Marcus Dods, Scottish minister, considers the rich fool (Luke 12:16-21). With abundant crops, he had no idea of what to do with the excess. Had he never seen a beggar or a blind man? With a world full of misery before him, he thought of asset preservation.

Can our hearts immediately see the problem in this point of the story? Do we have a world of misery just outside the door of every story?

How can you consider where to bestow your goods?

Hey folks
We really need some help here.
The money situation is dire. Still not as bad as if we had to forfeit thousands a month to landlords and fixed utilities. But dire. Please spread the word to those with currency who can assist.

I have Ko-Fi, Paypal, Zelle, Patreon, CashApp and Wise available. I can set up other means if needed. Please DM to ask for more details, whether for you or an anonymous donor's behalf.

Thank you <3

A quotation from Peters, Ellis:

«
Cadfael was not of the opinion that a man’s main business in this world was to save his own soul. There are other ailing souls, as there are ailing bodies, in need of a hoist towards health.
