To: Mr. Silverback
An aquaintance of mine just won nearly $750,000.00 playing slots in a casino. As I consider the situation I am envious. Glad for the guy, but envious. It's a real test as far as I'm concerned.

What matters most? How much is my eyesight worth? My reason and senses? My family? Alas, I am dissatisified with the simple gifts God has given so freely and crave the goods of my neighbor as if these will make everything in life just fine.

Shame on me.

Shame on me.

Admitting the sin is the first step to rooting it out and killing it. Shame instead on those of us who never stop to wonder whether we are grateful enough to a God who loves us so much.
