Wow i kinda busted back on too the blogger scene with a doozy...:) anyway been extremely busy lately...working at a store called Replay's we buy used dvd's, cd's, and video games then sell them back to the public. Very interesting business...and surprisingly stressful...but just because of the amount of things going on at one time...it's really helping me learn how to multitask...which i am horrible at. I'm one of these people that tend to focus on one thing at a time...when i try to multi task things start becoming undone...:) anyway just wanted to update a little and add one little verse to the end of my blog just for good measure!!!
Proverbs 23:
4 Do not wear yourself out to get rich;
have the wisdom to show restraint.
5 Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone,
for they will surely sprout wings
and fly off to the sky like an eagle.
in our Capitalistic society that we all live in...we notice that certain things make you look successful, mostly materialistic things like cars, houses, expensive things that make us look happy... but do these things make us happy? Sure it's great to have nice things and i'm not saying that we should strive to be with out things...and in poverty..by all means no...but were are we putting our trust? are we putting it in the material things of this world our jobs and our things...or are we putting our trust in God. Does having really expensive things make you happy by themselves? I'm not gearing this toward anybody i just noticed some of the names of a few albums and it made me think. why do we want money? what purpose does it serve to be rich and have all thing in the world...to quote the bible Matthew 16:26
26What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul
it just seems to me that so many people are dying to be rich literally. trading a honest life of work to get some quick cash selling drugs...or stealing cars...or mugging people...what purpose does money serve? i just don't understand it...yes i like having money, yes i like having cool awesome expensive things..but is it worth killing myself to get these things? neglecting my family and friends to work hard enough to get these things...putting myself in insane amounts of debt to get these things? i don't know these are just some thoughts i've been pondering on today...it's amazing what a album cover can make you think about. any way people God Bless you. And i shall return
