Several days ago I recieved a copy of People Magazine in our mail, and as I was browsing through the pages I chanced upon an article that really caught my attention. So I decided to blog about it...
Tom Hseieh could be living the American dream. An immigrant from Taiwan, he worked hard in school got into a good college and today heads an L.A. based tecommunications consulting firm. His annual pay:$200,000. So where's the big house and the fancy car? "We could have that lifestyle," Hseih says. "But it's not real." What's real, for Hseih is his deep faith and desire to help others. So Hseieh, 36. wife Bree, 31 and 13 month daughter Kadence live on a modest $38,000 a year. The rest of Tom's income goes to charity, including Servant Partners, a Christian group he and Bree belong to that sends young adults into urban areas to spread Christ's teachings and practice community activism. The family lives in a two bedroom duplex in South Pomona, a community battered by crime and unemployment. There, Hseih and his wife talk to young people about getting on a better path, and lead efforts to make the streets safer.
For godliness with contentment is great gain for we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 1Tim 6:6-7
1Timothy 6:3-10

"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust"-
Gen. 3:19 says "All your life you will sweat to produce food, until your dying day. Then you will return to the ground from which you came. For you were made from dust, and to the dust you will return>."
