	Friday, February 29, 2008 Verse of the Day: 'Whatever my eyes desired I did not keep from them' Whatever my eyes desired I did not keep from them; I kept my heart from no pleasure, for my heart found pleasure in all my toil, and this was my reward for all my toil. Then I considered all that my hands had done and the toil I had spent in doing it, and again, all was vanity and a chasing after wind, and there was nothing to be gained under the sun. - Ecclestiastics 2:10-11 + Sign up to receive our social justice verse of the day via e-mail posted by God's Politics @ 9:45 AM \| Permalink \| Comments (1) \| Add to: Add to Del.icio.us Add to Technorati Add to Digg Add to Newsvine Category: Daily News Digest (by Duane Shank) Home I Love My Name (by Omar Al-Rikabi)

That verse is so apt for me today. I have just invested in a new computer; I think it was really necessary--my present one appears to be dying. But it is hurting my pocketbook. I've had to make a resolution, and not giving up something for Lent. No more impulse buying of books online. No more magazine subscriptions for a long time to come: my mailbox is already overstuffed. So many of my purchases have really been "vanity."
