Bobby here, just chiming in to share a slice o' life from my point-of-view. Here's the prayer I used to tuck in the boys tonight...
*****************************
Dear Lord in Heaven,
Thank you for our house, our family, and our happy life. But please use your almighty power to smite down this temple of irrational consumerism. The worshipers of the false idol TARGET have built a new altar dedicated to schlepping low-grade middle-class stuff of questionble necessity. They have turned away from your wisdom, o' Lord. Will they find salvation in trendy logo tees, towel racks, linens and bedding adorned with popular cartoon characters, and other disposable household goods? Will a caramel macchiatto quench a thirsty soul? The mere mention of Balboa & San Fernando sends my lovely wife in a drooling, cash-fueled blood frenzy. Please do something - time, and money - is running out.
Your frugal disciples,
Bobby, the boys, and the family checkbook
PS: if you do pencil-in a smiting, please forgive the Xbox aisle. Salvation is always found in mashing buttons...

Dear Lord,
Please forgiveth all of us who sinneth against you AND OUR FELLOW BROTHERS unknowingly. Especially forgiveth my wonderful brother-in-law Bobby who knoweth not what he sayeths. (He really doesn't God.) Forgiveth him because the moment my sister in Christ and blood (Sisters by fate, friends by choice. Awww!) gives him a new Lego toy, X-Box game, or warm-yet-stylish-and-professional-sweater-that-says-I'm-a-go-getter (Oh yeah, please bless Isaac Mizarahi...and forgive me for misspelling his name) he will wanteth to taketh back the lashing he hath given toward the innocent mecca that is Target, reborn into our lives (just like a living example of Jesus' power with Lazarus. See, I get it God. Doesn't that score me a bonus point or a Target gift card or something??!) only to add a little more happines and sunshine into our lives. Thanks you Almight and Powerful Lord who built the temple in three days...Ooops, I mean, who helped build the Target just in time for the holiday season. You're good!
In your name we pray...eth!
Gaby
P.S. And there is absolutely no need to ever wish any harm to any of those cute, yet affordable little purses, baguettes and clutches. Hmmmff!
