Have just watched the first half of this evening X-Factor. Now you may well think that there are much better things to do on a Saturday night - your probably right! None the less Rachel and I will watch the second half and see how the wannabe pop stars get on.
Watching it actually gives me a bit of a reality check! There was a girl on there earlier who dreamed of this big house that had been for sale for the last two years. It had electric gate and everything!!!! We could not help but get the gist that this girl really thought that having a house would really make her happy and give her kids the life she never had. Really - how many of us really have a house with electric gates? Please!
The reality check is this. How often do we even as Christians get caught in the trap that we think if we were just to have a bigger house or a better car then we would be happy. How happy has that gadget really made you?
Jesus in the beatitudes gives us an indication as to how we will really find true contentment and peace in this life. Have read and have (click here to read) a dig they may just surprise you and reveal the futility of putting our trust in stuff, rather than the everlasting God.

i was wondering to myself what was wrong with the house that it had been for sale for two years!! nx factor makes me sad for peoplebut also makes me laugh at them
You're right, but if i'm honest the though of a good laugh is the appeal of the programme!
