Wow. Well, the message I got from it is pretty much sumarized in your next post! ;) That we need to be teaching our kids that having stuff is not what life is about. I love the end, where it is teenagers that are reaching out to other teens. Is it wrong to have an ipod? No, i think not. Is it wrong to have the overall attitude that 'i deserve so much more' I think so. I think when we can look outside of our own wants and see that others have real needs that we can be a part of fulfilling, then we will begin to really live. Having more stuff is not going to fulfill us, ever. Living a life that is in line with the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven...that is where real fulfillment comes from. That's what I took from it.
