I’ve been thinking alot about this whole “black Friday” thing and it’s caused me to wonder. People start shopping at certain stores at midnight for the best deals while the rest of the country decides to sleep in until 3 a.m. Sure it’s fun going out and saving a lot of money on expensive gifts, but in the long run it kind of saddens me to see how everyone gets so hyped up about this unofficial holiday but don’t for a holiday that marks an eternal event that saved my life, your life, your childrens lives etc. It’s unbelievable how people get more excited about black Friday than they do about Good Friday. Nobody wakes up at midnight to read their Bible or just talk to God on Good Friday (or any other day of the week for that matter). How is it that we as Christians can get so caught up in the material things that are here NOW and not the things that will last FOREVER? I’ve been guilty of this too, but how can we fix it? It’s like what michael say, “people ALWAYS find money to fund whats important to them”, and usually and that importance isn’t the church. Good Friday marks the day that Jesus Christ died for us, to be sacrificed only to rise from the dead. Black Friday is a day where we wrestle in a store to get the last Malibu Barbie.
