Final word for the night on poverty

Jared weighed in earlier today with an excellent practical suggestion of what we might do to alleviate global poverty one person at a time; Erin had a superb (and quite convicting) observation about the priorities we see in many church budgets (something, it's worth noting, that Jared has also posted about at various points); and Heather asked, simply, WWJD?: What would James do?

My wife capped off the day for me by bringing her ongoing consideration of the reality, or lack thereof, of money to bear on the problem; she manages, I think, to fuse this issue with my earlier ruminations about economics as one of the elemental powers of our society and how we should respond to that. I think she's found another part of the response, and I encourage you to read her post.
