Oh vanity of vanities. It seems both the first reading and the Gospel were about trimming down and minimizing your earthly goods.
It is one of the hardest things for me to do. Life over the last 50+ years has been about keeping up with the Jones’s. I have been super bad at that. I have been hoarding geeky things for the last 5 years or so. Actually I have been collecting things my whole life. It started with toys like HotWheels and GI Joes. Were talking the old big GI Joes.
But I was a kid and didn’t know any better. Then I found my love of comic books. Man I collected so many of those I had to get special comic long boxes to store them. And when I bought them they came with bags to put them in.
As I got older I started collecting computers and computer parts and such. I also collected video game systems and games.
Man I had to much stuff. I still have to much stuff.
I need to start getting rid of things. I’m not that old yet that I will go to the home or something. So to get it so I don’t collect so much stuff. I stopped getting LootCrate, which is a box of geeky goods. Some I loved some I didn’t. Also I am trying to not buy as much junk as before. I am buying more books and such to make me better . But I still buy to much stuff and I need to stop. Here’s hoping I win the battle of the stuff.
