Did you know...

according to various groups who have studied the budget of our country...



This number troubles me... especially considering that while this money helps support the families of our troups and those who are veterans and provides health care...for which I don't have a problem...
... it also helps destroy people in other parts of the world, increase weaponry, and kills our own people too...which for me is a problem.

What's even more troubling to me is that the manner in which money is spent--whether by people personally or institutions coorporately--tells about the "spender's" priority. In this case, it seems that making war, maintaining power, and manipulating

Therefore, I invite you to consider with me how your own spending habits indicate your priorities as mine do mine, and the same for our country.

Pondering my priorities...
Purposefully re-evaluating my spending...
Hoping for change...
