As I was listening to the latest Fourcast Podcast, I was reminded that as humans we like shining things. I started to take this reminder down the rabbit trail it lead to in my own mind and realized that I am drawn to shiny things. I like stuff. I really, really like stuff. I like my gadgets and books and games and DVDs and CDs and ....

But all this stuff is empty and leaves me simply wanting more.

If only I put as much effort into becoming more Christ-like that I put into the gathering, hoarding and consumption of stuff.

I found the way to liberate yourself from "Stuff"....take something you really like....I mean really treasure.........and just plain ol give it away man....find someone who could use it or like it and give it away.....and don't replace it!.....crazy liberating, completely breaks the hold stuff has over us......by the way FINALLY a new post
