4th Grade is almost over



Last night we had our musical performances from the 4th grade band, strings and choir. Addison is in the choir. She did an excellent job! She played the xylophone in the opening number, sang loud and proud and was even PEG LEG JOE behind the screen.

Now, this means one thing, 4th grade is almost over and middle school awaits.....my baby can't go to middle school! ACK!

Obsessed with Stuff

Be on your guard against every form of greed.
Luke 12:15 (NASB)

In 1900 the average person living in the United States wanted seventy-two different things and considered eighteen of them essential. Today the average person wants five hundred things and considers one hundred of them essential.

Our obsession with stuff carries a hefty price tag. Eighty percent of us battle the pressure of overdue bills. We spend 110 percent of our disposable income trying to manage debt. And who can keep up? We no longer measure ourselves against the Joneses next door but against the star on the screen or those on magazine covers. Hollywood’s diamonds make yours look like a gumball-machine toy. Who can satisfy Madison Avenue? No one can. For that reason Jesus warns, “Be on your guard against every form of greed” (Luke 12:15 NASB).
