Today I’m thinking about swimming and how refreshing it is to jump in or dive into the deep water. You are submerged and you become lighter. A great book in the Bible about diving into Jesus, is the book of Colossians. In the 2nd chapter of Philippians verse 5 it says, “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ,” that is kind of like jumping in the deep end of the water.

Colossians tells us in the 2nd chapter verse 10, “And you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.” We are submerged in Christ and we are complete in Christ. Colossians 3:1-3 is what I mean when I say that we ought to be submerged in Christ. «Read the rest of this article»

Market Commentary by Scott J. Brown, Ph.D., Chief Economist

Scott J. Brown Ph.D., Chief Economist Raymond James Investment Services

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) left the target range for federal funds unchanged (at from 0% to 0.25%) and repeated that economic conditions are likely to warrant exceptionally low rates “for an extended period.” The FOMC noted that “the economic recovery is proceeding and that the labor market is improving gradually,” but cautioned that “financial conditions have become less supportive of economic growth on balance, largely reflecting developments abroad.” The FOMC also acknowledged that “underlying inflation has trended lower.”.

The People’s Bank of China said that it would allow greater flexibility in its currency, but cautioned that reform would be “gradual.” Home sales figures were weaker than expected in May, even taking into account the impact of the expiration of the homebuyer tax credit on April 30. Durable goods orders were mixed. The estimate of first quarter 2010 gross domestic product (GDP) growth was revised lower (to 2.7%, compared to +3.2% in the advance estimate and +3.0% in the 2nd estimate). «Read the rest of this article»
