Just imagine if he would have had to run an errand at WalMart that morning --- his head would have exploded!

A funny little snapshot of just trying to do the right thing and trying to align your $$$ with your beliefs.

Thanks for posting it, loved it.

2 favorite lines:
"I ran a hot iron quickly over the front of a previously worn shirt, saddened at the thought of the jolly staff at my local dry cleaner who will suffer because of my thrifty initiative and tolerance for rumpled, mildly aromatic haberdashery".....
"I thought about how lucky we are in this country to not have to wait five hours to see a doctor. Unless you're poor, in which case you might never see a doctor at all. I must give more money to poor, sick people. I must not use my secular humanism as an excuse for not tithing, especially while it's still deductible."

I know. I liked that last line, too. We all encounter these little conflicts in life many times a day.

Adding that, I do my best to be the best that I can be, and in other areas where weakness is present, that leaves me with room for improvement. I rest easy and sleep well.
