It seems that a great deal of this thread shows just how the world works. People get upset over money, things, etc. Please don't take that as a criticism as I am right there too. When my Daddy died he left me with about $80,000.00 worth of medical bills to try to figure out how to get paid.I gave him my word that I would make sure the bills were paid off. Back in my Daddy's wild days, he had a son with another woman. This son has fathered 8 kids of his own with 5 different women, been to prison 3 times and is hooked on meth. He called me up after the funeral demanding his part of his inheritance! I told him he was welcome to his part of getting Daddy's bills paid ... the inheritance was the bills! He told me if I didn't get him some money he would break into my home and steal everything. It's not too Christ-like, but I told him to bring it because I had a 12 gauge with his name on it and that I would blow him straight to___________ without blinking an eye. Real loving of me, huh!?!
Point being if we could or maybe would conciously put others before ourselves the world would be different. If we were willing to be "Jesus with skin on" I wonder what it would be like ? Now before anybody jumps on me ... I don't mean somebody like my half-bro. who only wanted his drug money. He doesn't even have his kids( thank goodness they don't even know him) !
