The theology of how to get rich!

Dear Friends,

There is a lovely line in Andrew Kania's commentary today that suddenly filled me with a desire to be rich. He writes: "Power, wealth, and prestige, have the innate ability to delude people that somehow mortality travels slower on an expensive time piece." The great bane of my life at the moment is that I both have no money and I have no freakin' time. As I get older I keep wishing God could add another two, three or four hours into each day as there is never enough time to complete all the things I hunger to do. And it just keeps getting worse and worse. I'm certainly never bored — an affliction that I've experienced for brief periods in my life playing patience or solitaire to idle away the hours. That never happens these days.

It has often intrigued me that one "prison" all of us are chained in — no matter how rich we are, no matter how powerful we are, nor how poor we are — no one can buy more than the one thousand four hundred and forty minutes in each day. And we can't by less minutes either unless, I suppose if we sleep too much. The Pope only has 24 hours in each day, so does the President of the United States and Bill Gates or Rupert Murdoch. It's exactly the same allotment that is handed out to you and me.

Andrew's commentary today is not actually about time. It's about money. It might be thought of as an essay on The Theology of Money as told to us by Jesus. It's a rich essay. Enjoy it and pass it on to your kids and grandkids! <Click HERE to read Dr Kania's commentary>

Best wishes for a great day wherever you happen to be ... in life or in our world!
