I Hate It When That Happens!

I just woke up about 10 minutes ago and I felt that I needed to post this or else I would forget a lot of the details.

I had a dream last night where I won $14,000 by answering a man's challenge of throwing a small tomato through a sewer opening. I think I was at a county fair or something, and the man who was challenging the crowd was probably a used car salesman. Every time I landed my tomato through the sewer, the crowd went wild. When I finally made the last one to win $14,000, I jumped in jubilation and the crowd went hysterical. I think I was with another one of my friends, possibly one my roommates, and we embraced.

The rest of the dream is kind of a blur, mostly because I am trying to figure out what to do with the money. And then I woke up. Damn, that stinks! I hate it when that happens!

However, this dream poses and interesting question: What to do with lottery or "lucky" money? Honestly, I probably would have given half the money to my mother (single-parent and works her a$$ off everyday) and probably spend the rest in a frivolous manner. Or I might have paid off my college loans. My dream showed me that I have a tendency to be a materialistic person; I don't know how easily I would be able to answer the challenge of giving up all that I own in order to follow God.
