But ultimately, before my head gets too big ;), I want to say that honestly, every one of these posts comes only by diving inspiration of God's spirit. Sometimes I reread a post and think- man, I don't even remember writing that part- but it was totally written to convict me....Debra Filetahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07853049897352960188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-773770004863385710.post-58637163732296483382010-04-03T10:28:42.851-04:002010-04-03T10:28:42.851-04:00Eric, thanks you for your wisdom!

I do believe that God encourages us to be wise....otherwise, I wouldn't have a savings account :) But ultimately, I would have to say that I assume most American Christians dabble on the side of greed rather than wisdom...I myself can be that can of Christian at times. <br /><Debra Filetahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07853049897352960188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-773770004863385710.post-21427445978317308282010-04-02T23:06:47.280-04:002010-04-02T23:06:47.280-04:00Danette gave me a link to your blog and since then...Danette gave me a link to your blog and since then I have looked forward to every post from you!

I do think that a great many people do strive after riches that will ultimately pass away. However, I don't think the solution is to exalt poverty either.<br /><br />Bricks are tools and are amoral.
