The Pontiac Silverdome

Built in 1975 for $55 million ($220 million in 2009 dollars) Site of Superbowl XVI, Wrestlemania, Detroit Pistons and Detroit Lions. The world economy spares no one; it just sold at auction for $580,000!

Detroit is one of many places now where you can own a home for a third to a twentieth of the cost to rent the same home. Neighborhoods that used to be hundreds of thousands of dollars back when the auto industry was alive, now can't even bring the $1000 minimum bid prices at auction. To put that in perspective, a new mortgage on that house would be less than $7 a month...If you wanted to live in Detroit with the crime, industry stacks spewing out whatever, the weather etc. Just by collecting cans and bottles, I'm sure it would be paid off in a year. Wouldn't it be great to know you could spend all your time effort and even money on a much more worthwhile place? Especially if it was a priceless gift to you?

Matt 6 Teaching about Money and Possessions

19 “Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. 21 Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be. Our home is not here on this earth...

I'm not trying to pick on Detroit, it's just that I wouldn't want to live there. Compared to Heaven, life here is the pits-Detroitesque, don't you think?
