Contentedness is blessedness, (Hebrews “be content with what you have”, Paul “I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation”) but in this life it is hard to find contentment. It is difficult to be content when we are bombarded by images and slogans and advertisements that’s

Ron Jon Surf Shop has a commercial they used to run all the time. You may remember the ad saying, “Ron Jon Surf Shop, not one of many, but one of a kind.” Christians understand that Jesus Christ is not one of many, to fit in somewhere between Buddha, Mohammed, and Confucius. He is not one of many
