It was our incredible pleasure and blessing to have a professional photographer, Kimberlee West on our trip to Peru.  She was always behind the cameras so that we could always be in the moment.  Last night she blew us away by giving us all a USB key full of hundreds of pictures and THIS video she produced (on her Mac, of course).  Thanks, Kimberlee – you are a true professional and a Christ-loving servant!

Hello Everyone,

Hope your weekend was great.  Today’s “muse” is simply, “How Much is Enough?”

The question this morning is inspired from my reading in Genesis 33:11, where Jacob returns to Esau …

11 Please accept my blessing that is brought to you, because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. Thus he urged him, and he took it.  (Gen 33:11, ESV, YouVersion.Com, emphasis mine)

There is a lot of trash that is taught in the name of “prosperity”.  Unfortunately, that very trash has made “prosperity” a bad word for many Christians.  I for one believe that God’s desire is for us to prosper so that we can be a blessing to others.

In this case, Jacob blesses his brother Esau.  Maybe his motives weren’t pure .. perhaps he was trying to save his skin with a bribe … but he simply says “I have enough”.

How much is enough?  Do you have enough?

I’ll never forget realizing how dumb it was for me to spend nearly $250/month between my cable, internet, and cell phone bill.  It was then that I realized “I have more than enough” and took my first steps to sponsoring a child in poverty through Compassion International.  Maybe you can do the same thing today?

Think about this question, and post your comment – “how much is enough”?
