They refused to surrender to the trials or dark places.
At times worry would come, fear would come, doubt would come.
They stirred their faith back up and believed that the promise would happen.
Now do your part as they did—have faith in the middle.

Some interpret "globalization" to mean the global reach of communications technology and capital movements, some think of the outsourcing by domestic companies in rich countries, and others see globalization as a byword for...
