It seems that the US government has hit a turning point where its never going to have a balanced budget again.  Obama says it won't happen in the next decade, and after the next decade Medicare costs, interest on the debt and Social Security costs will take off too fast for economic growth ever catch up. That forebodes a terrible economic storm as the trust in the US to repay its loans drops, the interest rate on the growing debt rises, and the US is forced to print money like a third-world country to pay its debtors. That brings to mind one of the strangest (to my ears) parables of Jesus--the dishonest manager.  In it a guy is about to lose his jobs, and right before he is finally fired he conspires to write down debts of his bosses debtors--and is commended for it. 

Jesus concludes, "And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous wealth, so that when it fails they may receive you into the eternal dwellings."

Our application: dollars (and all assets really) are going to becoming increasingly devalued.  Take your money now and spend it for God.  Get it out of your savings/college fund/retirement account and trade pieces of paper with Presidents on them for something that will count for eternity. Any ideas?  Put them in the comments!
