My son, who is a freshmen in high school this year, catches the school bus before 7 AM. So I've been eating breakfast with him and going through a sports-oriented morning devotional guide before he leaves each morning. This morning we read about a professional basketball player who was offered a 21 million dollar contract. The basketball player saw that offer as "insulting" because he had to "feed his family." So the whole devotional was about what NOT to put your security in--for example, one's money or sports talent. One of the discussion questions went like this:
Me--reading from the devotional: "Would you feel more secure if you have 10 million dollars?"
Bill: "Yes!"
Me--raising my eyebrows: "I think you're missing the point of the devotional this morning."
Bill: "Okay, let me put it this way. I wouldn't feel more secure, but I'd be VERY happy!"
