t w e n t y - f i v e c e n t s


1st let me say GO PHILLIES!!!

Gotta love this one!

2nd gas was 2.44 a gallon in good ole' NJ before I left for DC yesterday AM.

From the book of Proverbs chapter 24:

Know also that wisdom is sweet to your soul; if you find it, there is a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off.

I once read in Proverbs and James to pray for wisdom and understanding. To ask for wisdom from heaven and then as I continued to grow in spirit I would read more of God's word and I kept seeing God's instruction to pray for wisdom and to pray for understanding and I started to follow that instruction and the Lord considers wisdom to be far more valuable then gold and rubies so I pursue wisdom and understanding and I pray that God should see fit to bestow these things upon me.


As should you-


I was in Pentagon City mall yesterday doing what I do (work) and I was approaching an escalator going down as I observed a young 8th grader from Ohio ( my stores cater to field trip tourists and this young man was one of them) take a coin and roll it down the escalator to cause chaos and confusion to those riding the escalator to which it did....as the escalator carried me down I could see the coin at the bottom step getting pushed back and forth stuck at the end of it's ride. I was impressed to see that the coin was silver in color. Wow, I thought this young man tossed a nickel or dime and as I got closer I could see that it was much more then 10 cents! It was 25 cents....I was awestruck as my foot pushed the quarter out of the clutches of the escalator and pocketed it. What has become of us to throw money as if it were a stick?!

We, Americans are rich. The bible says the rich will have a hard time getting in heaven...Luke 3 says; "The man with two tunics should share with him who has none, and the one who has food should do the same." do me a favor, k? just don't throw your possessions down the escalator.
