I just bought a new pair of pants from LLBean. Those of you who know me know that I don't often buy clothes; it's not my most favorite thing to do. But I do like to be comfortable. Then I began looking at blogs and I got to a link called the Global Rich List http://www.globalrichlist.com/, and I put in just my income, not even counting Richard's. I'm in the top 0.85% richest people in the world. And I'm asking myself, what does that mean to me? I buy fair trade coffee, I give to charities, etc. But it all seems like just a drop in the bucket.
Was it just luck that I ended up in a place and time that put me in such a privileged position?
That must be, because I don't hold much faith in the view of life that depends on an all controlling God who has a plan for each of us and can intervene at will in the messy details of life.
