Daily Devotional from Brother Shepherd
The other morning I’m driving on 41A South through the Sango area. Many of the leaves have fallen from the trees already. This reminds me that summer has passed and winter is coming upon us. A lot of times it can depress us when we think about a cold, dreary winter, but as I look at the barren trees my mind races forward to the spring and I look through winter knowing that spring will be coming.
Winter in itself can be beautiful especially when we realize that it will only last for a season. Let us look through the storms of life and see the spring that lies ahead of us when we’re trusting in God. There is scripture found in Proverbs 3:5&6 which reads, “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” KJV
This is Brother Shep asking you to think about this.

The Federal Open Market Committee announced plans to further expand its holdings of securities. The FOMC expects to purchase a further $600 billion in long-term Treasuries by the end of Q211 ($75 billion per month) and will maintain its existing policy of reinvesting principal payments from its mortgage holdings into long-term Treasuries (about $35 billion per month). The FOMC indicated that it “will regularly review the pace of its securities purchases and the overall size of the asset-purchase program in light of incoming information and will adjust the program as needed to best foster maximum employment and price stability.” In its economic assessment, the FOMC said that “currently, the unemployment rate is elevated, and measures of underlying inflation are somewhat low, relative to levels that the Committee judges to be consistent, over the longer run, with its dual mandate.” The FOMC “anticipates a gradual return to higher levels of resource utilization in a context of price stability,” but added that “progress toward its objectives has been disappointingly slow.” The stock market seemed unsure of how to react to the Fed’s announcement, but rallied strongly the next day.

Gateway Chamber Ensemble Concert to Feature Renowned Flutist William Bennett
Clarksville, TN – Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach’s Flute concerto in D minor is a dazzlingly complex and powerful piece of music. The work is not often performed because of the challenges it presents potential players. So when Clarksville’s Gateway Chamber Ensemble decided to include the piece on the program for its second concert of the season, it enlisted the renowned British flutist William Bennett to accompany them.
“He is probably the greatest living flute player and teacher,” Dr. Gregory Wolynec, APSU associate professor of music and director of the ensemble, said. “He’s going to be here for 10 days as part of the Acuff Residency, and he volunteered his services to do the spectacular concerto by C.P.E. Bach, who may be the most famous of Johann Sebastian Bach’s children.”

Real GDP rose at a 2.0% annual rate in the advance estimate for Q310 (vs. +1.7% for Q210 and +3.7% for Q110) – matching the median forecast. Real consumer spending rose at a 2.6% annual rate (vs. +2.2% in Q210). Business fixed investment rose 9.7% (vs. 17.2%). A faster pace of inventory accumulation (perhaps unintended) added 1.4 percentage points to overall growth. Another increase in imports (a sign of strength in domestic demand) subtracted 2.6 percentage points from GDP, while an increase in exports added 0.6 percentage points. Domestic Final Sales (GDP less net exports and the change in inventories), the best measure of underlying domestic demand, rose at a 2.5% annual rate, down from a strong 4.3% pace reported for Q210.
The markets were buffeted by earnings reports and by shifting expectations of the Fed’s asset purchases. The consensus is that the Fed will purchase smaller amounts ($250 billion to $500 billion) of long-term Treasuries over shorter time horizons, rather than the “shock and awe” of large-scale purchases (a level of $1 trillion had been floated earlier). Market participants began to look to next week with some level of uncertainty. [Read more]
