How much stuff??

Tuesday October 4, Philippians 3: I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, Our economic system is driven by spending. I just read the other day that one of the economic fears is that as fuel prices go up, people may start to cut back on spending and may even move from a pattern of negative spending to saving. We as a people want and want more and our very economy is based on getting more and more stuff. How does all that stuff compare to the greatness of knowing Christ Jesus as Lord? How much of your stuff gets in the way?
