I came across this little stash of acorns while out walking. Is this the best thing to do with your prize acorns in a recession?

Jesus seems to be suggesting, in The Parable of the Talents, that this is how many of us invest the abundance of what God sends our way. Out of fear we like to keep God out of harms way. Take no risks. Keep things as they are. To understand this parable you probably have to recognise that burying your loot in Jesus’s day was a perfectly sensible thing to do; like putting it in the Nationwide Building Society.

Many people are afraid of losing or endangering God and so seek to protect God from adventures, to resist attempts at radical inclusion that might, they fear, compromise God’s purity and holiness. Protecting God is a variant of not trusting God.
