A life less encumbered

The Salvation Army has come and gone. Thank you, God. The guys who drive the truck know us by name now. Thanks, Christopher for the title of today's post. We went to a concert on Saturday night. Before it started, a pastor who had been working in Tanzania spoke to us about life in an orphange there . One hundred children in two rooms. No running water or electricity. And here we are in the west with so much stuff we trip over it, dust it and give it away. For nothing. Our pets are on diet food because they are so fat. It made me think about what I have - I have so much. Some days I wish I had nothing; except the company of people. That is true richness- being around people that you love and love to be with.
