What Would You Do With a Million Dollars?
This question was asked of everyone last weekend at our Sisters in Crime meeting.
What popped into my head and I wrote was that I'd pay off all my bills and help out my kids.
Today a million doesn't go nearly as far as it used to. I got to thinking about what else I could do with the money. My church was my next thought. Our church is small but does mighty work--the work I think God expects churches to do. We have a food pantry and give out food nearly every day--especially toward the end of the month. We pay people's first month's rent, utility bills and fix their cars. Our pastor and his wife haul people to and from church, to the doctor's and to the hospital. Their cars are always breaking down and at the moment they are borrowing a church member's.
So I think next on my list would be to get the pastor and his wife and economical car they could use to do all their ministering duties.
Our church needs work that always has to wait because there's not enough money. I could go on.
You can see that my million would be gone right away.
So what would you do with a million dollars? And it's okay to spend it on something you've always wanted or wanted to do.

Also, I'd buy a mother-daughter house so that my mom and I could live together but each have our own space.
Oh, and I'd do more traveling!
