this week we've been reflecting on the spiritual discipline of frugality...
interesting that Thomas doesn't say "be happy with less". rather his encouragement is an intentionality: always choose to have less rather than more.
poverty, and the indignity and brokenness it can result in is not the aim of a simple life. There is little choice, little intentionality in situations of desperate poverty.
but to choose to have less rather than more... ah, well now we're speaking about another group of people!
