a vacation observation

Coming back from a two-week vacation, I'm realizing how much stuff I really honestly don't need. I didn't check my email for two weeks and guess what? I really didn't miss it that much. But now that I'm home, I find myself clicking on the send/receive button every half hour. Don't really need all my little household projects; the world keeps spinning whether they're finished or not.

We were out-of-pocket for two weeks but I really didn't miss our "stuff" that much. Okay, so yes, I missed our bed. But not much else of the materialistic variety. Stuff weighs us down. It clutters our homes, and more significantly, it clutters our minds. I think Jesus knew what was up when he started wandering the countryside with only the clothes on his back. It's a lot easier to focus on important matters when stuff isn't dragging us down.
