"Quick" Money

I was reading the Plan of Salvation part of the Start! Bible and there was this story about this guy who bought an old picture frame from a flea market and ended up with a rare 1776 John Dunlap Declaration of Independence official print copy. To make the long story short, he made more than 2 million dollars in profit from that $4 investment. I’m waiting for something like that to happen to me, lol. I love stories like that. Quick money, but without effort or deception, just something completely unexpected. It’s not like winning the lotto, because with that you go into it, hoping to make money (and just end up disappointed anyway, unless you’re that person from Zambales who won), and anyway, my persuasion is quite explicit in its stand against such “recreation”. So anyway, another similar story I like, although fiction, is from Elizabeth Enright’s “The Four-story Mistake”. Miranda Melendy found a caddis house with a diamond embedded in it while wading in the pond (and she was a good girl too and bought a war bond with it). How about inheriting money from some miserly relative you thought you were being charitable to? A little bit trickier is spotting a wanted criminal with a reward on his head, lol. Anyway, in my wonderings about this, I’ve already determined what I would do with the money - tithe plus offering of course, gifts to people for whom I always wish I could do more, invest, and have fun. When I say fun, I don’t mean stuff. I mean experiences and travel is at the top of the list. Maybe go on Hoseasons european holidays? Europe is my number one destination. Build a house should be up there, but in this fantasy where I find a genuine lost masterpiece, precious stones glued next to rhinestones, a hag who turns out to be a good fairy, a semi-harmless wanted criminal (point 1: it would be hard to turn a harmless person in; point 2: there’s a catfight, but I am ninja, so I trounce him, lol)… we already have a cottage in the woods, so…
