Attended a christian college, I had a definite culture shock when I returned to NYS. Outhouses,sleddogs yapping in the neighborhood,riding a snowmachine or skiing to school was the norm. I remember shopping in malls and cable TV when I returned. All my friends were still drinking and drugging .the same as when I left. I remember an evangelist encouraged us to practice " living like a missionary". I have never forgotten that. I had no TV for 11 years and don't have cable now. If I could live in levis,clogs and a chunky sweater ,short hair I would be happy as a lark! I think as Christ followers we all could live alot more simply than we do. I never saw a hearse pulling a U -haul. Materilaism is a problem for american christians No doubt about it If riches increase were not to set our heart on them right? I liked you article and understood what you are saying. You can be poor and have everything. It is hard for the rich to enter the kingdom ... I lived and worked in rural Alaska for a time.
