Have you ever visited Donald Miller's blog? It is one of my favorites. Right now he is doing a series on Commercialism and Faith. The first three posts have been really interesting. If you have time, take a moment and read them:
Post 1: The Effect of Commercials on the Human Brain.
Post 2: Paradise Lost
Post 3: Rituals and Evangelical Voodoo
Personally, I have been thinking and learning a lot materialism. I have so much stuff-- from music on my iPod to clothes in my closet; from books to read to paper and pens to use; from crafting supplies to scrapbook with to DVDs to watch. I don't have a need... not one. I have extra food in the pantry. I have clothes to keep me warm. I have a bed to lie on each night. I have a roof over my head. Yet I want all the time. I want that new song I just heard on the radio. I want an iTouch. I want not the food I have in my pantry but the fast food I just passed. Donald Miller's series definitely has me examining the why's and even more importantly thinking about how to combat this mindset. I look forward to more of his posts!
What are your thoughts?
