    • The desire for a more affluent life means parents spend on average just 49 minutes a day together with their children, according to this report worryingly 25% of 8-15 year old kids now say money is more important to them than their health
    • Which may not be too surprising seeing as nearly a quarter of parents put financial security as a higher priority for their children than happiness. The headlines from this IKEA report on play is well worth the read
    • Kevin DeYoung links to four of his sermons on generosity and here he looks at Micah 6:8
    • This is a helpful thing to read if you’ve got too much stuff (which you probably do). HT to my friend Jon who is putting it into practice by giving away some sci-fi books
    • Skye Jethani asks, has the Jumbo Jet made American Christians more pro-social justice?

    A few other items which made me think include

    • This from the Jubilee Centre on David Laws resignation
    • Did you know there is £25billion in unpaid taxes in the UK. Jeremy reckons that could help with the deficit

About

Phil WhittallI believe Jesus when he said 'life does not consist in the abundance of our possessions'. I believe he offers something better. This blog is mostly about that search.

I'm also a church pastor, a bookshop owner, a husband, a father, a keen runner, reader, and motorcyclist. These and a few other things make guest appearances from time to time.
