How many close friends do you have?
Well, it turns out, Americans' lists
of close friends has shrunk down to two, reduced from three soul mates 25 years
ago, a new study suggests.
But how much floor space do you live
in?
The National Association of Home
Builders reports that the median size for a new single family home in 2003 was
about 2,070 square feet. Family size has
decreased almost 25 percent over the past 30 years; however the size of new
houses has increased about 50 percent, to slightly more than 2,300 square feet
today, up from 1,500 square feet in the 1990s.
It turns out that quite possibly all
signs point to the fact that Americans have egregiously evolved over the past 20
years of the technology revolution. In
spite of Facebook and Twitter we have less focus on friends and more emphasis
on space, materialism and collecting things.
In Matthew 6:19, Jesus said: “Do not
store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and
where thieves break in and steal.”
1 Timothy 6:7 also speaks, “For we
brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it.”
Come, store up treasures in
heaven! The next Servants of the Father

the 70,000 + homeless living in Southern California is . . .
