More making a difference

Got a great comment after a post from John out in Yorkville. Following a message one week, John committed to give away half of his tax refund , and is challenging others to do the same. I LOVE the idea! I wish I had the financial position to join up, but I will be honest, a lot of medical bills need attention. But I will be marking down John's email and blog, and I really want to take part in this next year. Check out John's idea at halfyourrebate.blogspot.com.
(edit: John's idea is based on the recently approved rebates coming to stimulate the economy, not your standard yearly 1040 refund. Just an FYI, and thanks for the correction, John).

Last night, before hitting the pillow, I played a little Bible roulette. After a couple fig references, I hit upon the end of 1Timothy 6:17 "Command those who are rich in this present world not... to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment." I like the sound of that. And I can tell you that money is so uncertain. Just like jobs.

(You may notice the "..." in that verse. For the record, I pulled out the words "to be arrogant nor". Important, but those four words didn't hit me as much as the words in the verse you read above.)

And my budget??? Umm....I think I hear my mom calling me. Can't talk now - gotta get home.
