If I Had Money
This is going to be one of the most non icanhasgrace posts to date because it goes against pretty much everything this blog is supposed to be about. I’m going to post it anyway.
If I had money I would:
- Replace the carpet throughout the house with hardwood and ceramic tile
- Redo the bedroom with matching furniture instead of the make-do stuff that’s in there now and especially include a headboard. (I’ve never had a headboard.)
- Have my yard professionally landscaped with perennial gardens correctly installed with soil, irrigation, plants, and mulch. I am perfectly willing to maintain it if I could start fresh.
- Eat out once a week with the entire family and not feel guilty about it.
- Take the family on more trips.
- Get a popup camper and a trailer hitch.
- Buy each of my kids a car.
What would you do if you had the money to do it? Go ahead, make me feel bad and share your altruistic dreams and selfless wishes. I can take it.

About the Blog
icanhasgrace is a statement, a plea, a demand, and a prayer.
icanhasgrace is 65% about finding grace in every day life, and 35% about family, photography, and culture.
When I do it right, you can’t tell which is the 65% and which is the 35% because they run together.
icanhasgrace is my attempt to share my passions.

My name is Doug Hagler. I live in Nashville, Tennessee. I’m a web editor, partner (such a strange word. It makes me think of cowboys and business arrangements), and father of three wonderful children.

I keep hearing that experiences bring us more happiness, rather than possessions. You may be on the right track, Mary Beth.
–Buy a reliable car that doesn’t have dents all over it.
–Hire someone to clean my house once a week.

They seem like such simple wishes, don’t they?
Finish buying the knives that go to my great-grandmother’s silver.
A new lawn tractor – or better yet, hire somebody to do the yard and not feel guilty.

Money to buy the 2, no 3 rock houses for the church since they won’t.

Should I start “Saturday’s Shot of Material Wishes?”
provide college funds for neice and nephew, pay off all debt, get a new car (mine is 10yrs old), buy a house (never owned a house), pay off all debt at church
If I had SOME money I would pay off our credit card and truck.
If I had a BUNCH of money, I would pay cash for a new house, save for college, go to seminary, and start the Campbell Foundation, which would provide grants for community and church projects.
oh, and buy a camp to run for retreats and churches.
