Sunday Thought: $8B Spent on Friday

Posted on 11/26/2006 00:00 AM | Link | Post Comment
Think of that amount of money flying through cash registers (or worse still onto credit cards) all over the States. This number staggered me, was all this money spent on things that were needed or things that were wanted? Think about that number, it's staggering. How is it possible that we have a society that can squander (ok, a little dramatic, but certainly waste) $8B on a holiday that is to commemorate Christ's birth (don't get all P.C. on me it's Christmas, all right).

What would Christ think? That's a darn good question. Ask yourself that question, and see if you can figure out an answer for that one, because I can't right now. Yes, I know I am going to blow a lot of money on Christmas, but I am going to try to at least give some moneys to charity. Who can you give to, instead of buying a new MP3 player? My parents used to give to the Brewery Mission in Montreal, I never asked why, but they did. I give to charities that mean something to me, but you should give to charities that "speak" to you.

What would Jesus do, if he had $8 Billion? Darn good question. --C8j
