Class summary 11.14.2010

6 of 10 things from the book:

Buy things for their usefulness rather than their status:
Don't believe the hype that life will be happier with a certain purchase.
Use what you buy and throw it out when it's worn out.
Leave room for extravagance using our resources wisely does not mean never splurging.
Give to you church generously
Enjoy what you have as a gift from God

Tip about baby names

One of the resources that Jennifer and I found tremendously helpful when we were picking out baby names was the Social Security website where you can go to find the most popular baby names every year for the past 150+ years. We wanted to find names that actually sounded like names, but that weren't very popular anymore, so we looked at what was popular in the 1920's and found some real gems!

Just a tip!

Class summary 11.7.2010

Two competing things:

1. We are made in God's image.
2. We live in a world of materialism

Solomon had experienced a lot of things and said that it was all meaningless.

The conclusion of the matter: "fear god and keep his commands"
