1. I was looking at the contribution board in church yesterday. If you take the total contribution and divide it by the number of attendees, you get a number greater than my average contribution. This realization made me remember the average-marginal rule. Simply, if your (marginal) contribution is below the average then you are pulling the average (and total) down. The point here is it made me consider my contribution. I have always felt that contribution cannot be measured just by dollars, and I understand earnings and tithing life-cycles, but it is something I have to keep in mind.
2. Part of what I wanted to get out of the airport and the "why can't we skip to the last chapter of the book?" posts is the temporary nature of the world and the temporary nature of strife. Heaven is a great gift and should be remembered in times of strife (and also good times.) Thank you Jesus.
