Today's Newpaper reported a certain Callie Rogers, who had hit the covers of nation-wide newspapers as the second-youngest winner of the lottery in the UK at the age of 16, had gone from everyone's hero and idol to a zero. Now, 6 yrs after that seemingly fortunate day she struck the 1.9 mil pounds cashprize, she is now a bankrupt.
That set me thinking... Does having more necessarily make you happier? Does owning more possessions and power make you happier? In essence, in this day and age that we live in, is having 'more' necessarily more? Or... does having less mean a more fulfilling life?
Yes, the short-lived, fleeting feeling of happiness with money and worldly possessions is great.. But that is all but the right path in the pursuit of REAL joy and happiness.
Let us want less from the world and more from God...

My dad has been writing a book precisely on point with this blog, I have emailed him the web address so perhaps he could pick up a couple pointers. Fantastic Job.
