Christmas Green...



I heard a convicting sermon from Imago Dei church in Portland a few years ago and this video sums it up pretty well. My main squeeze, Jackson, also discusses the issue in one of his latest columns. Are we willing to give up ipods and dvds, gift cards and new clothes? Or has the spirit of consumerism become greater than the spirit of true giving?

$450 Billion = Amount Americans spend on Christmas every year
$10 Billion = Clean Water for the World

I hope that makes you squirm.
