But then I realized it's the titles like that (should) fund the more experimental titles. And, although I'd like to think we could go without money, it would be insanely difficult. sair,

Encouragement is something that was invaluable to me this past schoolyear. It definately was the foundation of a good friendship this year. It's excellent when, as you point out, gifts benefit others as well as yourself. It's like buy-one-get-one free! Thanks for your comments, Dave.

I think you're spot on in looking at 1 Corinithians. The famous "love" chapter 13 is samwiched in-between two chapters that talk about spiritual gifts. That's no accident on Paul's part. Our gifts are to be used in love to benefit others. (Interestingly, they're not really "gifts" to us, but to others that benefit from them.) So, the thing to keep in mind is how to use our gifts to love others. It's apparent that the the church in Corinth had some issues with valuing some gifts over others. So it's also encouraging to know that the gifts that seem "weaker" are also indispensable. Take Barnabas in Acts 4:36 and 9:26-27--his name means "Son of Encouragement." He actually got a new name for a gift that most tend to overlook, especially on teams. Someone might not be the best coder/writer/designer/whatever, but they may hold the whole group together with their encouragement. He certainly encouraged the early church and especially Paul. So I think using your God-given gifts in a way that loves others is where it's at. Got to your post via Bill’s blog…
