Great post. Without reading all the above comments, which I am sure are great, I would say the answer is simple, in the chruch and in American culture we are worshiping the god of more... Mammon ... rather than God. We represent the kingdom of man much better than we do the Kingdom of God, which also explains why there is so little attraction to the American church in America.

Your ability to bounce back is admirable. I suspect, though, that unless things get better for you, your family will be one of many who will be forced to address your need for more money by sending you back to work. Will you still feel the same way if mounting energy prices (and the their trickle down into all things we purchase) force you into that decision? Please ask your pastor about these questions. Ask him how we Christians can better navigate the changes that are coming our way. Ask him how we can work for economic justice in this country for lesser-paid workers. Eliyah,

I've written about some of them in the past. I'm pressed for time and can't argue them all here, but suffice it to say that you're both right. The changes we must make are broad and sweeping. But we need to start somewhere. I hope it's Christians who make that start first. SLW & David,
