so i had this thought the other day as i was walking back to the office from a local coffee shop. the coffee shop has no relevance, but the walk did. i saw this woman sitting outside on the curb. she was either poor, or pretending to be. either way it directed my thoughts to why is it fair that some people have money and others don't. and then i thought about how barbaric (i don't know if that's the right word) money is. people will do anything to get it. and the sad thing is, one can't have enough of it.
i let my mind run away with it and also my fingers on the keyboard and googled "life without money" and read some really interesting arguments for both sides. so then it made me think about how money rules the world. it always has. it's the anti-christ in so many ways. jesus was a poor man. "foxes have holes and birds of nests" and jesus was homeless. he lived in a way that showed the power of god's provision in our lives. so does god provide money? is money bad? is it good? should we rid of money in the world? am i a communist?
