The Gospel appointed for today: (Luke 12:13-21)”...Then Jesus said to them, “Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.” Then He spoke a parable to them, saying:”The ground of a certain rich man yielded plentifully. And he thought within himself, ‘What shall I do, since I have no room to store my crops?...I will pull down my barns and build greater, and there I will store all my crops and my goods. And I will say to my soul, ‘Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry.’” But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?’
So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”
Good point.
It sounds as if Mr. Steger is trying to keep up with the Joneses, which is a fool’s errand. It also seems like he enjoys his job, so there is no reason to quit, but if he is still unhappy, then he is ignoring the most important part of his life— his relationship with God and with his family and friends.
You beat me to it...
