Technology has evolved to a place where one would think that with all there is to offer we could find happiness; we have so many choices for phones, computers, cars, games, but the opposite is true.  Everywhere I look I see so many unhappy people, so many angry people, so many impatient people, even with all that we have at our fingertips, all the electronics, the instant messaging, the Social Networks keeping us in touch with family and friends, the media and political promises for our future, the sports toys, express traffic lanes, On Demand television: with everything that we have there still remains the feeling and harboring of discontent.  Well, then, I suppose the old adage " Money can't buy you happiness" is true.  We may not want to believe it and can agrue that money can be a vehicle to happiness, a platform, can help make one content; there are probably a lot of arguements you can come up with to disprove the saying and I am sure I can find some reasonable arguements too.   But really, all money can buy you is time before you realize you aren't happy; look at the Charlie Sheen melt-downs and the Lindsy Lohan saga. Money can't buy you love or peace, or joy; those feelings have to come from within.  You can't have peace or joy without knowing the true meaning of love, which is where having a relationship with God, our Creator, comes in.  Without God in the picture, life is abstract, there is no clear path.  I won't say that with God in your life, everything is sunshine and roses, but there is a path, a Way, the Truth and there is light.   And Hope.  Hope that shines eternal.  There is love, a love that you have never known before; a love that will never leave you or forsake you.   A love that will be with you all the way down the path and up again.  A love that will carry you when the Way becomes too hard.  He'll even provide a resting place.  Have no clue how to get there?  Call 1-800-NeedHim.
