Because we spend our lives pursuing the "Good things in Life" or the "Luxuries" we often lose sight of what really matters - and how simple our needs are.

For far too long just about everyone has been worshipping that false god money and what it can bring. For example they jump on jets and fly the world to see the 'must see' view! The most spectacular sight I think I ever saw was on England's North Sea Coast as the sun set and the moon and the stars rose. It was probably the most perfect view I have ever seen. We were staying in a very cheap caravan for a short break, so the view didn't cost a penny extra. 20 years later I still remember it perfectly! Yes, there are places I would love to see, but I bet few people have really appreciated what we saw that night!
