The Magic Roundabout

I don't really remember the original Magic Roundabout (I'm not as old as my face would suggest), but I'm pretty sure it wasn't an action-type cartoon. That's the beauty of the world we live in: we can take something that's been around for years and give a makeover.

Poor old Dougal's obsession with 'sweeties' very nearly kills his beloved Florence and dooms the rest of the world to a frosty fate.

Obviously, none of us are ever going to release an evil genius from his prison (or are we?), but sometimes our obsessions with all things material can have terrible consequences.

In Matthew 6.33 Jesus said:

33 Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.

So you see, we don't need to worry about things. All we need really to worry about is the Kingdom of God, and if we do that, we have his promise that he'll give us everything we need. (Notice it says need, not want, sorry about that).
