Q&A- Question Numero Tres

Andy Merrick asked:
If you had $100,000, how would you spend it on YOURSELF?

If you had $10M, how would you spend it on OTHERS?

Thanks a lot! haha This is definitely a hard question. So….here I go.

$100,000
I would put the money towards a new house. I know that seems to easy, yet it is what I would do…. but I know you want more details..sooooo

I would finish my studio and my wife’s Art studio and I would purchase a new vehicle.

$10 million to spend on others..
First off I would put some money to an inner-city festival. Really blow it out. Get restaurants involved, bands, churches, fun and free. I believe Strongly in local missions. I think it is great when we step out our front door and make a change. Do not get me wrong as foreign mission should not be forgotten, because they are very needed, but when we step out around our neighbors and make a difference it is amazing. No matter race, color, sex or religion, when we just step out and LOVE on everyone. That action speaks louder than words. That shows what is truly in your heart. I would use as much money needed to push this. Andy this also a big goal of mine to pull off one day. Not a conference with preaching and worship music.. Just a fun time. A time where we can step out of our comfort zone and as cliche as it sounds, shine a little light into someone’s life.

I would take some of the money and put it to charities. Charities for the homeless and addicted. Then I would take money and put it in the local church. To help them keep on pushing what is needed. Get the little things they need that matter.

Then the rest……
I would go downtown.. Hang out, get some dinner and just one on one talk with people.. I think so many times we go out with the cross blazed and cocked like we are going to battle that we take over an area before we have the opportunity to talk. I would just share stories about life, love, hurt, pain, problems, money and just be a friend to the friendless.

Hope that answers.
