IS THE TIME NOW

.
 One thing we have in common 
 with all the churches and synagogues 
 around the country is that 
 we need money.  
 Money, the root of all evil, 
 is the underlying commonality, 
 other than the Creator, 
 that we have with all others
  
 Commonality is a good thing
 in many areas of our lives
 Without this we could be 
 isolated and lonely
 No man is an island
 We need each other
 even if just to bloviate
  
 Mostly, though
 we need others to
 work with and share goals,
 rejoice in accomplishments
 We need others, 
 if we are generous,
 to serve and provide for
  
 Thusly, we empty ourselves,
 so that we may be filled again
  
 Beautiful buildings cost many dollars 
 to build and maintain
 God wanted His church 
 to be built with love,
 men bring stones,
 magnificent stones,
 golden stones
 All of which, remain stones
  
 He wants us to worship on 
 the fringes, helping others
 When will we learn?
 Now is the time
