Texas ain’t that cold!!!

So I learned two things yesterday.  One, running was created as the worst kind of torture—fact.  But two, and this is really the purpose of blogging here today, I am a very material centered person.  Now I guess these are both things I have “known” before, but yesterday really just confirmed them.

See, yesterday afternoon I decided that when I went home then I would try to be productive and clear out a lot of my things that I don’t need.  The whole idea of trying to simplify my life with all the clutter of stuff so that I wouldn’t be distracted by them anymore so that I would be more free to focus on God was an appealing and logical idea that I wished to pursue.

HOWEVER, this task took a lot more effort then I had anticipated.  I was pulling out clothes I haven’t worn in forever, and realistically I forgot I even had them and yet I was extremely hesitant to give them away.  But why is that??  I kept thinking of reasons to hold on to my 4th long sleeved black shirt (what if I need to go painting and some of the paint spills on my other 3?).  really? that was my excuse?

And after much clinging and some relinquishing, I did manage to collect one large bag of clothes but I held on to a lot more then was necessary I’m sure.  Maybe in the next couple months I will go for a take two and try again, cause who really needs eight hoodies?  Texas isn’t THAT cold…
