What would it feel like to be one of the wealthiest people on the planet? It's easy to see pictures of the rich and famous on TV and wonder. But if you live in the Western world and own a car, you are better off financially than most people on the planet. When you start to think of yourself as one of the privileged few, it changes how you look at life. I know that my trip to Kenya last year forever altered my perception of the word "poor."

According to the above Web site, I am in the top 0.809% of the richest people in the world. There are 5,951,427,435 people poorer than me. Since I am so blessed, I know that I have a responsibility to bless others with what I have.
Sometimes it takes a little perspective to see things as they really are.
