07.17.2008

I was thinking about how I have spent a whole lot more money on certain items only to find out that they are just a little bit better than the cheaper alternatives.

Parable of the Talents

05.28.2008

Stewards are required to take risks: It is interesting to me how upset the master got with the steward who took no risks. The other two stewards did take risks and reaped the rewards. I often wonder why the parable didn’t contain a steward who lost some of the investment.

It was eye-opening for me to talk to someone who had a completely different mindset on money than I did.
