Our children go to a Christian University. We got a letter from the financial office informing us of additional money that they need to receive. At the end of the note it said that they hoped God would supply the additional funds needed. That touched a nerve inside of me.
I am sick of people who act like this is more than a business. I know it is important that spirituality be brought into everyday life, but let's get real, the effect will not be the same if I say back, I hope God will help you forgive me because I don't have the money to pay the bill.
Business is business. That's the bottom line. We had coaches tell us that they were interested in our sons to be able to play college sports, but also to grow them as godly young men. They are there to win games and if that means my sons sit the bench because they don't believe they will contribute to a win, they will do it. No amount of spiritual jargon will change that.
The blending of spirituality and practical living is a precarious balance, and I think the more rigid one is in their belief system, the harder it is to find that balance.
