The other night after a business meeting, a friend who was a participant took me out the street to show me his new Ferrari. I don't know how much those things cost, but it looked very expensive. My friend is "doing well" in his business, and I am happy about that.
But as I looked at the car, I thought about alternate uses for the money that went into the car. Immediately a prayer lept to my consciousness. "Lord, I thank you that I am not like my friend."
Ooops. (See Luke 18:9-14)
As I read Steve's last email, I thought about how much it takes to feed that boy about whom he writes. Probably about what it costs me to park my car for an hour downtown here. I live in the same never-never land as my friend with the Ferrari.
Out of which land the Lord is continuing to call me. Sometimes I listen.

I heard Ravi Zacharias quip once about how "we" fret over a HMO vs. PPO when there are those without any healthcare options....
Crazy, isn't it?
