are you rich?

I oversee the international missions stuff here at our church and have had the chance to get out a few places in the world. One of the lasting effects on me is how much I/we have in comparison to folks around the world (and oftentimes how much happier they seem to be without all this stuff). It's one of the many reasons I think everybody should get out and see what God is doing around the world. It gives us better perspective on our situation.

This site tells you where you rank in terms of how much money you make compared to others around the world. It's so easy for us to want what our neighbors have and lose sight of how much we've been blessed with just by being in this country.

I feel as though you ask me this question daily for the last month as I check your blog...

You know my feelings on this... the blog cannot own you... don't submit to the masses... but please... offer me something...

Sincerly...

I've done some research and found that being rich makes people crazy. I mean the richest man in the world decided to quit his job, and the second richest man decided to give half his money to the dude that is now unemployeed.

Just to note, if there is someone else looking to unload billions of dollars, I will quit my job if that will make you give it to me.

Jason and Jeff, if this pans out, I will buy you a building, or two, downtown.

Did I just see a tumbleweed blow through here? It's sad to see another blog fall into disrepair.
