Hiatus

I haven't posted anything for a month. This is due to the fact that I've gone into hibernation. The month of February has been cloudy and my response is to shut down: mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritual, I just plod along. I am very excited that the sun is shining today, but I know that it will probably be gone by 1:30 this afternoon. I'm not being pessimistic, it's just how I survive.

I have been thinking about money. Part of the reason for this is that I'm looking into jobs, but the other reason is a class I'm taking called God and Mammon where we talk about theology and economics. I'm thinking of doing my final project/paper on the this question: If I can give you $1.00 today, or invest it and give you $100.00 in ten years, is it all right if I ignore your suffering? I really don't have a good answer to this. The only thing that I've thought of so far is to have different "times of giving." It would look like this: from 20-50 you make as much money as you can, tithe your 10%, but don't go beyond that. Then from 50-60 should be, for Christians, the "giving years" where you really support a lot of people, ministries and missions. Then 60-death are the years where you give if you can, but you make sure you have enough for raising medical expenses and healthcare costs. I don't know if I really like this idea, but it does have some merit. Maybe.
