Homily From Father Sam

Father Sam's short sermon this morning was interesting and kept me alert. Last week's homily with a different priest was rough for me. I probably didn't get enough sleep (but I usually don't get enough sleep) and kept dozing off. It's been over 12 hours and I still remember this morning's sermon.

Anyway, the point was that we Americans always buy STUFF. The only reason we have have a home is to keep our stuff. If our house is full, we use our garages for storage. If our garages are full, we rent storage space. (Seems like storage companies pop up every 3 years). If we have stuff, we just want more.

He recalled a time when stores were closed on Sundays. Sundays were used primarily for worship and football. (Got lots of laughs here). Most important was church and prayer of course. Nowadays, people can buy stuff on Sundays or 24 hours anyday.

People should stop worrying about having more stuff and instead use the time to do what matters: get together with family.

Ironic that I have ads all over this blog to defeat what the priest was preaching.

Anyway, just remember to keep in mind to spend as much time with family and less time buying and showing off your material things.
