More is Less, Less is More

As Corey does his computer programming, sometimes he hits road block and is stuck about what to do in the computer code.  During one moment of being stuck last week, he does what he often does and turned into the news to try to help as he figuratively bangs his head on the wall.  Part of the news that day was the latest of reality tv's Bachlorette show.  So he let me know what's going on there, and it's interesting.  I'm sure I could let it suck many hours of my life away if I didn't fight it.  It's like our modern version of the Hunger Games.  If we yield to our "natural man", we'll want more more more of what Hollywood seeks to entertain us with.  And sadly the natural man will never get enough of it. 

"You'll never get enough of what you don't need, cause what you don't need never satisfies."  - Mary Ellen Edmunds

Less is more.  Less of the world will give us more of the spirit of God.  Less Babylon will build more of Zion.  Let's strive for more holiness, not more drama.  More gospel study, more doctrine.  Less tv and less Hollywood.  More of that which edifies and inspires, less of that which is meaningless and is quickly forgotten.  Spend your time on that which will improve you and make you better.
