IMO Money isn't the route to all evil; it's the love and dependence on money that is the route to all evil. That's why I give crazy amounts away to guard myself from it's addiction. Money is a tool that can be dangerous like a nail gun or something, but if "used" properly, can do a lot of good. Dude, I've spent a couple of years now working with people with TONS of money who are plain flat miserable. I think know that I believe that there are truly more unhappy rich people than poor people. I know that I don't want to believe that either, but it's starting to be my experience.

Don't sweat the student loans. I just finished paying off my loans from my undergrad and now praying about pursuing a Master's in Divinity. Sad that most guys in the ministry that aren't Charlatans don't make a ton of money, but if you want that kind of education you have to pay $30K+

That's a little of what pushed me into being by-vocational...tired of seeing my wife stress about money when I was a full time pastor. Now, God is good. Life is in perspective. I'll leave paying the bills to Him and just take advantage of the opportunities He presents.

Okay, okay...sorry for the Sermon for The Day! Off to try not to damage any apendages swinging a hammer or nail gun!
