And unto one he gave five talents

Here is a spectacularly inspirational article that is well worth your time. "An age-old lesson comes alive for Ohioans" from the Wisconsin State Journal tells the story of Rev. Hamilton Coe Throckmorton of Chagrin Falls, OH. He decided to test a bible parable by handing out $50 to each of his 1700 congregation members. Their goal was to use one of their talents to double the money and return it to the church in seven weeks.

The story is marvelous, as people found talents they never knew they had and were stuck with inspiration and new experiences well beyond the pithy sum of $50. I won't tell you how it ends--you'll just have to find out for yourself.
