Fun in the Sleet without going Outside

So last night we were sleeted inside. What is a family to do? We decided to invite Red Bull over and play games. First up was "Go Fish" on Finding Nemo cards. Team "dad and middle kid" split...won one lost one.

Up next was Monopoly. Now let's just say that I have played the game a time or two before. When I was younger, I loved it so much that I wore everyone out from playing it with me....so I would play against myself. I usually won, but it wasn't as fun without someone else crying as they removed their game piece from the board due to me taking their last pesos and property.

However, I was reminded on our sleeted in evening how good it felt when others had to do the removal of shame, taking their game pieces off the board and having to find something else to do while the others got wiped out.

One by one, my competition found themselves at the mercy of a property rich, business savvy and graceless...well um...me! It took two hours in order to wipe all others out. Momma, Red Bull and our eldest are in the poor house today.

I am trying to decide if God desires a tithe of Monopoly money as honoring His hand on me as I crushed my opponents....thoughts?
