Ramsey Shines

I had FOX News while I was getting ready for work. The morning crew was in a heated discussion about the dramatic collapse of the global investment bank Lehman Brothers. They rolled tape of one the presidential candidates saying that this week was the single darkest economic period in America’s history while showing a group of people in a town hall meeting. To the person, they looked terrified. Then I hear the announcer say they were bringing in financial expert Dave Ramsey for his take on the situation. Grace has well over a hundred people taking the Ramsey Financial Peace seminar over several Sundays this fall so I was really curious how he would handle the pressure of live TV on such a hot button topic. He literally knocked it out of the park. You could tell the morning crew was not expecting to be impressed by this guy but they were.

Ramsey was poised, well prepared, funny, balanced and calming. He agreed these are turbulent times but asked viewers not to fall pry to overblown assessments of gloom that are not based on facts. He made sense. It was a thrill to see a brother in Christ represent His Lord to the nation in such a professional and helpful manner.
