Request:
This question is from my 7 year old. She asked her sister and I this on the way to church Sunday. We had a very good discussion on the topic. It was wonderful to see how their minds worked and things that have made marks on them over the few years of their life.
As we talked about charity, my youngest asked about giving money to people in need and on the street asking for money. My oldest quickly jumped in about not giving money to people you knew were not going to use it wisely. She remembered that 2 years ago in Seattle there was a man who had a cup asking for money with a fishing pole. His sign read, “Fishing for Beer.” They both asked how they can know who is lying and who is not.
I’ll tell you how I answered that when I do my response to this question later in the week. Again, the question for this weeks Christian Views Symposium is:
BTW, I told my daughter I was using her question and she thought it was “Awesome”.
Rules reminder: No profanity, no name calling. I anxiously await your responses. They have been very good on the previous topics. Enter your response in the comments or email me using the link below with the name of your blog, the title of your post and its url. I will be accepting responses through Sunday night.

Actually, I do own the world.
My first act is to order the execution of all lawyers, politicians and Informix DBA’s,
well, maybe not the DBA’s…

You’ll need the DBA’s to help track all the lawyers and politicians first…

I’m (not) the King of the World!
Lennie’s symposium this (last?) week poses a very fascinating question: What would you do if you owned the world?
