Avarice
Strange word.. I am wondering how many times I  have read that word without  
actually  knowing the meaning.. today I looked it up.. and it is about time. 
(excuse: no dictionary), but that is one that is no longer valid. I  have one 
in my smartphone to help  me with my spelling. 
Avarice as a word actually  describes the world I live in and helped create. 
'In what I have done and what I have failed to do!'   if nothing else look up 
the meaning of a word I didn't understand,  pretending  that I  knew and 
understood what was being said. 
The world or reality in which I live is a world filled with avarice to which I 
must  plead guilty of contributing to its creation.  I  just purchased a new 
smartphone for  the simple reason I  wanted a new phone to fulfill my greed.. I 
easily found reasons to justify my personal greed. 
Avarice is consuming our western christian culture. while claiming  to  be 
believers  and followers  of the great teacher Jesus.. as I justify my 
separation greed and need for things that tend to separate me from  truly  
following  the spiritual truths I have found and claim to hold dear.

Has  anyone  found my sign that reads "REPENT!"? I  seemed to have lost  it.

ah
