Hi class,

Remember to get in that rough draft by midnight tonight. If the date of submission is the 22nd, I'll need to deduct a few points and I do not want to do that. :)

We are going to take the next few classes to look at a very important subject...money. You know, even the Bible talks frequently about money. One of my very favorite parables in the gospel (Mark 12) deals with money. Money is neither good nor bad; it is neutral. However, how we deal with it is what determines if it has a positive effect on our lives or a negative one. What do you think about money? Are you someone who feels you never have enough? Are you content with what you have? How has money impacted you, your family, your relationships with your parent? Has money been a big topic between you and your family? How about your friends?

Let's continue to mature by learning to have a proper perspective on money and have some conversations about what role money will play in your academic future.
