So two months ago Laura and I splurged on the iPhone 3G; I love my phone. It does everything I could ever imagine a phone doing. This week, Apple introduced their NEW phone, the iPhone 3GS. It's almost the same, only faster and with a better processor and battery. I've been looking for hoops I can jump through to try to get this thing; it's better! It has a couple features my current phone doesn't have! Holy crap! Then I started thinking about what I was doing, and went to find a Bible verse that fit it. The perfect verse:

"Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said,
'Never will I leave you;
never will I forsake you.'"

~ Hebrews 13:5

This fits perfectly. I have an expensive gadget that does WAY more than any phone I've ever had...I can either lust after the new gadget and go crazy trying to find a way to get it, OR I can be happy with what I have, realizing that there are a lot of people that don't get to have a phone at all, and there are even some people that don't get to have a house or a car! I am VERY fortunate to be in the situation I'm in. If a scenario presents itself where I can upgrade the phone for a minimal price, then I might be interested, but for now, I'm going to be happy with all God has blessed me with: a beautiful wife, a new home, four great pets, and great friends and family!
