Well, since we're off the subject anyway........have you guys noticed what Wal-Mart is? Think about the last days, when the Antichrist is in power, and you must take a mark for buying and selling. Seems to me, there better be ONE PLACE to have ALL the stuff we need. One place to buy our groceries, our household goods, our repair stuff, books, etc.....It would make more sense to have ONE PLACE to keep track of us and our buying wouldn't it? And it's gonna have an effective way of tracing our spending isn't it.

Have you noticed.....even the smallest of towns has a MEGA WAL-MART. It's not an accident. There going up everywhere, and running mom and pop shops out of business. But this shouldn't be a surprise. We like our STUFF these days!

I agree...there is one going up in Fremont...it is a pretty small town compared to most...and central location to most of the smaller towns around it. Hmmmmmmm.....you may have something here

Hi Angel H.

My best friend and her family drove from Texas to Iowa. I had made the above statement to her also. When she got back from her trip, she said she couldn't help notice ALL these little bitty towns with the Super Wal-marts being built, or already there. She hadn't thought about it before, but now having seen them, it made an impression.

In His Love,

I REALLY am starting to take note of how I view "STUFF". I mean really, how much do we depend on being able to BUY and SELL? I am beginning to note, that I have become too materialistic in terms of not denying myself. How do I behave when I go into Wal-mart? What does my shopping say about me? Should I be examining myself in terms of knowing the difference between my wants and needs?

(Sorry, just thinking and searching out loud)

What am I telling my children by HOW I shop? Are they getting a bad message? Are they learning that it's ok to buy things just because they want them? Or do they know the difference between wants and needs. I know this is a BIG discussion, but it is time we wake up to our idolatry today.

In His Love,

I'm sorry tsth. I didn't mean to get off topic. I saw something that had been bothering me and responded to it. I put my hand to typing before brain engaged that this was not the topic being discussed.

We live in the country though and have 4 very small towns one on each side of us. They are all within 30 miles of us and each have a Super Walmart.

I totally agree with you, and I wont go off the beaten path too much, But I'll tell ya one thing for certain; the retail giants are very much watching your shopping habits.

through "prefered customer discount cards" credit cards, checks just to name a few.

You seem to have a keen insight to whats going on already.

God bless

That's ok Dove........there's so many important topics to discuss, and they are ALL valid! They need to be examined.

Amen JG2, this is the truth.

I do agree with One Accord's post on the product. It is in the way we read words. The first letter and the last letter being intact. That amazed me when I finally understood it.

Tsth you brought up a very good subject what are we telling our children today and that goes for our grandchildren also. I have always bought and bougt for them. Not because they needed it but because they wanted it.

This was ingrained in me to buy from my parents who came out of the depression. They were frugal, but didn't want my twin brother and I to go without any small item that our little hearts desired.

I have passed this on to my children and children's children. Hopefully, after your post I will be able to remedy that type of spending. My grandchildren never come to me with needs because they have all of their needs and most of their wants met by their parents. They only come to me with wants. If I don't give them what they want then they go to Gary and he never turns them down on anything. Well, after this post, All wants will not be met. Thanks for opening my eyes.
