Black Friday

I've never really liked Black Friday.

A day where we boost the self-esteem of some of the worst companies in the world, just to get "good" deals.

I recently went to a mall (shocking huh?), and walked around mostly. I observed people shopping, hanging out, and and "looking". It reminded me o something my little brother said about his realization of what happens at the mall; "People go to the mal just to walk around?!". I've never been prouder of him than at that moment...He didn't understand what modern america did for entertainment.

We go to the mall to be entertained by what we can buy! Even in my own life i find myself going somewhere just to SEE what i could possibly (well...) buy. Judging by the amount of people i know that do go to the mall to just to look at things i think i'm observing a very scary trend...

We no longer entertain ourselves with an experience of something fulfulling but, feed off of what we can't have.

We entertain ourselves with he desire to have more...It feels like a type of lust to me. America entertains itself with lust! We read magazines, go to stores, search the internet for things possible to buy!

How does God say we should entertain ourselves?

Well, I'm pretty sure its not lusting after what we could buy. We see large holidays for fellowship, consumsion and joyful experience. It had to do with what we do/did and actually being in the experience. Music is a wonderul avenue because you are experiencing and creating, something i believe God gave us for entertainment.

How much do you entertain yourself with things you could buy rather than an actual experience of something good?
