jesus encourages his listeners, back then and today, as he teaches about the abundant and eternal rewards of denying ourselves, taking up our cross and following him. if they have a request and he can fulfill it, he sees that they get what they want. this is the “black magic” of what we do. does the foam trap you or make rising from bed difficult? always look for a mattress that relieves pressure with good, even support throughout the night. it is difficult to understand why, in the specific case of money, and only in this case, there would be any sort of market failure.
