Went down to Sacramento today. Everyone was rushing around. Trouncing their accelerators, then slamming on the brakes at the next red light. All for the love of hurry up and wait. :) Its craziness, ya know? The rat race I mean. Only today's society is not only fast-paced, but incredibly materialistic. I'm thinking it's time we call it the packrat race. Not only do people scurry madly about like those nasty little rodents, but it's all about stocking their precious treasure troves. Hoarding assorted paraphernalia with which to line their nests. Don't get me wrong, some of that stuff is great, and it's no crime to have the things you need and even some you want. But people are out of control. When they live for nothing but amassing goods, while neglecting important things like their family and their faith...it's just..idiotic! The stuff is all gonna burn anyway. It would be a vast improvement to spend the time on what really matters. The worth of the world pales in light of the eternal. After all, gold is just pavement in heaven!  ¶ 9:54 PM
