One morning over breakfast, my children asked me, "Dad, are we rich? Does this happen to you?" It might. You know, it's a powerful question and a surprisingly difficult one to answer. I looked at our breakfast table and I said, "Well, there are just enough bread rolls for everyone. We have enough."
