It is all over the place and affects us all. I just had a phone conversation with a guy at his whits end, without work and staring down eviction. I spoke with some friends this weekend about being laid off, others about their job sending them out of the state, others about working a job that feels like it's killing them just for that paycheck. I have a friend working jobs on the weekend and losing the family time he wants so he can earn more money, one who is investing as much as he can in his future business, and one whose business is just taking off and he wants to know the best place to invest. Money is all over, and has its hand in everything so this may sound funny, but: money is a serious distraction.
It's not the point. Money is not the point of your life. It may be easy to agree with that, but it's harder to live like it's true. It's hard to avoid living like money is the point of our lives. I think that's why Jesus spoke about money so much. He knew that it had the possibility of being our biggest distraction.
