Recently Zimbabwe's inflation rate hit 231 million percent. You think your 401K has shrunk? Had you been invested in Zimbabwe stock, a million dollars one day would be worth $1.58 the next. Ouch!
Philip Yancey (Christianity Today, January 2009) quotes a friend as saying that there are three main questions about money:
- How did you get it?
- What are you doing with it?
- What is it doing to you?
These are unusual times in which we live.We can become preoccupied with the daily woes from Wall Street, or our own woes - but then we lose our ability to be compassionate for those who are truly desperate.
