Lottery Madness

Not only is playing the lottery fraught with problems (spiritual and otherwise--see, e.g., the DG post today).  But just imagine what a mess it would make of your life to win $640,000,000.00.  I have to think, at the end of the day, that that big check would leave a person wondering who his/her friends really were.  And leave one asking, "What's real in these relationships of mine?"  "Who am I to the people around me?"  "What am I in their eyes?"

Such an odd and sad craze in our day.
