Money Matters by Larry Burkett When you start your budget, you have to tailor it to your family. Our guidelines are only recommendations. The bottom line with any budget is that when you add all your percentages, the total cannot exceed 100%. You must also be realistic. Many people try to make their budget work by allocating zero for things like entertainment, recreation, clothing, miscellaneous, or some other category. This won't work. Not one couple has ever shown up for counseling naked. Therefore, I knew they had to have money in their budget for clothing. And yet, many budgets allocate nothing for clothing. It may mean that you have to modify your buying habits for clothes, but you do have to have something in every budget category.

A passage from The Devil's Detective by Simon Kurt Unsworth. Why are you so cruel? You're an angel, aren't you? asked Fool, unable to help himself and stunned at his words. What's happening to me? he wondered. What's happening to me that I'm being like this, little brave stupid fool? Balthasar surprisingly gave Fool's question a moment's thought and then replied in a calm voice, Am I cruel? Yes, said Fool, entertaining a sudden image of Balthasar's flame curling around him and slicing him in two. Perhaps so, said Balthasar. I am angelic flesh, information man Fool, created for the purposes of flame and strength. In heaven my job is to patrol the walls, to be a soldier in the armies of light and good. I am created not for showing grand mercies nor much compassion, but for the muscular brutalities of goodness.

The Pursuit of Holiness by Jerry Bridges As used in scripture, holiness describes both the majesty of God and the purity and moral perfection of His nature. Holiness is one of His attributes. That is, holiness is an essential part of the nature of God. His holiness is as necessary as His existence or as necessary, for example, as His wisdom or omniscience. Just as He cannot but know what is right, so He cannot but do what is right. We ourselves do not always know what is right, what is just and fair. At times we agonize over decisions having moral overtones. What is the right thing to do, we ask? God, of course, never faces this predicament. His perfect knowledge precludes any uncertainty on what is right and wrong.
