I don’t like to think of myself as a materialistic person but driving away from the Highway 12 East storage complex, I could hardly come to any other conclusion. For nine years, I paid $37 a month to store things I hadn’t used in nearly a decade. Add it up – nine years at $444 a year comes to $3,996. Now that’s hardly what I would call good stewardship.

“Then he [Jesus] said to them, ‘Watch out!
Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.’”

— Luke 12:15

Lord Jesus, save us from our greedy selves before we drown in all this stuff. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
