What do people usually do during their weekends? There can be many different things really, but very many love shopping. In Sweden shopping is perhaps not that great as it is in New York, London or Paris, but here shopping has developed into something almost unique. People travel from all over the country to a small village named Ullared, where they shop 'til they drop. It is a very affordable place to go to and people line up for hours. There is a live TV that you can follow on Internet and people will do almost everything to get caught on that TV while lining up for hours before they can enter the big mall. They even made a reality TV show out of this last fall where viewers could follow different families and their trips, vacations going shopping. Shania Twain has a song about shopaholic.

I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners" Mark 2:17 Did Jesus turn out like one of the sinners!? No.. If we spend time with people with bad influence, spending time at not appropriate places, we can get effected in a , for us bad way. However, it could be the other way around. We could by our way of thinking and living effect them. People in general don't do what we say, they do what we do. I heard a story of a pastor who asked his congre
