The rabble with
them began to crave other food, and again the
Israelites started wailing and said, "If only we
had meat to eat! We remember the fish we ate in
Egypt at no cost - also the cucumbers, melons,
leeks, onions and garlic. But now we have lost
our appetite; we never see anything but this
manna!" Numbers 11:4-6

Have you ever wondered how
much stuff you would really have if it
weren't for mass media? There are many
things I never knew existed, and certainly
didn't realize I needed, until the marketing
department brought it to my attention.
Commercials, billboards, advertisements, and
unsolicited phone calls, all serve to fuel
our fires of discontent. We are made to
believe that everything would be great if I
only had product X, Y, or Z. Maybe learning
to be content in all situations is just
that, a learning experience. Experiencing
God's peace when the world says we should be
miserable communicates more than any
advertising campaign.
