Trivial Pursuit was invented in 1979 by Chris Haney and Scott Abbot. Money was tight so they took in two partners, and offered share blocks to their friends for $1,000. Many refused to invest – It was a serious mistake. The four original partners became millionaires, and the initial 34 people who invested as little as $1,000 for five shares, or accepted shares instead of payment for services, have also realized fortunes, as Trivial Pursuit became the world’s number one board game. There is an important lesson in investing. We have a choice in life, whether to invest in time or eternity. Either to listen to what God has to say, or man. Jesus once asked the rhetorical question, “What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his own soul?” The answer is obvious. You and I are going to live somewhere forever. We’d better learn how to live!
