• Fake fire in an outdoor fire pit, while we all stared mesmerized. I couldn’t help but notice the convenience of “clean smoke” and switch-on fire.
• Nice homes and nice cars. Everywhere.
• Wine galas at South Coast Plaza where proceeds benefit an Orange County food bank. How many of those in attendance even know where the food bank is?
• Church success measured by how many people attend and how many flat screen TV’s they have in the lobby.
• One church where they are talking about taking on a $10,000 per month mortgage after 3 years of existence. Another, 2 years old, where they can’t afford to pay their pastor and his family. This pastor spends his time feeding HIV patients in the community, while the other…?
• Suburbia = comfort. Is this what we really want?
• Kingdom of comfort, Kingdom of comfort, Kingdom of comfort. Just don’t speak critically of this to Christians engrossed in this. They might try to crucify you.
• A home remodeled to accommodate an outdoor 54-inch flat screen TV that drops down from above at the touch of a button so you can watch your baseball game while soaking in the hot tub.
• More fake fire.
• M0re. There is a mistaken zero instead of an o. This is actually a very interesting mistake…
• An article about how spending money on ourselves doesn’t result in happiness.
• The article gives compelling evidence that when we spend it on others, we find fulfillment.
• A sign that says, “Never apologize for being an American”.
• I take that to read, Don’t quit chasing the American Dream.
• What Dream?
• Why M0re?
• Who is my neighbor?
• Why comfort?
• That’s what I saw today…
