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.

    Money to buy the 2, no 3 rock houses for the church since they won’t.
    Take the grandchildren to the Grand Canyon.
    That’ll do.

    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.
