We must be acutely aware of those areas and protect ourselves from being choked by those thorns. Jeffrey: Eric Mok!? Haha you must be from Queen's then. Pleased to meet ya and hope you enjoy your stay at my lil blog here:) julieH:

My observation, in general, has been that guys are no less materialistic then girls, it just has to do with different things. Guys tend to covet the latest/greatest/coolest of cars, electronic devices, video games, cable subscriptions, computers, music, cell phone technology (do you remember the recent iPhone release?), or even the best personal libraries. Materialism is an equal opportunity offense that both genders must repent of. julieH Hey Alex!

Leung Fri, 05 Oct 2007 14:31:11 +0000 http://www.sixsteps.org/2007/10/05/get-out-now/#comment-1742 Thanks for your comment, Jeff. "Real treasures" reminds me of Col 3: <blockquote>"If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth."</blockquote> And also Matthew 6:19-22: <blockquote>“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.</blockquote> I guess I could have cross-referenced these in my post, but I was a bit nearsighted and only focused on Mark while writing that. And do I know you from somewhere? Have I met you personally? Thanks for your comment, Jeff.
