on a serious note..
i am really tres grateful that God gave me a job at cineplex because i met so many amazing people and sounds weird but it's really changed my persepective on a lot of things....on friendship, on...life in general
i've learned so much and i love love it so much
however i think because i'm so immersed into that "scene"...i feel a littel disconnected with God
it's the money i tell ya
ever since i've been getting paycheques after paycheques..i've been doing a lot of shopping..and not that it's a bad thing because i feel like i "deserve" it in a way
but it's just having money and being really.... occupied with thinking about "what to buy next"
when i dind't have money, i was liek "meh" to everything and i was really content
but now i find myself really...malcontent, because i alwasy want more
i feel more and more self-indulgent...not a good thing
 
"But man, despite his riches, does not endure; he is like the beasts that perish... Do not be overawed when a man grows rich, when the splendor of his house increases; for he will take nothing with him when he dies, his splendor will not descend with him.... A man who has riches without understanding is like the beasts that perish. " -Psalm 49:12,16-17,20
 
" 'Hear, O LORD , and be merciful to me; O LORD , be my help.'  You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing to you and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give you thanks forever. " -Psalm 30:10-12

This is your conscience speaking...

Don't indulge in materialism; it is a slipperly slope downwards:
"For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs."
1 Timothy 6:10

and...

HAPPY 19TH BIRTHDAY DICK DICK! Have a fantabulous birthday. Sorry I couldn't be there to say it in person but I'm sure you'll have a good one. Take care and God bless!
