Life without consequences
16th October 2009
The Other McCain indulges in some philosophizing.
Old money can corrupt, and new money can, too. Remember the IPO hot shots of the “dot-com” boom? Or recall those stories about lottery winners who wasted vast winnings and ended up broke again? What about those professional athletes — first-round draft picks and All-Pro stars — who reached their 40s without retaining a cent of their once-fabulous earnings?
God tests us every day. Some He tests with poverty, and some He tests with wealth. Some He tests with bad fortune, and some He tests with good fortune. Some He tests with pain, and some He tests with pleasure. But every hour of every day He is testing us; and how each of us responds to those tests shows what we are worth.
