Money and consecration

When there are poor among us, in some ways, they are not free...  not free to make all the choices they would make if they weren’t poor, like, whether or not to go to school, whether or not to buy that (and how large of a car/house/ring to buy), what sort of clothes to wear, how many children to have, who to be friends with, what neighborhood to live in, how much to pay in tithing, and how much to give back to the bishop in consecration...


Righteousness is the great leveler and money is the ultimate separator!When there are poor among us, in some ways, they are not free...  not free to make all the choices they would make if they weren’t poor, like, whether or not to go to school, whether or not to buy that (and how large of a car/house/ring to buy), what sort of clothes to wear, how many children to have, who to be friends with, what neighborhood to live in, how much to pay in tithing, and how much to give back to the bishop in consecration...
