Put Something In the Bag

as a little child whenever my mother and I went to the store she would give me that lecture which I had to endure "don't ask for nothing, don't touch nothing, be quiet and always stay near" but as a child in a store this I did not wish to hear eventually I would come to ask,"can I please put something in the bag?" the marketing and business strategies of the advertising companies are specifically designed to target the young demographic entity sell to the youth, appeal to the young, make it fashionable for the teens make them put something in the bag so the cash register can go cha-ching but life is more than the lastest pair of jeans you want to style it's about putting something in the bag that is worthwhile a college degree, a scholarship, your faith in the Lord Christ it's time to put something in the bag that will bring meaning to your life to put in the bag the Gospel of Peace and not those new Air Jordan's on your feet to be outfitted in the Breastplate of Righteousness and not the lastest Baby Phat designer dress to pick up the Spirit of the Sword and not that car you can barely afford it's time to put something precious and special in the bag and no longer to gravitate towards expensive designer rags so put something in the bag, the bag that is your life it's time to get the greatest gift and that is the Gospel of Jesus the Christ
