welcome to multiple strands

a place to converse, virtually, on a variety of topics, bringing together multiple strands to encourage, question, challenge, ponder, and edify. A cord of three strands is not quickly torn apart. (Eccl. 4.12)

live lightly: a reflection

Woe to him who heaps up what is not his own—
for how long?—
and loads himself with pledges!
- Habakkuk 2.6

Am I like this, living in the affluent West, with my possessions and financial accounts, reading on a device rather than paper book, built on the backs of poor brethern in other parts of the world?  Lord, help me to live lightly and in wisdom.
