. “We don’t allow that talk in this store,” she said.

Amen! Christians should be shouting this from the Hilltops! The sky is not falling! God is in control!
What do you think?

Thsi is a good feel-good story to read. I have talked to several brokers in the fellowship I pastor and sadly they told those who panicked the most were those who called themselves Christians. Sad, sad commentary of the state of the heart. I refuse to knuckle under nor even listen to the gloom and doom.
Let’s try that commentluv again.
