Just me trying to be honest with God.

“The trouble with being poor is that it takes up all your time.” Willem de Kooning

“The LORD makes poor and makes rich; he brings low and he exalts.” 1Sa.2

The poor can be more preoccupied with money than the rich. Those that have are often less worried about losing their money than those who have not are about getting it. This may be false security on the part of the wealthy but ditto that for the poor. If we have food and clothing the Good Book says that we should be content and equally believe whether poor or rich that God is the one who takes care of us. It is one thing for me to be frugal with the money entrusted me and another to be preoccupied with it. 11/10/11 Conversations Within ts (Fernandina Beach, Fl)
