- And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
- And Jesus put forth [his] hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
- And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. [Matthew 8:24 (KJV)]
If your plague is your wealth, what do you do!
For those who have been "unlucky enough" that a winning lottery ticket was held on a Wednesday or a Saturday, and they were "cheesing like a Cheshire cat on the local news reports.".
What do you do, when your phone starts ringing off the hook? What do you do, when it does not stop? What you do after giving your local hospital the $17M purse, so it can forgive "unafford-able" medical bills? What do you do when your chronic illnesses become progressively worse, based upon your internist assessment. An internist whom you have known and trusted your entire life? What do you do when you are over seventy and your children cannot wait on an inheritance? What do you do when are "laying prostate" on a bed in that same hospital only a few months after waving that "grand prize" ticket on CBS DFW with Ol' Jody Dean...when your plague is your wealth, what do you do!
- Forgive the "Jake-ish" sounding interrogative-statement. But, what do you do? What do you do, when those who cannot get enough of Ol' Mammon keep chasing you? What do you do!?!
