Secret Millionare
This show was very moving. It shows people with millions of dollars giving a portion of their time and money to help people in need. But something that I found more meaningful than the millionaire giving a little of his money and time, were the people who had their ministries already. Like the Alexandria house, the basketball courts, and Amine. These people do not have millions of dollars. The lady from the Alexandria house and the men at the basketball courts live on skid row. EVERY day they are there. EVERY day they are possibly risking their lives for their communities. EVERY day they are sacrificing their time and efforts to pour out their hearts to people. Yeah its great of this guy to come in and give so much money, but I think the true heroes are the people living there. This reminds me of the story of the pharisees and the poor woman who were tithing. A millionaire comes in and gives 100,000 dollars and is there for a week and gets a whole show about him, while the people living in Skid Row hardly get recognized for giving their whole lives. Don't get me wrong I think that there needs to be both of these types of people and I can't judge either of them. However it seems to me that love goes farther than money in the long run. I imagine and hope that John continues to work with the homeless and help with their needs. I do NOT think that we NEED to be recognized for what we do for Christ, but it shows what the world thinks of this topic. To God goes ALL the glory!!
