Money and Values

It's
Stewardship time at church. Lots of talk about money and values.
During
kids' time, the pastor was telling a story of carrying a bunch of things in his
hands and looking down and seeing a dime on the sidewalk. He stopped and
thought about how he could reach down and get it. Could he stretch and not drop
something he was carrying? Or should he set some of the items down and then get
the dime?
He
decided to go on and leave the dime. He was just about to explain why he made
this decision when a young man shouted out: "What street were you
on?"

UPDATE (5/31/13) – It was quite an eye-popping
discovery that on the day I posted this blog, it got 107 hits within minutes
practically. This was very dramatic
since I normally only get about 5 to 7 hits on the first day of posting. I have to
conclude that the huge interest here was mainly due to the title, and especially the
word “Money” there. Strangely,
the visits have dropped drastically down to one or two hits a day from the
second day onward. I can only attribute
this turn of events to human nature (the greed factor) unfortunately. Ironically, the posting's message has thus been further
justified or validated!
