That concept really intrigued me.  Most of us would have wished for a million dollars or more wishes, or something...at the least, a sum of money that would likely take care of our needs and wants for the rest of our lives. But this fellow only asking for "enough" has just been stuck in my head for days.  We live in a land of "too much" as it is.  Too much clothing, too much food, too much to do... what if we were always guaranteed "enough"?  Would enough be enough for us?  Or would we want more?

I'm a woman, and I naturally like having a sense of security. I like having a house where the roof doesn't leak and the wind doesn't howl through. I like being warm in the winter and cool in the muggy heat. I like knowing when I flip the switch on my air conditioner it will cool and dry the air in my office. I like to feel sure when I turn on the shower the water will come out hot instead of icy cold. I don't long to be rich, I really only want to have enough to pay the bills and keep things steady.  And in so many ways, I have more than enough.  So why do I have this restlessness inside, this nagging worry that somehow something bad might be just around the corner?  I guess so much comes down to trust.

I have a sticker on my guitar that I put on there back in 1974.  It says, Peace is not needing to know what will happen next.

Ms. I have had enough!!! Please send word that Louisianians need help where public services are stealing us blind. After Hurricane Gustav which left us without water for 5 days, electricity for 10 days, and cable for TV and internet for 13 days, the bills for each reflect increases and charges for storm relief!! Good Grief!! If I could get a coalition going to fight this I would. Any suggestions? I love your blog and the fact that you use it to support your dad. Dana
