a camel through the eye of a needle
so...
crazy thing today, but first some background
I lost alot to Katrina.
clothes- all but 1 pair of shoes, (i recently bought a cheap pair of mochisons, yeah i cant spell for crap)all but 2 pair of jeans, all my dress clothes, and pretty much every jacket and "accessory" i owned
electronics- all but my psp, and i brought that cause i can get internet access w/ it. (ps2, computer, tv, games, dvds, cds... everything)
books & comics
guitars-(luckily my main set up minus some effects pedals and wires was at the church safe, so that is one of like 3 things that i have, the others being my car and psp)
basicly alot of crap.
well....
i went to play racquet ball the other day (super fun!), and noticed that Chucks arent the best athletic shoe.
so, i went to journeys to buy some sauconys, cause i owned some b4 katrina, and i knew they worked as athletic and everyday shoes.
on another note ive been really thinking about matthew 19:16-28 for about the last year or 2...
and ive come to this conclusion:
i have nothing, yet i have more than most have.
i mean that not only cause i have more possessions still than most, but also because i have Christ in my heart, my Sisters and family are ok, and im healthy.
maybe i dont need more crap.
buying these shoes made me feel bad, although they werent terribly expensive and i need shoes...
well, @ church today they asked (in a very suprising, and ground-breaking move) everyone to take off their shoes and give them to the church to send to katrina victims and africa. there was more to it than that, and if youre hung up on that tell me and i'll further explain.
but this kinda struck me. should i give my chucks? i have only 2 pairs of real shoes now, as the mochisons dont have hard soles...
but i decided i shouldnt need more than one pair of shoes... and alot of other stuff.
so i start, this very morning, to try to live with out as many luxeries as possible.
im not saying im gonna live in a cave with nothing, but... well, hopefully you get the point.
things to think about.
