In a recent sermon, I shared with you about having to purchase a new watch. In times past I would have gotten the watch repaired. However, the cost of repairing the watch would have been the same as purchasing a new one. Therefore, I purchased a new one. It seems that we have shifted from a mindset of repairing broken things to tossing them out and replacing them. Sometimes this makes sense when we are dealing with a watch. However, it never makes sense when we are dealing with people. I fear that we now live in a disposable society with values that have negatively impacted even our relationships.
