Truth : What would you do with a million dollars?
First, let me say that a million dollars isn’t what it used to be.
But if for some reason I was given $1,000,000.00 dollars… I would invest it. I’d invest it in important, life-changing kinda stuff… like Twinkies and Pappy Van Winkle. #kidding
Seriously… and Truthfully… I’d sell my house in Chicago… liquidate all our assets… except Joon… buy a large Bed and Breakfast house on the beach… call my friend The Nester to come and decorate it… then invite friends, family, and strangers from around the world to be encouraged and challenged to live hope-filled marriages and lives.
This would be our “business” as well as our “ministry”.
So if you have an extra million dollars hanging around and you want to see this dream happen… send me an email. #seriously
p.s. – We’d probably serve Twinkies and Pappy Van Winkle on special occasions. #notkidding
What Greg said – except I would serve iced coffee & brownies.
Seriously, this is our dream & it makes me get all teary-eyed thinking about it. Greg & I, from before we were married, have always viewed our relationship as a partnership. A team. {not the A-Team! just Team!} I believe the adventurous road that God has led us on since 1997, the good, bad & ugly, is leading us to something that looks like this dream.
Your turn – what would you do with a million dollars?
Gwen Mahaffey says
DIFFICULT TO EVEN WRITE THE AMOUNT. HAD TO ASK MYSELF HOW MANY ZEROS. SO OUT OF ONE MILLION DOLLARS COMES THE FOLLOWING.
BENEVOLENCE
AND TAXES 310.500.00
FIVE GRANDKIDS
EACH 15,000.00. 75.000.00
TWO CHILDREN. 200.000.00
INCLUDING
SPOUSE
PRAYERFULLY THE REMAINING WOULD TAKE CARE OF US THROUGH OUR ROCKING CHAIR DAYS SO THE GOVERNMENT WON’T
COME KNOCKING AT OUR DOOR WANTING MORE.
Dad said he would bury the rest and may the best man/woman find it.
CAROLINE AND GREG HAPPY TO KNOW YOUR DREAMS. NOW WE CAN DREAM YOUR DREAM WITH YOU. THANKS FOR SHARING!

My dream is actually very similar! I absolutely love hosting but live in a 2-bedroom condo so don’t get to do it as often as I’d like! So if I had a million dollars I’d buy a house large enough to host big family gatherings, neighborhood parties, out-of-town relatives, etc

Give half of it to my friend, go on a holiday to Cape Town to meet another friend, and would have to think about the rest.
