This morning's message was born from listening to the news and seeing the people who have, as a result of the goings on in the world, seen a new business opportunity, seized upon it and started a new venture.  It's the old saying "Necessity is the mother of invention."

More importantly, these people were tuned in to the world around them and the opportunities to turn a bad situation into a good one.  It is a mindset which can be developed.  When things go bad, we need to, rather than wallowing in the mud, turn the mud into something worthwhile.

Great opportunities don't come from a salesman coming to our door promising riches for buying and using his product.  They come from being observant while not being timid and afraid to act.  Seek out your own personal opportunity and live your life to its fullest.
