Several years ago, I attended a college graduation ceremony where Marion Wright Edelman, founder of the Children's Defense Fund, shared her belief that too many in our society are afflicted with the dis-ease of what she referred to as "affluenza." Dr. Edelman intimated that "affluenza" is the state in which we possess too much that is worth too little. During this Thanksgiving season, let us reflect on areas of our lives affected by "affluenza," and commit ourselves to using our relative affluence in ways that are a blessing to God and one another.
