"I'm not going to invest any time or effort ...or finances towards helping those who don't try to help themselves. And I'm certainly not going to risk my life for a bunch of ungrateful infidels." How often have we heard that?

"God said that he would that none would perish, so whatever way God chooses to reveal Himself to those ignorant people on that island, that's sufficient for me ...and it's totally up to them how they respond. After all, doesn't God guide the affairs of all ...and since He cares for all, isn't it really His business?"

"So, I'm not going to destroy my life, nor will I sacrifice to help those who are ignorant ...that's not a responsible investment." How does that sound? Isn't being ignorant relative ...but certainly not any of my relatives, you say?

Speaking of investments, I self-published a book, entitled, "The Evolution of Confusion". I invested a specified amout to publish the book, and now, out of the 250 books that were delivered to our home, I've only sold 4 books. No, that's not a typo ...that's really how pathetic I am with sales. You could say that was a poor investment.

I only published half the book as it was about 300 pages too long. If you can believe it, I have three other unpublished books, which had I invested in them also, I would have to build a new addition on our house to just contain all the boxes of unsold books. Is that a bad investment, or what!?!

Or is a bad investment part of a bad judgment. 

Perhaps I overestimated my potential as an author ...in a big way. Maybe I feel I have something to say, but have no real ability to say it well.  

And speaking of too long, if you commit to reading this, (and/or this:  http://thispartisnotfunyetseemsnecessary.blogspot.com/) you will have an example of what I'm trying to say. 

There may be many reasons why I'm doing this, but the reason I'm choosing a blog instead of a print copy ...well, the computer stores this kind of information in a much more efficient way than my attic.

So, you decide whether you want to invest in reading this ...invest the time, that is, as this is not in book form. 

Speaking of investing, why throw your money away like I did, at unsure things??

How about the money sent to missionaries? The missionaries are trying to reach people who are so ingrained in their own culture ...I wonder who would even care to listen about Christ, save one or two?

Save one or two, did I say? 

 What if that one or two ...actually included 'me'? 

 How about you? What if your own son went overseas to fight in a war ...and he was soon declared missing in action, or listed as a P.O.W.? 

 Would you then say, oh well!
