Black Toilet Paper


Black Toilet Paper!!

More doesn't always mean better. We certainly have access to more music today than at any other time in history. It doesn't mean its better. We are deluged with news from a multitude of sources but it doesn't make it better. American's are infected with a very contagious disease. Affluenza, is the empty feeling we get when we expend exorbitant amounts of effort trying to keep up with the Joneses. We can now buy customized m&m's with our name and picture on them for $100 a bag.An oil Sheik in Saudi Arabia owns a car made of silver. (is this an urban legend?)Thomas Pinnau works for Mars Candy Company: His title is VP of Indulgence. (Honestly)A company in Tasmania, the island off the southern coast of Australia, catches rain water that formed while crossing Antarctica and 10,000 miles of ocean and they sell it for $25 a bottle.Upscale New York restaurants and clubs provide Renova Black for their customers. Its black toilet paper that sells for $15 per roll. Everyone is selling us things we don't need and no one is selling us what we really need., We should take some advice from the greatest economic genius to ever live. No, not Warren Buffet. Not Barack Obama or even Bill Gates. Jesus said more about economics in his ministry than any other topic save the kingdom of God. He put it all in a nutshell for us.Matthew 6:24 "No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money."
