Within the 10 commandments God tells us not to worship other gods...I believe the material things fall under that category.
Our Big Book states spiritual progress
MUST precede material gain. Watching many persons ion the 24 hours I have been on this journey I believe that to be a spiritual truth.

What I find to be extremely fun is a day of shopping in the thrift stores. I have 2 ladies that come to visit from California who share my idea of fun. When they come..we make a day of it.. those stores are a tremendous savings. There are times I find brand new items in the thrift stores to give as gifts.
