The crime of kidnapping is based on this premise: The family
loves the victim more than their money. Without that basis, kidnapping would be
futile. Yet, every day we claim and express in words our love for others but
often put our substance and/or our desires before the one we claim to love.
Take for example a young boy our family tried to help. His father
often expressed his love to his son in words but in practice he put a series of
things before his son in the following order: Daddy’s Corvette, Daddy’s Boat, Daddy’s
Job and Daddy’s New Wife (The new wife was well aware of the order).
While most of you reading this wisdom tidbit would not fit
into the above extreme, many would in a less obvious manner. Work followed by
rest comes before time with the kids. The new sofa in the “living room” is
strictly off limit – thus making “the living room” an oxymoron. Watching
football is more important than playing football. Hopefully, you are getting
the idea.
