\"\"<\/a><\/strong>Happy Thanksgiving, Blogging Colleagues!<\/p>\n

On Thanksgiving Day, we think about what we have and give thanks. However, sometimes this day seems increasingly like the \u201ceve\u201d to the real <\/em>holiday, \u201cBlack Friday,\u201d where we think about we do not <\/em>have, but that we want.<\/p>\n

Recently, I was sharing with a colleague about the last website<\/a> I blogged about, and she suggested another\u2014the \u201cGlobal Rich List<\/a>.\u201d Very interesting\u2026<\/p>\n

From the site, \u201cEvery year we gaze enviously at the lists of the richest people in world. Wondering what it would be like to have that sort of cash. But where would you sit on one of those lists? Here’s your chance to find out.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the Global Rich List<\/a>, I am the one percent <\/strong>(to use the catchphrase of the Occupy Wall Street Movement). The site<\/a> uses a sliding scale to show your position of wealth within the global community. You can see your rich list position, as well as the percentage in which you fall. Simply select the currency of your salary, type in your annual income, and click \u201cshow me the money!\u201d<\/p>\n

So, I am the one percent. The site<\/a> asks one follow up question, \u201chow do you feel about that?\u201d and then encourages us to give just one hour\u2019s worth of our salary (calculated using the above information) to a worthy cause.<\/p>\n

I will be giving ELCA Good Gifts this holiday season\u2014a very worthy cause in my (admittedly biased) opinion. But on this day of thanks, I will be giving thanks for the many gifts of friends, family, good employment and yes, the wealth that is entrusted to me for good stewardship toward health, wholeness and fulfilling life for all. That is the mindset I want to take into the holiday frenzy…wish me luck!<\/p>\n

Check out the Global Rich List<\/a> site, and post back your comments here. Looking forward to the conversation!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
