I at times get nauseated when I think of all the money some individuals have. Take Mr. Bill Gates for example. The last time I heard he had amassed over $50 billion dollars. Why would anyone need so much money? It just doesn't make much sense to have a huge house with more rooms in it than he could possibly manage. And to top it off, when he dies he won't take one penny of it with him. Why that means that $500 million dollars to him would be like 1 penny out of a single dollar. If all the money in the world was equally divided among all the people of the world, everyone would get $144,000 each!! Yet these rich fatcats are living high off the hog while the rest of us are languishing in utter poverty! Yes I know Bill and other extremely wealthy persons are supposedly giving to various charities and causes some of which are just a waste of money that could help some very needy people but I now challenge any wealthy people out there who reads this post to have some serious soul searching and consider the foolish rich man in Luke 12:

A couple of years ago, we adopted a feral cat and have been extremely satisfied until the last few days.

Because she spent the first two years of her life homeless and living outdoors, we have never forced her to stay inside. Although we have always had a litter box inside, she refuses to use it unless it is snowing outside and uses her cat door to relieve herself outside

As cooler weather has set in, she spends more and more time indoors, but in the last couple of days has ventured out 3 times and returned each time with a bird. Each time, we have managed to rescue the bird and set it free. We have scolded the cat and even swatted her, but it doesn’t seem to help. We tried a collar with bells on it, but the birds don’t seem to recognize the warning sound in time to avoid her clutches. We have tried locking her inside, but it seems to make her crazy.
