In an uncertain world, we cannot crawl in a hole. Be wise but shrewd. Investing Rebecca's college fund. Our prayer that Paraguay's economy skyrockets. Parable of the talents.

When Abraham Lincoln was president he didn't go to church regularly on Sunday because his presence was rather disruptive. Instead, he often went to the Wednesday night service at the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church. He usually sat in the pastor's study with the door open so that he could hear the service in relative seclusion. On one such night, he brought a White House aide with him. Walking back home, the aide asked the president how he liked the sermon.
