Storing Up Treasures
$15,000 comic book stolen from Nebraska home
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A rare Spider-Man comic book valued at $15,000 has been stolen from a home in Lincoln, Neb.
The Lincoln Journal Star reports (http://bit.ly/tDR7az ) the comic "Amazing Fantasy No. 15" is the first appearance of Spider-Man and sold for 12 cents in 1962.
Nearly 50 years later, it sells for thousands of dollars and in May, an unnamed buyer purchased a mint condition copy for more than $1 million.
The owner of the stolen comic believes it was taken between Oct. 27 and Monday morning.

Matthew 6:19-21 (ESV)
Lay Up Treasures in Heaven
19 "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust[a] destroy and where thieves break in and steal, 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
What Does God's Story scripture Teach Us About Treasures?
So where's your heart? Today's God's Story scripture teaches us that it is much better to invest our resources and our lives in things that have an eternal value than in "things" that will eventually be destroyed, or possibly even stolen. How are you investing in what matters most? If you want to know where your heart is, look at your treasures.
How can I connect today's God's Story Scripture to My Life?
- Take some time this weekend to take an inventory of your life. Make a list of the things that you are storing up on earth.
- Take some time this weekend to make another list as well. Make a list of the ways that you are storing up treasures in heaven.
How can I connect Today's Story, God's Story, and My Story with Others?
- Do you know someone who is more concerned with story up treasures on this earth than in heaven? Spend some time with them soon. Look and listen for ways to share God's Story with them.
- As we enter Thanksgiving week and then the Christmas season, it is the perfect time to talk with others about storing up treasures in heaven. Talk with your family or some friends about how you, as a group, might be able to meet the needs of others this year.
