If I should ever win millions in the lottery I would?
Purchase entire publishing rights of both C*rm*n and Terry's work.
Only license C*rm*n work to the Eddies to cover in their own poignant way.
Give publishing rights to Terry?s work back to Terry.
Make sure band creates a hip video and is played on MTV.
What would you do?

-don't get me wrong, we've all dreamt of winning the lottery and I think your real point was if we were in a position monetarily to benefit all things TST "What would we do?" but it's kinda like wielding the ring in Tolkein's books; Boromir and Denethor claimed they wanted it to do good but they wouldn't have been able to handle it.
The lottery's the same thing, I've dreamed about all the good I'd do with lotsa moola and so rationalized pursuing such. But for the haunting words of Jesus I might still...
]Matthew 19:24 Mark 10:25 Luke 18:25
I know about the part that comes next but it's kinda like the joke about not needing to be a Baptist to go to heaven... -why take a chance?!

Hey here's one for ya,
listen to "A Vegas Story" on LD "Gift Horse".
Maybe the reality of stiking it big will set in.
For free drinks and a dream, I gave them my wallet,
I rolled the dice and upped my price,
My soul for sale they bought it...
Listen, be content with what you have. Money can't fix or change things like He can.

In reality, I can't win considering I have only purchased three or four tickets. I have received more as stocking stuffers or inside birthday cards than actual purchases.
I was just playing the daydream of "what if" and "what would I do" It was my way of curing musical illiteracy.

I think about it myself from time to time still (used to fantasize about it aaaaalllll the time) but I've been learnin' so much lately about the benefits of trusting God day to day, learning contentment, the whole daily bread thing, grace for the moment.
That's why songs like "Diamonds To Coal" say so much;
Diamonds to Coal
(Words and Music by Terry Taylor)
(CHORUS)
Go ahead and do it Lord
Change my Diamonds to Coal
Go ahead and do it Lord
Bring me lower than low
You said a man might gain the world
And lose his own soul
So go ahead and do it Lord
Change my Diamonds to Coal
I was thinking I had everything
Thinkin' I was mighty
But lately I've been feelin' all the
Ash and dust inside me
And I can't ignore the Savior King
I can't avoid the cross
I'll need the help His spirit brings
To count my gain as loss (so)
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Thought my money was my worth
So my wealth was my devotion
My love for treasures on this earth
Is a chain that must be broken
And I can't ignore the Savior King
I can't just walk away
I desire to be redeemed
That's why I'm here to pray
(REPEAT CHORUS)
