Dear KMT: Thank you for your wonderful comments-- it is always so refreshing to think you are seeing something wonderful and exciting and then have another facet of the precious stone submitted to you.. I would like to comment to you on this comment you made !!!! >>>I don't think many know what it is to be hungry (myself included). Most bills come from our love of money and material possessions which cause us to live beyond our means. <<<<<< It seems that my family is very healthy and blessed but I run a small business and pay over $500.00 per month in health insurance then with deductibles, and the 80/20 copay my total medical expenses are a troublesome percentage of my budget....I always have the income to keep the bills paid up but I ask myself--- what in the world do people do who are sick all the time. I agree we do not need wealth but the parable of the talents in the bible referred to approx 30,000 dollars of gold. Naturally, the same principle may refer to a talent to sing or teach or write ect. My point of view has always been to receive all the blessings that God would have me receive and not one extra. IMO there are three tiers of God's blessings. First he wants your soul to prosper, then your health, then to prosper generally ( job, friends, church, family, food, drink, a lot of the little things that make our life more livable ). Your soul prospering comes first with God... prayer, worship, fellowship, meditation, study, fasting, seeking, witness, reach the lost, the forgotten, the hungry. When either one of these areas become unbalanced in our lives it tends to throw other areas of our lives out of balance...that is why I declare total and complete incompetence to balance my own life--- for that I rely on the MASTER. Please bookmark us and be in much prayer for this thread-- we already are reaching people who need help-- and I would like to say your perspective has already enriched me and I look forward to more of your "living water".........in Christ gregor
