Too Much Good Stuff?

AM/PM Mini Mart convenience stores have an interesting theme. "You Can Never Have Too Much Good Stuff." I like their ads on TV - especially the one of the two guys floating on a swimming pool when a pretty girl comes up and introduces herself. I love the way one of the guys says, "Well, hello, Alex." 

I just got to thinking about all the "good stuff" we have in America. Not just in America, I'm thinking about all the "good stuff" that I have. I have so much more good stuff than I ever imagined I would ever have. God has been so good to me. The biggest problem I see with all our good stuff is that we focus too much on it and neglect the spiritual side. As I am getting "older" and getting closer to the "off ramp" (an expression I borrowed from a good friend in California), I am realizing more and more how short life is and though I am enjoying many good things, I realize how temporal these things are. I know when you are young you think, "I'll never be old" - it seems so far out there in the future. But the next thing you know, you're there. I think I need to change the tone. I think I am getting close to getting morbid here. I don't want to do that. 

What I do want to do is remind you of our new Spiritual Sundays blog. In just a few days Mr. Linky will be up so that we can start sharing inspiration/spiritual "good stuff".
