Judging Materialists

I heard of one professor at a Christian school who bought a Mercedes every year. ?Now there?s a materialist if I?ve ever seen one,? you say. But you don?t know the whole story. You see, once a year this professor travels from America to Germany to teach at a Christian school. While in Germany, he purchases a Mercedes and uses it for his transportation. Now since Mercedes are made in Germany, they are a lot cheaper to purchase there than in America. Upon his return to the States, he ships the car with him, and sells it in the States for a profit, giving him enough money to pay for his travel back to Germany the next year, so that he can minister there again! ?

Wrestler Reads Only Bible

?The only thing I read is the Bible. I decided six months ago to read it from the beginning to end as a whole. It gives you a whole new understanding. I bring it on the road with me, and I might only read a page a day, but sometimes I read more.? Kurt Angle, World Wrestling Federation Entertainment star, whose autobiography ?It?s True! It?s True!? was a New York Times best seller in 2001. (Source: Sunday, Dec. 22, 2002, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Page c3)
