Looking Up

Good morning,

It always amazes me when we witness natural disasters and someone spouts off that it is God's way of punishing an entire community for their beliefs.  The fact that they actually believe such things blows my mind.  Today's feature article is along similar lines.

Our prayers are with the people of Haiti.  And I thank God for all of the rich people that feel called to send aid.  Compared to the people of Haiti, most of us are financially "rich".

take care,

Skye Thomas

Quote of the Week:

You can understand and relate to most people better if you look at them -- no matter how old or impressive they may be -- as if they are children. For most of us never really grow up or mature all that much -- we simply grow taller. O, to be sure, we laugh less and play less and wear uncomfortable disguises like adults, but beneath the costume is the child we always are, whose needs are simple, whose daily life is still best described by fairy tales. - Leo Rosten

Money is neither my god nor my devil.  It is a form of energy that tends to make us more of who we already are, whether it's greedy or loving. - Dan Millman

Like its politicians and its war, society has the teenagers it deserves. - Joseph Priestley

Feature Article of the Week:

God Don't Like Rich People

I will never forget the day that my daughter's sixth grade friend told me that.  We had been discussing someone who had recently lost a fortune and had become very bitter as a result.  She suddenly piped up with that all knowing scowl that only a twelve-year old girl can truly master while proclaiming, "God don't like rich people!"  She said it as if it was a mortal sin worthy of an eternity in hell.  She immediately made a snap decision from that point forward to dislike the person we had been talking about.  I have met her dad.  He is a nice enough guy and from what I can tell, he agrees with his daughter.  They are very regular attendees at their church.  I don't know what church they go to, but all I could think to myself at the time was, "Who in the world is teaching her that!?"  

For my daughter's sake, I bit my tongue.  I wanted so badly to quiz her friend and find out the roots of that belief system.  How does one logically come to that conclusion?  I was under the impression that God was known to shower you with riches if he liked you.  Solomon was extremely rich and God liked him.  I thought that God's opinion of us had more to do with our character, not our bank account.  I could even see that how you amassed your fortune could be important in God's viewpoint.  I think about Job and how he was tested to see if money was the reason for his devotion to God.  Upon passing the test, didn't God dump piles of money back into his lap again?  And what about the father in the prodigal son story?  He had money and God liked him.  

Just as ridiculous to me are the people who spin it the other way around, as if "God don't like poor people."  They act like they are closer to God because they have money.  Funny thing money, it can buy a lot of things, but I was under the impression that God was not for sale.  Rumor has it that some churches and individual clergy can be bought, but not God Himself.  Nowhere in the bible did I ever read that you could bypass the rules and just pay an entrance fee to get into heaven's gates.  

I thought that money was a tool sometimes used for testing us.  Do we remain spiritual while humbled and poor or do we become bitter and turn our back on God?  Do we remain spiritual while spoiled and rich or do we become self-righteous and turn our back on God?  And what about the way we treat each other?  Does the amount of money we have dictate how much love we are to receive from each other?  "Congratulations on that job promotion you worked so hard for, buddy!  But hey, you're too rich now, so me and God aren't going to hang out with you anymore."

What a silly concept that money would have anything to do with one's spiritual self-worth.  I am sorry for those children who have been raised to believe that the amount of money they do or do not have dictates whether or not God will like them.  Personally, I have raised my kids on the idea that you behave yourself as best you can, and I do mean 'best.'  Heed your spiritual calling.  Love one another.  Everything else will fall into place as it's meant to be.  Oh, and be thankful for what you have.  God don't like people with bad manners.
