Faithchick: Coveting...

Coveting...

I am coveting. Seriously. Apple traffic is the bane of my existence. (I live in Cupertino.) So I think, because I must deal with their Prius infestation, as well as geeks on Segways during their lunch hours, Apple should reward me with a new iMac. I'm a good customer. I have an iMac from 2006 and a MacAir. I don't have an iPhone because I don't have any electricity in my hands, and can't work them. But still...I covet.

As I've gotten older, I covet less. I'm content with less and feel generally satisfied with all God's given me to care for in this lifetime. But see, I could justify that too because a faster computer would make me more effective and then I could spend more time with my family. Right? Okay, maybe I'd just surf the London Daily Mail faster. Let's be honest.

I'm such a guy this way. I covet computers and cars. And truly, I'd rather be in Fry's than Nordstrom's. We have a small house with four kids and a dog, in a place where so many have multi-million dolI'm content, but I am not completely immune. What do you covet?

When you are skinning your customers, you should leave some skin on to grow so that you can skin them again.

this hit a cord with me. I have been struggling with contentment lately..wanting wanting wanting, when I need nothing. i could be that we are in a get out of debt plan in our house...it's just like dieting I never really crave donuts until I cant have one because I am cutting the calories.
So I guess to answer your question...I'm coveting lotsa stuff..cloths and pedicures and facials, new shoes and week end getaways...oh I would like a pool too!
