my gorgeous friend elissa was studying youth work years ago. she told me that everyone was addicted to something and she had to write an assignment on what she was addicted to...intrigued i wondered what on earth my angelic friend could possibly be addicted to...'god's love' she replied. and that's what she wrote her assignment on.
the addiction of consumerism...the nicest of all sins.
heard ash barker say 'christians should sell everything they own and give it to the poor at least once in their life.' i can't imagine he'd be very interested in the latest ikea magazine.
hung out with jarryd and bonnie in their community in lockeridge. they share everything they own and are choosing a life of voluntary simplicity...inspiring. i don't think any of their furniture was from ikea either.
i've got another friend who has an equal lack of interest in shopping for furniture. she has just given birth to a child with a hole in his heart because she was stoned for most of her pregnancy.
addiction...freedom from all other values...including consumerism.
