I have come to realize that are some things that I love in life. Clothes, hats, DVD's, cool electronic toys, books, etc. Yet, I have also come to realize two important facts about these thigns. 1) there is such a thing as too much of these things; 2) others can use your access for their lack. this is not a one man's junk ... sort of thing, but rather a truth. and i am not calling for people to get rid of all their worldly possessions. i ask for an honest estimation of what you NEED.
in the spirit of this, i plan to start reviewing all the material things that i have in excess. my goal is to find out what i need and what i use. from that i want to start to "trim the fat" as finance experts would say. get rid of the excess and give it to those that need those things. This will be a long, hard process to undertake, but i know that it is necessary to free me of material desires and because God has not called any of us to lives of rampant materialism. take what you need, give away what is left.
