Good News?

Michael Barone does a fine job illustrating the facts about the economic news of the world, and the relative peace of the world. Despite media reports with selective focus, there IS excellent economic and peace news today. From a macro view on those fronts, we live in good times. Some of the best times ever, in fact.

Mr. Barone does not address our spiritual condition, however. This is harder to measure. Some say Christianity is advancing at a fast pace nearly everywhere (and some add, "except for the US"). What say you?
