A good friend and seminary professor from the 80s, now a successful executive coach, has a refrain: “Until you answer the Why question, the cost is always too high.”

Simply put, Why gives What meaning.

Nearly anyone who reads last week's Gospel reading (spoiler alert: The Widow’s Offering) can pretty quickly come up with the What: sacrificial giving. That’s easy.

But what’s the Why? Well, that’s the vital question, isn’t it?

See you Sunday.
