Global Rich List

I've said before that I feel blessed to be an American, and websites like this illustrate just how blessed I am. I feel humbled with this knowledge because I have done relatively little to earn such wealth and privilege (we don't choose the country of our birth). Living in America, it is easy to get caught up in the materialistic trap of comparing ourselves with others who have more. But the Bible and Christ compel me to to look in the other direction and see just how much I already have compared to the rest of the world. I pray that I use the resources at my disposal wisely.

Sealand for Sale

No its not a water park. It's a sovereign principality (micronation), and according to FoxNews, it's for sale. The "island" was originally built by the British Navy 6 miles off the English coast during WWII. After the war, it was abandoned in international waters. During the 1960s, an entrepreneur moved in and claimed sovereignty - much to chagrin of the British government. Read more of the fascinating history at the official Sealand website and at Wikipedia.

How cool is that? So if anyone wants to loan me a few hundred million dollars, I'd be much obliged ;-)
