The marketing of this age could easily be summed up in one word: “more.” The world tells us we should always want more, strive for more, and if we’re not getting more, then we are a failure. There are countless Bible passages that speak to the error of this way of thinking, but one story I believe shows it better than any memorized verse can enlighten.

When we believe that we are good by our own accord, we must remember that it only took one generation - from Adam

There is a show on Netflix starring Jerry Seinfeld called “Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee” whose premise is exactly as the title states. It is a pretty good show! In one episode I watched recently, Jerry drove a unique car whose windshield could fold down, allowing the driver to feel the rush of wind, unabated, as he drove.
