09.07Mary J. BLING
The following quote is from here
Mary J. Blige says she has found religion, but she makes no apologies for her earthly materialism. In fact, she says God has willed her to wear bling.
“My God is a God who wants me to have things,” the singer tells May’s Blender magazine. “He wants me to bling. He wants me to be the hottest thing on the block. I don’t know what kind of God the rest of y’all are serving, but the God I serve says, ‘Mary, you need to be the hottest thing this year, and I’m gonna make sure you’re doing that’.”
I don’t think Mary and I serve the same God. What do you think?
I always read her name as Mary J Bilge… which gives it a slightly different meaning.

Hey – I loved your links in your last statement to the Bible verses – way cool.
Yeah – it’s pretty sad isn’t it.

I suspect it’s a sign of our age Ruth! Are you starting to feel old?

Indeed the problem isn’t wealth itself but our human heart that makes ‘bling’ so dangerous and an idol instead of the true living God
