The Oracle of Omaha


Warren Buffet, one of the richest people in the world, says the best advice he ever received was unconditional love.  Powerful stuff from a man worth billions!

He also talks a little about how he hopes the norm is that wealthy people begin to give more back to society. He has given and plans to give away untold millions.

I look at this and think about how easy it is for him to give away so much money, since he still has so much left. But I will freely admit I don't challenge myself to give more than I do, in money or in time. It's easy to get comfortable, to watch others give and not see how the challenge extends to us, to not hear honestly the words of Christ calling us to always look to do more, to love more, to give more.
