If you win the lottery and spend the money on yourself, it may be a
big mistake:

Car:
Bentley Continental GT

Description:
A lottery winner's luck ran out when he wrote off his $200,000 black Bentley Continental after he tried to drive through a flooded road. The 65-yar-old Lottery winner from Herefordshire bought the car after winning a $10 million lottery jackpot in 2008. But he was forced to ditch his "pride and joy" when he drove through flood water in Tewkesbury, Glos., shortly after 8am.

Pablo would have rescued this vehicle for use in the Cristero struggle.

If I win the Lottery I am going to open up an FSSP Chapel in my area, as there isn't one anywhere near me.

hmmm... this makes interesting day dreaming material. What would I do with a windfall?

1. set up a trust fund for the resistance
2. trust funds for my kids and grandkids that they can't touch till they're FORTY

3. cabin in the mountains.

The problem would be keeping Uncle Sam's sticky fingers out of it!

Matthew 6:19-21

"Lay not up to yourselves treasures on earth: where the rust, and moth consume, and where thieves break through and steal.
But lay up to yourselves treasures in heaven: where neither the rust nor moth doth consume, and where thieves do not break through, nor steal.
For where thy treasure is, there is thy heart also."
