Extreme couponing

By now you may have seen the new show on TLC called Extreme Couponing. I have to admit while I knew it would be exaggerated I was really disappointed in what I consider to be a lot of sensationalism. I also found the first woman just straight up sad to watch. She is clearly ill, and her shopping looks a lot like hoarding. She cannot possibly use all that stuff before it goes bad. I'm all for saving money, and I even like stockpiling, but there are very few things I would even consider stockpiling for more than a year. In fact I take inventory at the end of each year, figure out what I have in excess and donate it. There is no reason for example to hoard a lifetime supply of toothpaste. It DOES expire. Why not donate it to the woman's shelter instead?  Some of this just looked downright greedy I'm sorry to say. It reminds me of how gamblers get a high off the win. These people clearly get the same high off the free items. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy free items too, I just don't do it to the point that I can't use it and neither can anyone else. Here is a great article on some more thoughts on the show.

The cause within you

There is a new book coming out by Matthew Barnett. I hope you check it out. I have included a link to amazon. Here is a description of the book.

Whether we realize it or not, each of us was created for a great cause—and we will never be truly fulfilled until we find and pursue it. Matthew Barnett, son of a well-known megachurch pastor, discovered his great cause when he relinquished his dream of building a big, successful church like his father’s and began listening for God’s dream for his life. Sensing that God was calling him to serve the poor and powerless of Los Angeles, Matthew founded the Dream Center, a beacon of hope for homeless families, drug addicts, abused women and children, victims of human trafficking, teen runaways, gang members, and many others whose lives were filled with brokenness.
If you are hungry for a life full of passion instead of apathy; if you are ready to use your specific gifts and abilities to make a mark on the world; if you need to be reminded that God loves you and has a plan for your life—The Cause Within You is the book that can change everything. Through his own story and the stories of others whose lives have been transformed, Matthew Barnett will lead you to the cause of your lifetime
