Weekly Faith Booster 60, November 20, 2009 Word for the week:
“Let not yours be the outward adorning...let it be the hidden person of the heart…” [1st Peter 3:3-4] Thought for the week:
There are times when what is in fashion may attract who you are, but who you are should not be determined by what’s in fashion.
Fashion is a great driver and feeder of identity. Being “fashionable” carries the impression of one who is informed, young, relevant and “in touch.” One who is unfashionable strikes the impression of one who is old and unaware. But being trendy also carries the image of one who is consumed with an intent to impress. Fashion places worth on external affirmation, locating value and self worth in the physical aspect which makes heads turn and hands touch.
The unfashionable ones feel as people who have sunk into themselves. They are even perceived as unuseful. They come across as unaware of the present; their minds have traveled and stuck in another time. Being fashionable also has a status impact in that it makes one look wealthy while the unfashionable one looks financially challenged.

Weekly Faith Booster59b, 13th November 2009 Word for the week:
“For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it.”(Luke 9:24) Thought for the week:
The one who loves living loves giving. No matter your accumulations of wealth, knowledge, talent, intellect, power – if you do not understand these endowments in the dimension of giving them and lovingly sharing them with others, you are poor. Imagine a world where the staggering majority is a mean-spirited people, people not only unfamiliar with giving but who despise giving and work hard to guard and even nurture their ungiving nature. That world would surely die. There could exist so called self-contained houses but there is no such thing as self-contained living. We are wired to need each other. That is just the way it is. One who sets out to eliminate their need for others ends up eliminating themselves.
