THE UPSIDE OF SMALL: The hidden benefits of micro-ministry. (It took an economics book to wake me up to this reality in the mid-70's -- Small Is Beautiful: Economics As If People Mattered by E. F. Schumacher is still a must read.) ~ Leadership

PHOENIX COULD BE the next boom town, according to an article in Forbes magazine. But I have my doubts. Phoenix has a pretty dismal and short-sighted attitude right now.

The only thing that we're for seems to be guns. You can't build a whole economy on guns.
