$1.26 of every $1.00

As part of the morning session, we were shown a short video. It pointed out that for every dollar we Americans earn, we spend $1.26. Jesus said, “You cannot serve two masters. You will hate one and love the other… You cannot serve God and money.” [This is not a new trend.]Then, Bill Gaither (The Gaither Vocal Band sang several songs for us this AM. Not bad!) told about how he and his wife Gloria still live in the house they started in as school teachers, before they started writing music. He said that “through the joy of giving, you find the joy of living.” Money is a starting place. Your time is another.

  1. Tom,

    A friend told me that the US borrows $300 million each day to fund our society, so I can believe that we spend $1.26 per $1.00 earned. Sad.
