It is so well written and a real blessing. When I was out shopping today, I found a penny on the sidewalk. I stopped and picked it up, and realized that I had been worrying and fretting in my mind about things I cannot change.

Penny Parable: The Rich Man Who Picks Up A Penny

Yes, God, I get the message. It seems that I have been finding an inordinate number of pennies in the last few months, but then, pennies are plentiful! And, God is patient. Others have a miserable, cry me a river marriage that really stinks.

The rest, fit not-so-neatly in-between. Life inside the box means Written By Susan Diamond, Publisher of Prayables, an online spiritual community for people of all faiths. Is There a Future for Religion? If I hear one more self-righteous matron bitch and moan about the religious morals of young people Today we talked about buying a scrabble app for her computer. Ninety- two years old and my mother is going to play scrabble on her Mac! We all become money managers. Money has to be moved, invested, insured, split, taxed, counted, accounted, strategized, pre-paid, banked, borrowed, leveraged, loaned, most of all, increased.

We are like the money manager, moving money that is ultimately not ours, with the illusion of control. Money and the lack of money takes us space in our heads, in our calendars, in our hearts.

In God We Trust

You know the anxiety of wondering if you can afford to repair the church building. You know how much space in our minds money occupies. You know that as a nation we act like there is no such thing as enough. As Americans, this is one of our particular spiritual ailments. Are you still holding onto that bill? Did you start making a list of the bills you still need to pay or the things you need to buy?

And when we are thinking of money that demands such attention and commands such fidelity, we are not thinking of God. In God we may proclaim trust, but in our money we invest.

Our money did not always proclaim our fidelity. Our national motto was almost something different entirely on that dollar bill you hold. The first letter came from Rev. This would place us openly under the Divine protection we have personally claimed. From my hearth I have felt our national shame in disowning God as not the least of our present national disasters. No nation can be strong except in the strength of God, or safe except in His defense. The trust of our people in God should be declared on our national coins.

And that we would do so on our money simply points to the endless complexity of our complex relationship with God and money. We now live with the income inequality between the rich and the poor at the widest point since ,. After all the complex maneuvering by the money manager, we get the line in verse 8. Yes, it may be self-serving, but the money manager is lessening the debts of the people. Scripture is pretty consistent; releasing people from debt is a good and holy thing.

And for all of the complexity in understanding this parable, this much is clear: Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. Proclaim release to the captive, proclaim the year of jubilee. You cannot serve God and Wealth. Even as we grip those dollar bills in our hands tighter and tighter as our own anxiety grows and grows, the economy of God upends all of our of our presumptions.
