Defining Waste
Being wasteful is a personal thing. Most of us have been guilty of it more often than we’re willing to admit. But it is a personal thing. What is extravagant for one person is necessary for another. Of course we all have our definitions of what is necessary too.
It’s understood that even the average American is wealthy when compared to the population of the world at large.
I read an article recently about Martha Stewart’s three iPads, two Blackberrys, one iPhone, and two Cannon cameras. It seems ridiculous when you read it. She carries an iPhone just to take pictures? That may or may not be totally accurate, and she may actually need all eight of those electronic devices.
It’s probably not a bad idea for all of us to take inventory of our stuff from time to time, and instead of coming up with our own definition of waste or excess, ask God to define it for us.
What I’d like to know, is what kind of bag does Martha Stewart carry all that in?
