I went to IKEA today. I've never been to an IKEA before, and I was awestruck by the unending square footage of the place. You should never ever go to IKEA if your apartment is empty, just as you should never go to a grocery store when you are hungry, or else everything looks good. I was sorely tempted to purchase no less than a half dozen pieces, including tables, shelves, and cabinets. Miraculously, I left IKEA with only one piece of furniture: a glass coffee table.
In church, we talked about what life is supposed to be like, the world that God envisioned before Sin entered the world. It was supposed to be paradise. God gave us stewardship of the earth, and what have we done with it? We've filled the earth, and ruled over it. Has our rule been good for the planet? Not at all. God gave us so many gifts, and we've squandered so many... It makes me sad. But isn't the world a reflection of our personal lives as well? We're given many gifts and opportunities in life, but do we waste it?
I think we all have faith, in something. We have to, to be able to keep going. Otherwise, what can you believe in?
