I was doing some research for a talk I was giving on the widows mite
I found that most of the world lives on 10.00 a day, and half lives on 2.50 a day.
Also in a 2007 report the average American lived on 54.00 a day.
Compared to the world, we in America, live pretty well.
I wonder if I could live on 2 dollars for a day. Well that’s the plan for tomorrow.
I don’t plan on spending over two dollars. Not sure if i can but I dont want to be rich on this side of eternity and beg on the other side.

Last Day - Reading thru the NT in 30 days
Ephesians - Philippians
Cant wait to start a new reading plan tomorrow - Looks like Psalms and Proverbs
- You dont have to impress G-d, He choose you before the foundations of the world
- But G-d..... (i love that)
- What calling are you walking worthy of?
- Take off the old man, and change into the new one.
- As a Christ follower you watch what comes out of your mouth.
- Dont hang around unfruitful works of darkness
- Stop being Selfish
- It takes maturity to let go anf press on. ---->

Day 20 - Reading thru the NT in 30 days
I think the point in the book of Revelation is
• Know G-d and have your name written in the Lambs Book of Life
• If not. Oh boy!
• He is coming quickly! Keep watch
Two Books Left

Counsumerism
How do you fight against consumerism
•Giving – time, treasure, talents, touch.
When you give you take the spotlight off you
Consumerism is all about you.
•Buy things for their usefulness rather than their status.
•Reject anything that is producing an addiction in you.
•Learn to enjoy things without owning them.
•Develop a deeper appreciation for the creation.
•Look with a healthy skepticism at all “buy now, pay later” schemes.
•Reject anything that breeds the oppression of others.
•Shun anything that distracts you from seeking first the kingdom of God.

Day 19 - Reading thru the NT in 30 days
Revelation 1-11
It seems G-d is more interested with love, faithfulness, purity, endurance, obedience, repentance then He is with your works.
It always amazes me to read the events in revelation.
