Passing Through the Eye of a Needle

<p>There is a saying in the Bible that it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. In my Catholic elementary school days, we were taught this meant, in essence, that if you are rich you can&rsquo;t get into Heaven. It wealth-shamed people, and I began to worry about the families in town who I thought of as wealthy.</p> <p>Some of my friends had parents who were doctors or lawyers. Some owned nice businesses or had a cottage on a lake up north. They wore suits and drove new cars. Some flew on airplanes to places on vacation during the summer. They ate out at restaurants even when it wasn&rsquo;t a holiday.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/backyard-theology/passing-through-the-eye-of-a-needle-5eae06ab4aac"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
