the opposite of hoarding.... and a freeing activity that can change the world.
Every year I ask myself the question.."what can i live without so that someone else can live?" Which results in the answer...pretty much everything....I know i am not seeing stuff as God sees stuff yet but this helps me to let go of some more material stuff that doesn't matter... it is so freeing!!!
Where does all the stuff go? We give all the clothes to TUGA (a local clothes give away) and the rest of the loot goes to Proceeds for Poverty. Last year i had a goal and we built a water well in India...helping bring hope to over 4,000 people.
This year i just want to simplify, let go, and change lives while i am doing it. Even a $1 worth of stuff can feed and care for an orphaned child for a day. $200 can give a family a buisness that will feed and care for them for lifetime.
My sister is doing it to... it is like therapy for us... i ended up with a her retro DC TALK cd... which i think i last heard on cassette...so all day yesterday i pumped up the jam in my mini van.. and rocked out... surprisingly i remembered every word....
not to sure about the theology on this one but.. check out that hair... they were soo cool.
Take a day, rock out to some ol' DCtalk, and change lives with me... go through your stuff and donate it to Proceeds for Poverty where 100% of the money made from it goes to help people living in utter poverty around the world. They will even come and pick up your old furniture/etc... just call 765-4300.

Matthew 6:19-20
Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal.
