"Supply Side Jesus"

Seeing as I work Sunday thru Wednesday mornings and into the afternoons, do most of the ordering, as well as gain & retain many customers, many people ask (and lots of the time assume) that I am the owner of the coffee shop. Quite often I think to myself that I should be. That the only thing that is keeping me from owning my own shop is capital. Then my mind ventures off into what I would do with riches were I given them. How my shop would be different. How my life would be different. How I could help people simply by giving all my money away. How I would do exactly what I want to do.

A line from a Psalm 49 (link to whole Psalm in title) stuck out to me one morning several weeks ago. I didn't remember it exactly, but this is what stuck and it certainly jives with the OT, NT & JC: don't focus your eyes on wealth or those who possess it.

Then I realize that I have "enough." I have more than enough, really. I don't go hungry. I sleep well. I have friends and family. I make much less money than most (in America) and much more than most (in the rest of the world). I certainly have enough. But yet, "Enough" is a word very rarely used anymore, by me or anyone else for that matter.

"Enough" about me... here's an intriguing parable from Al Franken.
