I woke up this morning with a pit in my stomach. School is starting and I had a dream that I couldn’t find all the forms I needed to turn in for registration. It’s the grown up take on a childhood nightmare. You are late. You missed the test. You failed. Oh how we run

Okay…I hear you!
I think God may be trying to tell me something. I saw this today and I thought, “Yes…yes indeed, my kids are materialistic and I really hope they can think of God more…blah, blah, blah…” The verse actually reads (NIV): “Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to
