You can never have enough of what you don’t need to make you happy…. Especially if ‘Planned Obsolescence’ is involved! This Sunday video is a little sermon for adults and kids alike.
Have you noticed how some of the tools for daily living – appliances, cars, and of course tablets and phones – seem to expire just as ‘new and improved’ versions hit the market?

How many of the things in our homes are our children likely to pass on to their children?
