This year, despite terrible economic conditions, Black Friday spending was up 3%. As many of you may have seen in the headlines, the rush to buy discounted TV’s, computers and other things lead to the trampling death of Jdimypai Damour, a Wal-Mart seasonal employee in Long Island, NY. So I guess the question I’m trying to ask is, how do we handle this as Christians? I see a lot of stuff saying buy less, which is probably a good thing, but most of us will still be in the stores buying gifts. Where were the people trying to help Jdimypai after he was knocked over? Most news accounts say people didn’t stop to help. How can we take a consumer event like a busy shopping day and use it to show how Christians are supposed to live differently? Picketing doesn’t count. http://navpress.com/store/product.aspx?id=9781576831663 2008-07-24T19:44:10-05:00 Your Money and Your Life. MONEY—WE LOVE IT...WE HATE IT! It makes our lives easier.

So asks Dan Edelen in a blog post from early last year. He wants to know why Christian blogs, bookstores, and churches are full of talk about just about every imaginable topic… but seem strangely silent about the third person of the Trinity.
