The Nikon D90... I've never been filled with so much lust for such a material object, and that's saying something coming from me... Seriously, with each day that passes my d90-less self I get weaker and weaker... >_ < God I wish I had £650!! *Bored*

In a week, Americans will go to the polls, if they haven't already and vote for president. In other news, water is wet and the sky is blue. Seriously, if you don't know when the election is and you read...are supposed to be about and yet, here we are, given them too much attention. And the race only gets crazier from here. So it is written, so do I see it. PS I was up too late writing this, kill me

Miserliness is against Spirit. Spirit is extremely generous, extremely generous. It never tries to save something, or cheat people, or steal something, it is out of question.

[ Here, we see Greed standing in front of a rather...not-destroyed Devil's Nest. Happy happy funtiemz. ] Good god- damn that took longer than I thought it would.

So I will leave you with this question.    Does your happiness come from the things here on the Earth? Or does the happiness you have come from being a servant of the Lord?
