Empty Portfolios and Full Pantries

So, oh woe is us! We've all been worshipping at Mammon's altar and its let us down. Stock market? We can't get any real stock there,you know, unless we think that side bets on derivatives are worth having for dessert. Time to push that chair away from the imaginary 'futures' table and return to an old staple --a loaf of bread and vintage wine; sustenance from the Lord's Supper and a pantry filled with calming grace will satisfy -- en vigor -- clarify body, heart, and spirit mind. From now on, maybe we should concentrate on saving.
