A BOX OF OLD SHIRTS
Today begins the 40 Days of Lent. Each day, I will fill a box with stuff that is going out of my life. On this first day, I chose shirts that I know I have not worn for over a year. Many of them don't even fit anymore.
Several were from NPM Conferences I have been to over the years.
One I bought at a souvenier shop on the island of Kawai.
One I bought at an outlet store in Pidgeon Forge, Tennessee, on my way to my niece's high school graduation.
All of them have memories. But I don't wear them anymore. They're just taking up space in a closet that's too small. Time to go.
Then he sent them out to preach the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick, after saying to them, "Take nothing with you for the trip: no walking stick, no beggar's bag, no food, no money, not even an extra shirt."
-Luke 9:3
